Abstract
Neuroproteomics, an emerging field at the intersection of neuroscience and proteomics, has garnered significant attention in the context of neurotrauma research. Neuroproteomics involves the quantitative and qualitative analysis of nervous system components, essential for understanding the dynamic events involved in the vast areas of neuroscience, including, but not limited to, neuropsychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, mental illness, traumatic brain injury, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and other neurodegenerative diseases. With advancements in mass spectrometry coupled with bioinformatics and systems biology, neuroproteomics has led to the development of innovative techniques such as microproteomics, single-cell proteomics, and imaging mass spectrometry, which have significantly impacted neuronal biomarker research. By analyzing the complex protein interactions and alterations that occur in the injured brain, neuroproteomics provides valuable insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying neurotrauma. This review explores how such insights can be harnessed to advance personalized medicine (PM) approaches, tailoring treatments based on individual patient profiles. Additionally, we highlight the potential future prospects of neuroproteomics, such as identifying novel biomarkers and developing targeted therapies by employing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). By shedding light on neurotrauma's current state and future directions, this review aims to stimulate further research and collaboration in this promising and transformative field.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, membrane proteins play a crucial role. They fall into three categories: intrinsic proteins, extrinsic proteins, and proteins that are essential to the human genome (30% of which is devoted to encoding them). Hydrophobic interactions inside the membrane serve to stabilize integral proteins, which span the lipid bilayer. This review investigates a number of computational and experimental methods used to study membrane proteins. It encompasses a variety of technologies, including electrophoresis, X-ray crystallography, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), biophysical methods, computational methods, and artificial intelligence. The link between structure and function of membrane proteins has been better understood thanks to these approaches, which also hold great promise for future study in the field. The significance of fusing artificial intelligence with experimental data to improve our comprehension of membrane protein biology is also covered in this paper. This effort aims to shed light on the complexity of membrane protein biology by investigating a variety of experimental and computational methods. Overall, the goal of this review is to emphasize how crucial it is to understand the functions of membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. It gives a general review of the numerous methods used to look into these crucial elements and highlights the demand for multidisciplinary approaches to advance our understanding.

Abstract
The aspiration of the multi-attribute method (MAM) is to utilize a single mass spectrometry-based method that can measure multiple attributes simultaneously, thus enabling data-driven decisions more quickly and efficiently. However, challenges associated with identifying and quantitating critical quality attributes such as asparagine deamidation and isoaspartic acid using conventional ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry have necessitated long gradients to ensure sufficient separation for quantitation. Microfluidic chip-based capillary zone electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) shows potential to enable rapid charge-based separation of peptide mixtures, and this approach was evaluated using multipeptide mixtures of synthetic peptides as well as digested protein therapeutics. In these experiments, repeatability, linearity, and peak-to-peak resolution of several peptide families containing asparagine deamidation and/or isoaspartic acid were demonstrated. In addition, a comparison of peptide map results acquired with both UHPLC-MS and CZE-MS for two enzymatically digested biological therapeutics showed comparable sequence coverage and quantitation results between the two approaches. As MAM becomes increasingly utilized for analysis of biological therapeutics, MS instrument demand will rapidly increase, resulting in a bottleneck. A CZE-based separation shows potential to alleviate this bottleneck by drastically increasing MAM throughput while providing results comparable to those acquired using conventional UHPLC separations.

Abstract
The South African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), a prominent vertebrate model in cell and developmental biology, has been instrumental in studying molecular mechanisms of neural development and disease. Recently, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), a bioanalytical technology, has expanded the molecular toolbox of protein detection and characterization (proteomics). This chapter overviews the characteristics, advantages, and challenges of this biological model and technology. Discussions are offered on their combined use to aid studies on cell differentiation and development of neural tissues. Finally, the emerging integration of proteomics and other 'omic technologies is reflected on to generate new knowledge, drive and test new hypotheses, and ultimately, advance the understanding of neural development during states of health and disease.

