Abstract
Proteolytic peptide measurement using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) Acquisition by Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) on an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid Mass Spectrometer for peptide/protein identification and quantification.
Materials

  • Dionex UltiMate 3000 liquid chromatographic system (Thermo Fisher Scientific)

  • Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific)

  • Acclaim PepMap 100 C18 trap column (75 µm x 2 cm, 3 µm particle size) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, PN 164535)

  • Acclaim PepMap 100 C18 analytical column (75 µm x 50 cm, 3 µm particle size; Thermo Fisher Scientific, PN 164570)

  • Autosampler vials and caps

  • LC-MS-grade water

  • Indexed retention time peptides (iRT, Biognosys)
  • Solvent A: 2% acetonitrile (ACN), 0.1% formic acid (FA) in water

  • Solvent B: 98% acetonitrile (ACN), 0.1% formic acid (FA) in water
Troubleshooting
Dilute the peptide sample with solvent A (2% ACN, 0.1% FA) to the desired concentration. Transfer the samples to an autosampler vial and add iRT peptides to the sample according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Inject the sample onto a Dionex UltiMate 3000 liquid chromatographic system coupled to an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer and load the peptides on a C18 trap column over 10 min at 5 µL/min with 100% solvent A.
Elute the peptides with a C18 analytical column heated at 35°C and at a flow rate of 300 nL/min over 215 min using the following gradient of solvent B:
2% for 10 min
From 2% to 20% in 125 min
From 20% to 32% in 40 min
From 32% to 80% in 1 min
80% for 9 min
From 80% to 2% in 1 min
2% for 29 min.
Acquire the data in data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode using the settings described in Table 1. One cycle consists of one full MS scan collected in the Orbitrap analyzer followed by DIA-MS/MS scans collected in the Orbitrap analyzer based on an isolation scheme of 26 variable windows covering the 350 - 1,650 m/z range with an overlap of 1 m/z (Table 2).
