Electrochemistry in Proteomics<br />
• peptide <strong>bond</strong> cleavage<br />
• <strong>disulfide</strong> <strong>bond</strong> <strong>reduction</strong><br />
• surface oxidation<br />
• desalting
Mechanism of cleavage after Y and W<br />
Tyrosine containing peptides: 1000mV<br />
Tryptophan containing peptides: 800mV<br />
Oxidation and cleavage pathways are pH dependent:<br />
• oxidation yield decreases with increasing pH<br />
• cleavage products formed only in acidic and neutral conditions<br />

Cleavage of Angiotensin I (DRVYIHPFHL)<br />
ADVANTAGES:<br />
1) …alternative to enzymatic digestion<br />
by electro-chemical push button<br />
reaction in seconds!<br />
2) clean, no enzymes, no non-specific<br />
cleavage, no auto-digestion, etc.<br />
CURRENT STATUS:<br />
1) cleavage of big proteins is under<br />
development,<br />
2) optimization to increase the<br />
reaction yield.

• on-line, electrochemical <strong>disulfide</strong><br />
<strong>bond</strong> <strong>reduction</strong> with DESI MS<br />
• identification of <strong>disulfide</strong> containing<br />
peptides from enzymatic digestion<br />
mixture<br />
• derivatization of thiols by selenamid<br />
• charge state distribution in proteins<br />
(native vs. reduced)<br />

Summary<br />
• EC/MS shows great potential in proteomics:<br />
• <strong>disulfide</strong> <strong>bond</strong> <strong>reduction</strong><br />
• protein (), peptide <strong>bond</strong> cleavage<br />
• surface oxidation<br />
• desalting<br />
• drug – protein binding<br />
• EC/MS is used successfully in mimicking of DNA damage and covalent<br />
adduct formation<br />
EC/MS represents a powerful technique for fast<br />
study of natures REDOX reactions.<br />