Abstract
Single-cell metabolomics provides information on the biochemical state of an individual cell and its relationship with the surrounding environment. Characterization of metabolic cellular heterogeneity is challenging, in part due to the small amounts of analytes and their wide dynamic concentration ranges within individual cells. CE-ESI-MS is well suited to single-cell assays because of its low sample-volume requirements and low detection limits. While the volume of a cell is in the picoliter range, after isolation, the typical volume of the lysed cell sample is on the order of a microliter; however, only nanoliters are injected into the CE system, with the volume mismatch limiting analytical performance. Here we developed an approach for the detection of intracellular metabolites from a single neuron using field amplified sample injection (FASI) CE-ESI-MS. Through the application of FASI, we achieved 100- to 300-fold detection limit enhancement compared to hydrodynamic injections. We further enhanced the analyte identification and quantification accuracy via introduction of two internal standards. As a result, the relative standard deviations of migration times were reduced to <5%, aiding identification. Finally, we successfully applied FASI CE-ESI-MS to the untargeted profiling of metabolites of Aplysia californica pleural sensory neurons with <50 μm diameter cell somata. As a result, twenty one neurotransmitters and metabolites have been quantified in these neurons.

Abstract
Statistically, accurate protein identification is a fundamental cornerstone of proteomics and underpins the understanding and application of this technology across all elements of medicine and biology. Proteomics, as a branch of biochemistry, has in recent years played a pivotal role in extending and developing the science of accurately identifying the biology and interactions of groups of proteins or proteomes. Proteomics has primarily used mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques for identifying proteins, although other techniques including affinity-based identifications still play significant roles. Here, we outline the basics of MS to understand how data are generated and parameters used to inform computational tools used in protein identification. We then outline a comprehensive analysis of the bioinformatics and computational methodologies used in protein identification in proteomics including discussing the most current communally acceptable metrics to validate any identification.

Abstract
Progress in proteomics research has led to a demand for powerful analytical tools with high separation efficiency and sensitivity for confident identification and quantification of proteins, posttranslational modifications, and protein complexes expressed in cells and tissues. This demand has significantly increased interest in capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) in the past few years. This review provides highlights of recent advances in CE-MS for proteomics research, including a short introduction to top-down mass spectrometry and native mass spectrometry (native MS), as well as a detailed overview of CE methods. Both the potential and limitations of these methods for the analysis of proteins and peptides in synthetic and biological samples and the challenges of CE methods are discussed, along with perspectives about the future direction of CE-MS. @ 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
From plant research to biomedicine, proteome analysis plays a critical role in many areas of biological inquiry. Steady improvement in mass spectrometer (MS) technology has transformed the speed and depth of proteome analysis. Proteomes of simple organisms can now be sequenced to near completion in just over an hour. Comparable coverage of mammalian proteomes, however, still requires hours or even days of analysis. Here we ask why current technology fails to achieve comprehensive and rapid analysis of the more complex mammalian proteomes. We propose that further advancements in MS technology alone are unlikely to solve this problem and suggest that concomitant improvements in peptide separation technology will be critical.

