Online multidimensional separation with biphasic monolithic capillary column for shotgun proteome analysis

J Proteome Res. 2008 Jan;7(1):306-10. doi: 10.1021/pr700562b. Epub 2007 Dec 8.

Abstract

A biphasic monolithic capillary column with 10 cm segment of strong-cation exchange monolith and 65 cm segment of reversed-phase monolith was prepared within a single 100 microm i.d. capillary. Separation performance of this column was evaluated by a five-cycle online multidimensional separation of 10 microg tryptic digest of yeast proteins using nanoflow liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, and it took 12 h for whole separation under the operating pressure only approximately 900 psi. Totally, 780 distinct proteins were positively identified through assignment of 2953 unique peptides at false-positive rate less than 1%. The good separation performance of this biphasic column was largely attributed to the good orthogonality of the strong-cation exchange monolith and reversed-phase monolith for multidimensional separation.
