Affinity chromatography (AC) is the most effective method
for biomolecules purification from complex mixtures. Successful separation by
AC requires availability of selective ligands.
Small peptides as AC ligands are more selective than dyes
and metals and more stable than antibodies. Divide-couple-recombine (DCR)
method allows obtaining libraries with all possible combinations of the amino
acids in the form of "one bead-one peptide". Peptide ligands can be
selected from library screening against specific targets. Positive beads are
isolated and peptides usually identified by Edman microsequencing. As this
technique is expensive and time-consuming, we previously reported a rapid and
inexpensive method based on MALDI-TOF MS analysis.
Success of MALDI measurements is partly empirical and
depends on the matrix type and proper sample preparation before MALDI analysis.
Contaminants, matrix clusters and metal ion adducts
interfere with peptide ionisation and mass spectrum interpretation. Herein we
analyse different strategies to improve the positive beads analysis by
MALDI-TOF/TOF MS.
A combinatorial library was synthesised on the
HMBA-ChemMatrix resin by the DCR method. After library screening, positive
beads were isolated for their analysis.
Guanidine, usually utilised for bead washing before peptide
analysis, was replaced by a mixture of acetonitrile (MeCN), acetic acid (AcOH)
and H2O (3:4:3). Removal of guanidine as contaminant improved matrix
crystallisation and peptide ionisation.
Peptide-bead cleavage and peptide elution were also
optimised: beads were placed into microtubes in a drying chamber together with
a flask containing NH4OH. Cleaved peptides were eluted from the beads with 20 µl
AcOH- MeCN-H2O (3:4:3) and 0.5 µl sample was loaded onto the sample plate.
Elution of peptides in microtubes instead of placing the bead in the sample
plate increased sample aliquots in case spectrum had to be repeated.
Two matrices were tested:
alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid
(DHB). Optimum concentrations for CHCA and DHB were 2-5 and 5-10 mg/ml
respectively. CHCA induced higher peptide ionisation, but CHCA clusters
sometimes interfere with MS spectrum interpretation. With DHB the matrix
clusters were reduced but also the peptide ionisation and the MSMS spectrum had
too few peaks to deduce the peptide sequence. The commercial ionic liquid
matrices (ILM) CHC-1-butylamine and CHC-diethylamine were also used for comparison.
By addition of serine to the sample matrix mixture at a
concentration of 20 mM, formation of clusters and adducts was minimised and
signal-to-noise ratio increased significantly.