Abstract
Owing to rapid growth in the elucidation of genome sequences of various organisms, deducing proteome sequences has become imperative, in order to have an improved understanding of biological processes. Since the traditional Edman method was unsuitable for high-throughput sequencing and also for N-terminus modified proteins, mass spectrometry (MS) based methods, mainly based on soft ionization modes: electrospray ionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, began to gain significance. MS based methods were adaptable for high-throughput studies and applicable for sequencing N-terminus blocked proteins/peptides too. Consequently, over the last decade a new discipline called 'proteomics' has emerged, which encompasses the attributes necessary for high-throughput identification of proteins. 'Proteomics' may also be regarded as an offshoot of the classic field, 'biochemistry'. Many protein sequencing and proteomic investigations were successfully accomplished through MS dependent sequence elucidation of 'short proteolytic peptides (typically: 7-20 amino acid residues), which is called the 'shotgun' or 'bottom-up (BU)' approach. While the BU approach continues as a workhorse for proteomics/protein sequencing, attempts to sequence intact proteins without proteolysis, called the 'top-down (TD)' approach started, due to ambiguities in the BU approach, e.g., protein inference problem, identification of proteoforms and the discovery of posttranslational modifications (PTMs). The high-throughput TD approach (TD proteomics) is yet in its infancy. Nevertheless, TD characterization of purified intact proteins has been useful for detecting PTMs. With the hope to overcome the pitfalls of BU and TD strategies, another concept called the 'middle-down (MD)' approach was put forward. Similar to BU, the MD approach also involves proteolysis, but in a restricted manner, to produce 'longer' proteolytic peptides than the ones usually obtained in BU studies, thereby providing better sequence coverage. In this regard, special proteases (OmpT, Sap9, IdeS) have been used, which can cleave proteins to produce longer proteolytic peptides. By reviewing ample evidences currently existing in the literature that is predominantly on PTM characterization of histones and antibodies, herein we highlight salient features of the MD approach. Consequently, we are inclined to claim that the MD concept might have widespread applications in future for various research areas, such as clinical, biopharmaceuticals (including PTM analysis) and even for general/routine characterization of proteins including therapeutic proteins, but not just limited to analysis of histones or antibodies.

Abstract
We introduce a method for data inspection in liquid separations of peptides using amino acid retention coefficients and their relative change across experiments. Our method allows for the direct comparison between actual experimental conditions, regardless of sample content and without the use of internal standards. The modeling uses linear regression of peptide retention time as a function of amino acid composition. We demonstrate the pH dependency of the model in a control experiment where the pH of the mobile phase was changed in controlled way. We introduce a score to identify the false discovery rate on peptide spectrum match level that corresponds to the set of most robust models, i.e. to maximize the shared agreement between experiments. We demonstrate the method utility in reversed-phase liquid chromatography using 24 datasets with minimal peptide overlap. We apply our method on datasets obtained from a public repository representing various separation designs, including one-dimensional reversed-phase liquid chromatography followed by tandem mass spectrometry, and two-dimensional online strong cation exchange coupled to reversed-phase liquid chromatography followed by tandem mass spectrometry, and highlight new insights. Our method provides a simple yet powerful way to inspect data quality, in particular for multidimensional separations, improving comparability of data at no additional experimental cost.

Abstract
Advancements in chromatographic separation are critical to in-depth top-down proteomics of complex intact protein samples. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography is the most prevalent technique for top-down proteomics. However, in cases of high complexities and large dynamic ranges, 1D-RPLC may not provide sufficient coverage of the proteome. To address these challenges, orthogonal separation techniques are often combined to improve the coverage and the dynamic range of detection. In this study, a "salt-free" high-pH RPLC was evaluated as an orthogonal dimension of separation to conventional low-pH RPLC with top-down MS. The RPLC separations with low-pH conditions (pH=2) and high-pH conditions (pH=10) were compared to confirm the good orthogonality between high-pH and low-pH RPLC's. The offline 2D RPLC-RPLC-MS/MS analyses of intact E. coli samples were evaluated for the improvement of intact protein identifications as well as intact proteoform characterizations. Compared to the 163 proteins and 328 proteoforms identified using a 1D RPLC-MS approach, 365 proteins and 886 proteoforms were identified using the 2D RPLC-RPLC top-down MS approach. Our results demonstrate that the 2D RPLC-RPLC top-down approach holds great potential for in-depth top-down proteomics studies by utilizing the high resolving power of RPLC separations and by using mass spectrometry compatible buffers for easy sample handling for online MS analysis.

