Abstract: | Peptidomics has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the most universal and efficient tool
for structure identification of proteins and peptides. However, there is a limitation for the identification of peptides with
the same amino acid composition but different sequences because these peptides have identical mass spectra of molecular ions.
This paper presents a high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) method
for the separation of small molecular peptides with the same amino acid composition but different sequences. Two tripeptides
of Gly-Ser-Phe and Gly-Phe-Ser were used as a model sample. The separation behavior has been investigated and the separation
conditions have been optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good repeatability was achieved. The developed method could
provide a helpful reference for the separation of other peptides with the same amino acid composition but different sequences
in the study of proteomics and peptidomics. |
