    摘要: Disclosed are methods for identification of one or more non-native disulfide bonds in a biomolecule (e.g, an antibody). In an example, a method includes performing a digestion of the biomolecule under non-reducing conditions to provide a sample comprising a plurality of biomolecule fragments, contacting the sample to a separation column, applying a first mobile phase gradient comprising trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and a small molecule additive to the separation column, applying a second mobile phase gradient comprising TFA in acetonitrile (ACN) and a small molecule additive to the separation column, performing a partial reduction procedure on the eluted sample, applying the partially reduced eluted sample components to a mass spectrometer, and performing a mass spectrometric analysis on the partially reduced eluted sample components to identify the one or more non-native disulfide bonds in the biomolecule.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of body fluid proteins, by which proteins from body fluids such as blood or urine are extracted by adding a certain proportion of high molecular polymer solution under low temperature condition followed by denaturation and reduction by adding a certain concentration of surfactant and tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP) under a high temperature condition. Subsequently, the iodoacetic acid brushes grafted on silica microspheres called as solid-phase alkylation reagents are added into protein solution, which can react rapidly with the protein sulfhydryl group. After centrifugation, the microspheres are obtained and repeatedly washed with methanol and buffer to remove interferences such as sugars, salts, surfactants, lipids to obtain high-purity proteins, and finally protease is added to digest proteins into peptides. After centrifugation, the peptide products are obtained, and directly analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system. Compared with the traditional protein pretreatment method, the method has many advantages such as good anti-interference capability, easy operation and short pretreatment time.