[PMID: 29439415 PMCID: PMC5853730 DOI: 10.3390/nano8020099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2018] [Revised: 01/22/2018] [Accepted: 01/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Due to the increasing use and production of nanomaterials (NMs), the ability to characterise their physical/chemical properties quickly and reliably has never been so important. Proper characterisation allows a thorough understanding of the material and its stability, and is critical to establishing dose-response curves to ascertain risks to human and environmental health. Traditionally, methods such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Flow Fractionation (FFF) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) have been favoured for size characterisation, due to their wide-availability and well-established protocols. Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) offers a faster and more cost-effective solution for complex dispersions including polydisperse or non-spherical NMs. CE has been used to rapidly separate NMs of varying sizes, shapes, surface modifications and compositions. This review will discuss the literature surrounding the CE separation techniques, detection and NM characteristics used for the analysis of a wide range of NMs. The potential of combining CE with mass spectrometry (CE-MS) will also be explored to further expand the characterisation of NMs, including the layer of biomolecules adsorbed to the surface of NMs in biological or environmental compartments, termed the acquired biomolecule corona. CE offers the opportunity to uncover new/poorly characterised low abundance and polar protein classes due to the high ionisation efficiency of CE-MS. Furthermore, the possibility of using CE-MS to characterise the poorly researched small molecule interactions within the NM corona is discussed.

Abstract
The use of noninvasive human substrates to interrogate pathophysiological conditions has become essential in the post- Human Genome Project era. Due to its high turnover rate, and its long term capability to incorporate exogenous and endogenous substances from the circulation, hair testing is emerging as a key player in monitoring long term drug compliance, chronic alcohol abuse, forensic toxicology, and biomarker discovery, among other things. Novel high-throughput 'omics based approaches like proteomics have been underutilized globally in comprehending human hair morphology and its evolving use as a diagnostic testing substrate in the era of precision medicine. There is paucity of scientific evidence that evaluates the difference in drug incorporation into hair based on lipid content, and very few studies have addressed hair growth rates, hair forms, and the biological consequences of hair grooming or bleaching. It is apparent that protein-based identification using the human hair proteome would play a major role in understanding these parameters akin to DNA single nucleotide polymorphism profiling, up to single amino acid polymorphism resolution. Hence, this work seeks to identify and discuss the progress made thus far in the field of molecular hair testing using proteomic approaches, and identify ways in which proteomics would improve the field of hair research, considering that the human hair is mostly composed of proteins. Gaps in hair proteomics research are identified and the potential of hair proteomics in establishing a historic medical repository of normal and disease-specific proteome is also discussed.

Abstract
Transcriptional coregulators are vital to the efficient transcriptional regulation of nuclear chromatin structure. Coregulators play a variety of roles in regulating transcription. These include the direct interaction with transcription factors, the covalent modification of histones and other proteins, and the occasional chromatin conformation alteration. Accordingly, establishing relatively quick methods for identifying proteins that interact within this network is crucial to enhancing our understanding of the underlying regulatory mechanisms. LC-MS/MS-mediated protein binding partner identification is a validated technique used to analyze protein-protein interactions. By immunoprecipitating a previously-identified member of a protein complex with an antibody (occasionally with an antibody for a tagged protein), it is possible to identify its unknown protein interactions via mass spectrometry analysis. Here, we present a method of protein preparation for the LC-MS/MS-mediated high-throughput identification of protein interactions involving nuclear cofactors and their binding partners. This method allows for a better understanding of the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of the targeted nuclear factors.

Abstract
In this work, we describe the characterization of a quantity-limited sample (100 ng) of yeast mitochondria by shotgun bottom-up proteomics. Sample characterization was carried out by sheathless capillary electrophoresis, equipped with a high sensitivity porous tip and coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (CESI-MS-MS) and concomitantly with a state-of-art nano flow liquid chromatography coupled to a similar mass spectrometry (MS) system (nanoLC-MS-MS). With single injections, both nanoLC-MS-MS and CESI-MS-MS 60 min-long separation experiments allowed us to identify 271 proteins (976 unique peptides) and 300 proteins (1,765 unique peptides) respectively, demonstrating a significant specificity and complementarity in identification depending on the physicochemical separation employed. Such complementary, maximizing the number of analytes detected, presents a powerful tool to deepen a biological sample's proteomic characterization. A comprehensive study of the specificity provided by each separating technique was also performed using the different properties of the identified peptides: molecular weight, mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), isoelectric point (pI), sequence coverage or MS-MS spectral quality enabled to determine the contribution of each separation. For example, CESI-MS-MS enables to identify larger peptides and eases the detection of those having extreme pI without impairing spectral quality. The addition of peptides, and therefore proteins identified by both techniques allowed us to increase significantly the sequence coverages and then the confidence of characterization. In this study, we also demonstrated that the two yeast enolase isoenzymes were both characterized in the CESI-MS-MS data set. The observation of discriminant proteotypic peptides is facilitated when a high number of precursors with high-quality MS-MS spectra are generated.

