Title	Peptide C-terminal Sequence Analysis by MALDI-TOF MS Utilizing EDC Coupling with Br Signature
Author	Mansup Shin, Hie Joon Kim *
Keywords	C-terminal sequencing, MALDI -TOF MS, Peptide, Br signature
Abstract	The unique Br signature was utilized for C-terminal amino acid sequencing of model peptides. C-terminal carboxyl group was selectively derivatized in peptides, containing side chain carboxyl group, using 1-ethyl-3- [3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and Br was introduced using 4-bromophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (BPH) in a one pot reaction. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) tandem mass spectra were obtained carrying the Br signature in the y-series ions. The Br signature facilitated C-terminal sequencing and discrimination of C-terminal carboxyl groups in the free acid and amide forms.
