Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry is a very efficient analytical method for the analysis of post-translational modifications because of its high separation efficiency and high detection sensitivity. Here we applied CE-MS using three differently coated separation capillaries for in-depth analysis of a set of 70 synthetic post-translationally modified peptides (including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, and nitration). We evaluated the results in terms of peptide detection and separation characteristics and found that the use of a neutrally coated capillary resulted in highest overall signal intensity of singly modified peptides. In contrast, the use of a bare-fused silica capillary was superior in the identification of multi-phosphorylated peptides (12 out of 15 were identified). Fast separations of approximately 12 min could be achieved using a positively coated capillary, however, at the cost of separation efficiency. A comparison to nanoLC-MS revealed that multi-phosphorylated peptides interact with the RP material very poorly so that these peptides were either washed out or elute as very broad peaks from the nano column which results in a reduced peptide identification rate (7 out of 15). Moreover, the methods applied were found to be very well suited for the analysis of the acetylated, nitrated and methylated peptides. All 36 synthetic peptides, which exhibit one of those modifications, could be identified regardless of the method applied. As a final step in this study and as a proof of principle, the phosphoproteome enriched from PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells was analyzed by CE-MS resulting in 5686 identified and 4088 quantified phosphopeptides. We compared the characterized analytes to those identified by a nanoLC-MS proteomics study and found that less than one third of the phosphopeptides were identical, which demonstrates the benefit by combining different approaches quite impressively.

Abstract
With the development of more sensitive hyphenation strategies for capillary electrophoresis-electrospray-mass spectrometry the technique has reemerged as technique with high separation power combined with high sensitivity in the analysis of peptides and protein digests. This review will discuss the newly developed hyphenation strategies for CE-ESI-MS and their application in bottom-up proteomics as well as the applications in the same time span, 2009 to present, using co-axial sheathliquid. Subsequently all separate aspects in the development of a CE-ESI-MS method for bottom-up proteomics shall be discussed, highlighting certain applications and discussing pros and cons of the various choices. The separation of peptides in a capillary electrophoresis system is discussed including the great potential for modeling of this migration of peptides due to the simple electrophoretic separation process. Furthermore, the technical aspects of method development are discussed, namely; background electrolyte choice, coating of the separation capillary and chosen loading method. Finally, conclusions and an outlook on future developments in the field of bottom-up proteomics by CE-ESI-MS will be provided.

Abstract
We describe a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for the surface modification of glass microfluidic devices designed to perform electrophoretic separations of cationic species. The microfluidic channel surfaces were modified using aminopropyl silane reagents. Coating homogeneity was inferred by precise measurement of the separation efficiency and electroosmotic mobility for multiple microfluidic devices. Devices coated with (3-aminopropyl)di-isopropylethoxysilane (APDIPES) yielded near diffusion-limited separations and exhibited little change in electroosmotic mobility between pH 2.8 and pH 7.5. We further evaluated the temporal stability of both APDIPES and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) coatings when stored for a total of 1 week under vacuum at 4 °C or filled with pH 2.8 background electrolyte at room temperature. Measurements of electroosmotic flow (EOF) and separation efficiency during this time confirmed that both coatings were stable under both conditions. Microfluidic devices with a 23 cm long, serpentine electrophoretic separation channel and integrated nanoelectrospray ionization emitter were CVD coated with APDIPES and used for capillary electrophoresis (CE)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) of peptides and proteins. Peptide separations were fast and highly efficient, yielding theoretical plate counts over 600,000 and a peak capacity of 64 in less than 90 s. Intact protein separations using these devices yielded Gaussian peak profiles with separation efficiencies between 100,000 and 400,000 theoretical plates.

Abstract
Glutelin, the major seed storage protein of rice (Oryza sativa L.), consists of multiple polymeric and monomeric subunits. Each subunit is composed of an α and a β polypeptide that are covalently linked by a disulfide bond. To analyze the microheterogeneous glutelin subunits using capillary electrophoresis (CE), the author identified the appropriate sample preparation procedures as well as optimal CE conditions. The glutelin was dissociated into its component α and β polypeptides by denaturation and reduction with low urea and 2-mercaptoethanol for a long incubation time at room temperature. The molecular species of the completely dissociated α and β polypeptides were identified and quantitatively analyzed by CE and SDS-PAGE using glutelin mutants. The measured CE migration times of the polypeptides correlated well with the calculated charge-to-size parameter values. Therefore, the rapid, simple, and precise separation and quantification of microheterogeneous proteins by CE required not only optimal CE conditions but also adequate protein pretreatment based on the molecular nature of the protein tested.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has emerged as a powerful technique for the analysis of proteins and peptides. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the development of novel and more effective interfaces for hyphenating CE to MS. This review provides an overview of these new interfacing techniques for coupling CE to MS, covering the scientific literature from January 2007 to December 2011. The potential of these new CE-MS interfacing techniques is demonstrated within the field of (clinical) proteomics, more specifically "bottom-up" proteomics, by showing examples of the analysis of various biological samples. The relevant papers on CE-MS for proteomics are comprehensively summarized in tables, including, e.g. information on sample type and pretreatment, interfacing and MS detection mode. Finally, general conclusions and future perspectives are provided.