Abstract
Proteomic strategies provide a valuable tool kit to identify proteins involved in diseases. With recent progress in MS technology, high throughput proteomics has accelerated protein identification for potential biomarkers. Numerous biomarker candidates have been identified in several diseases, and many are common among pathologies. An overall strategy that could complement and strengthen the search for biomarkers is combining protein identity with biological outcomes. This review describes an emerging framework of bridging bioactivity to protein identity, exploring the possibility that some biomarkers will have a mechanistic role in the disease process. A review of pulmonary, cardiovascular, and CNS biomarkers will be discussed to demonstrate the utility of combining bioactivity with identification as a means to not only find meaningful biomarkers, but also to uncover functional mediators of disease.

Abstract
A sulfonate-silica hybrid strong cation-exchange (SCX) monolith was synthesized at the proximal end of a capillary zone electrophoresis column and used for on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) sample preconcentration. Sample was prepared in an acidic buffer and deposited onto the SCX-SPE monolith and eluted using a basic buffer. Electrophoresis was performed in an acidic buffer. This combination of buffers results in formation of a dynamic pH junction, which allows use of relatively large elution buffer volume while maintaining peak efficiency and resolution. All experiments were performed with a 50 µm ID capillary, a 1cm long SCX-SPE monolith, a 60cm long separation capillary, and a electrokinetically pumped nanospray interface. The volume of the capillary is 1.1 µL. By loading 21 µL of a 1×10(-7) M angiotensin II solution, an enrichment factor of 3000 compared to standard electrokinetic injection was achieved on this platform while retaining efficient electrophoretic performance (N=44,000 plates). The loading capacity of the sulfonate SCX hybrid monolith was determined to be ~15 pmol by frontal analysis with 10(-5) M angiotensin II. The system was also applied to the analysis of a 10(-4) mg/mL bovine serum albumin tryptic digest; the protein coverage was 12% and 11 peptides were identified. Finally, by loading 5.5 µL of a 10(-3) mg/mL E. coli digest, 109 proteins and 271 peptides were identified in a 20 min separation; the median separation efficiency generated by these peptides was 25,000 theoretical plates.

Abstract
Long-term preservation of live cells is critical for a broad range of clinical and research applications. With the increasing diversity of cells that need to be preserved (e.g. oocytes, stem and other primary cells, genetically modified cells), careful optimization of preservation protocols becomes tedious and poses significant limitations for all but the most expert users. To address the challenge of long-term storage of critical, heterogeneous cell types, we propose a universal protocol for cell vitrification that is independent of cell phenotype and uses only low concentrations of cryoprotectant (1.5 M PROH and 0.5 M trehalose). We employed industrial grade microcapillaries made of highly conductive fused silica, which are commonly used for analytical chemistry applications. The minimal mass and thermal inertia of the microcapillaries enabled us to achieve ultrafast cooling rates up to 4,000 K/s. Using the same low, non-toxic concentration of cryoprotectant, we demonstrate high recovery and viability rates after vitrification for human mammary epithelial cells, rat hepatocytes, tumor cells from pleural effusions, and multiple cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Sample preparation for both environmental and more importantly biological matrices is a bottleneck of all kinds of analytical processes. In the case of proteomic analysis this element is even more important due to the amount of cross-reactions that should be taken into consideration. The incorporation of new post-translational modifications, protein hydrolysis, or even its degradation is possible as side effects of proteins sample processing. If protocols are evaluated appropriately, then identification of such proteins does not bring difficulties. However, if structural changes are provided without sufficient attention then protein sequence coverage will be reduced or even identification of such proteins could be impossible. This review summarizes obstacles and achievements in protein sample preparation of urine for proteome analysis using different tools for mass spectrometry analysis. The main aim is to present comprehensively the idea of urine application as a valuable matrix. This article is dedicated to sample preparation and application of urine mainly in novel cancer biomarkers discovery.

Abstract
In this commentary, we focused our attention on capillary electrophoresis. It achieves the efficient separation of molecular species by the application of high voltages to samples in solution. Actually, capillary electrophoresis can be performed on microchip devices, based on an automated and miniaturized electrophoresis system, based on lab-on-a-chip technology. By this technology it is possible to separate nucleic acid fragments (DNA or RNA) with respect to sizing accuracy and sizing resolution. Currently, two automated capillary electrophoresis on microchips devices are available: the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and the Experion™ Automated Electrophoresis System. In this study, we evaluated if the CE is able to distinguish the three uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 TATA-box genotypes.

Abstract
Coupling CE-based separation techniques to MS creates a powerful platform for analysis of a wide range of biomolecules from complex samples because it combines the high separation efficiency of CE and the sensitivity and selectivity of MS detection. ESI and MALDI, as the most common soft ionization techniques employed for CE and MS coupling, offer distinct advantages for biomolecular characterization. This review is focused primarily on technological advances in combining CE and chip-based CE with ESI and MALDI-MS detection in the past five years. Selected applications in the analyses of metabolites, peptides, and proteins with recently developed CE-MS platforms are also highlighted.

Abstract
This study reported a pH-mediated stacking CE coupled with ESI MS/MS method to determine the phosphorylation sites of three synthetic phosphopeptides containing structural isomers. These phosphopeptides mimic the phosphopeptides (amino acid residues 12-25) derived from the trypsin-digested products of human lamin A/C protein. The LODs were determined to be 118, 132 and 1240 fmol for SGAQASS(19)TpPL(22)SPTR, SGAQASS(19)TPL(22)SpPTR, and SGAQASS(19)TpPL(22)SpPTR, respectively. The established method was employed to analyze the phosphorylation sites of the trypsin-digested products of glutathione S-transferase-lamin A/C (1-57) fusion protein that had been phosphorylated in vitro by cyclin-dependent kinase 1. The results indicated that this method is feasible to specifically determine the phosphorylation site from phosphopeptide isomers in the trypsin-digested products of a kinase-catalyzed phosphoprotein, which should benefit the investigation of protein kinase-mediated cellular signal transduction.

Abstract
Analyte recovery is an important figure to assess protein adsorption on fused-silica capillaries. In 1991, Regnier et al. estimated recovery by assuming the loss of analyte from adsorption and thus the decrease in peak area measured by two detectors to be proportional to the length of the capillary section between them. In this report, we closely examine this concept and its adaptation to commercial CE instruments to determine protein recovery. We hypothesize that, once a steady-state migration is reached, protein adsorption is a first-order process with respect to protein concentration and surface density of adsorbing sites. This hypothesis is shown to be valid over a reasonably wide range of capillary effective length and, as a result, protein recovery decreases exponentially with the migrated distance. However, unlike the traditional recovery figure obtained through a conventional spike process, protein recovery measured by this approach does not have the same merit since it is strongly dependent from capillary dimensions and applied electric field. Nevertheless, protein recovery and the slope of the logarithmic protein peak area versus length plot are useful figures to compare protein adsorption on different capillary surfaces. Several literature reports dealing with the application of Regnier concept to calculate protein recovery are discussed.

Abstract
Methoxyethylamine monosubstituted β-cyclodextrin, mono-6(A)-(2-methoxyethyl-1-ammonium)-6(A)-β-cyclodextrin chloride (MEtAMCD), is synthesized and analytically characterized. Bearing a methoxy group in cyclodextrin rim, MEtAMCD exhibits outstanding enantioselectivities toward ampholytic and acidic racemates in capillary electrophoresis. Driven by inclusion complexation, electrostatic interactions and/or hydrogen bonding, the enantioseparation of MEtAMCD is found to be strongly dependent on various separation parameters including buffer pH, cyclodextrin concentration, applied voltage, separation temperature and organic solvent additives. MEtAMCD demonstrates as a versatile cationic chiral selector for the studied 26 acidic and ampholytic enantiomers.

Abstract
We describe a solid phase microextraction (SPME), multistep elution, transient isotachophoresis (tITP) capillary electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CE-MS/MS) procedure which employs a high sensitivity porous electrospray ionization (ESI) sprayer for the proteomic analysis of a moderately complex protein mixture. In order to improve comprehensiveness and sensitivity over a previously reported proteomic application of the ESI sprayer, we evaluated preconcentration with SPME and multistep elution prior to tITP stacking and CE separation. To maximize separation efficiency, we primarily employed electrokinetic methods for elution and separation after loading the sample by application of pressure. Conditions were developed for optimum simultaneous electrokinetic elution and sample stacking using a tryptic digest of 16 proteins to maximize peptide identifications and minimize band broadening. We performed comparative proteomic analysis of a dilution series using CE and nanoflow liquid chromatography (nLC). We found complementary peptide and protein identifications with larger quantities (100 ng) of a Pyrococcus furiosus tryptic digest, but with mass-limited amounts (5 ng) CE was 3 times more effective at identifying proteins. We attribute these gains in sensitivity to lower noise levels with the porous CE sprayer, illustrated by better signal-to-noise ratios of peptide precursor ions and associated higher XCorr values of identified peptides when compared directly to nLC. From comparative analysis of SPME-tITP-CE with direct injection CE, the SPME-tITP process improved comprehensiveness and sensitivity.

Abstract
After shining as the ultimate separation - sequencing technique used for the successful completion of the Human Genome Project, in the early 2000s CE experienced lowered popularity among separation scientists. The renewed interest in recent years relates to the separation needs, especially in proteomics, metabolomics, and glycomics, where CE complements liquid chromatography techniques. This interest is further boosted by the regulators requiring additional separation techniques for characterization of newly developed pharmaceuticals. This paper gives a short overview of recent developments in the on-line interfacing of CE separation techniques with electrospray ionization/mass spectrometric analysis. Both the instrumentation and selected CE/ESI/MS applications including analyses of peptides, proteins, and glycans are discussed with the stress on research published in the past 3 years. Techniques related to the proteomic and glycomic analyses such as sample preconcentration, on-line protein digestion, and analyte derivatization prior CE/ESI/MS analysis are also included.

Abstract
Herein, we report a pressure-assisted capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometric imaging (PACE-MSI) platform for peptide analysis. This new platform has addressed the sample diffusion and peak splitting problems that appeared in our previous groove design, and it enables homogeneous deposition of the CE trace for high-throughput MALDI imaging. In the coupling of CE to MSI, individual peaks (m/z) can be visualized as discrete colored image regions and extracted from the MS imaging data, thus eliminating issues with peak overlapping and reducing reliance on an ultrahigh mass resolution mass spectrometer. Through a PACE separation, 46 tryptic peptides from bovine serum albumin and 150 putative neuropeptides from the pericardial organs of a model organism blue crab Callinectes sapidus were detected from the MALDI MS imaging traces, enabling a 4- to 6-fold increase of peptide coverage as compared with direct MALDI MS analysis. For the first time, quantitation with high accuracy was obtained using PACE-MSI for both digested tryptic peptides and endogenous neuropeptides from complex biological samples in combination with isotopic formaldehyde labeling. Although MSI is typically employed in tissue imaging, we show in this report that it offers a unique tool for quantitative analysis of complex trace-level analytes with CE separation. These results demonstrate a great potential of the PACE-MSI platform for enhanced quantitative proteomics and neuropeptidomics.

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.
