Abstract
Therapeutic proteins are recombinant proteins generated through recombinant DNA technology and have attracted a great deal of interest in numerous applications, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, human and animal health, agriculture, food, and bioremediation. Producing therapeutic proteins on a large scale, mainly in the pharmaceutical industry, necessitates a cost-effective, straightforward, and adequate manufacturing process. In industry, a protein separation technique based mainly on protein characteristics and modes of chromatography will be applied to optimize the purification process. Typically, the downstream process of biopharmaceutical operations may involve multiple chromatography phases that require the use of large columns pre-packed with resins that must be inspected before use. Approximately 20% of the proteins are assumed to be lost at each purification stage during the production of biotherapeutic products. Hence, to produce a high quality product, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, the correct approach and understanding of the factors influencing purity and yield during purification are necessary.

High-quality and robust protein quantification in large clinical/pharmaceutical cohorts with IonStar proteomics investigation. Nat Protoc 2023; 18:700-731.

Abstract
Robust, reliable quantification of large sample cohorts is often essential for meaningful clinical or pharmaceutical proteomics investigations, but it is technically challenging. When analyzing very large numbers of samples, isotope labeling approaches may suffer from substantial batch effects, and even with label-free methods, it becomes evident that low-abundance proteins are not reliably measured owing to unsufficient reproducibility for quantification. The MS1-based quantitative proteomics pipeline IonStar was designed to address these challenges. IonStar is a label-free approach that takes advantage of the high sensitivity/selectivity attainable by ultrahigh-resolution (UHR)-MS1 acquisition (e.g., 120-240k full width at half maximum at m/z = 200) which is now widely available on ultrahigh-field Orbitrap instruments. By selectively and accurately procuring quantitative features of peptides within precisely defined, very narrow m/z windows corresponding to the UHR-MS1 resolution, the method minimizes co-eluted interferences and substantially enhances signal-to-noise ratio of low-abundance species by decreasing noise level. This feature results in high sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy and precision for quantification of low-abundance proteins, as well as fewer missing data and fewer false positives. This protocol also emphasizes the importance of well-controlled, robust experimental procedures to achieve high-quality quantification across a large cohort. It includes a surfactant cocktail-aided sample preparation procedure that achieves high/reproducible protein/peptide recoveries among many samples, and a trapping nano-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry strategy for sensitive and reproducible acquisition of UHR-MS1 peptide signal robustly across a large cohort. Data processing and quality evaluation are illustrated using an example dataset ( http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org ), and example results from pharmaceutical project and one clinical project (patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome) are shown. The complete IonStar pipeline takes ~1-2 weeks for a sample cohort containing ~50-100 samples.

Abstract
Recent advances in analytical techniques provide the opportunity to quantify even low-abundance glycopeptides derived from complex biological mixtures, allowing for the identification of glycosylation differences between healthy samples and those derived from disease states. Herein, we discuss the sample preparation procedures and the mass spectrometry (MS) strategies that have facilitated glycopeptide quantification, as well as the standards used for glycopeptide quantification. For sample preparation, various glycopeptide enrichment methods are summarized including the columns used for glycopeptide separation in liquid chromatography separation. For MS analysis strategies, MS1 level-based quantification and MS2 level-based quantification are described, either with or without labeling, where we have covered isotope labeling, TMT/iTRAQ labeling, data dependent acquisition, data independent acquisition, multiple reaction monitoring, and parallel reaction monitoring. The strengths and weaknesses of these methods are compared, particularly those associated with the figures of merit that are important for clinical biomarker studies and the pathological and functional studies of glycoproteins in various diseases. Possible future developments for glycopeptide quantification are discussed.

Abstract
Characterization of proteomes aims to comprehensively characterize proteins in cells or tissues via two main strategies: (1) bottom-up strategy based on the separation and identification of enzymatic peptides; (2) top-down strategy based on the separation and identification of intact proteins. However, it is challenged by the high complexity of proteomes. Consequently, the improvements in peptide and protein separation technologies for simplifying the sample should be critical. In this feature article, separation columns for peptide and protein separation were introduced, and peptide separation technologies for bottom-up proteomic analysis as well as protein separation technologies for top-down proteomic analysis were summarized. The achievement, recent development, limitation and future trends are discussed. Besides, the outlook on challenges and future directions of chromatographic separation in the field of proteomics was also presented.

Abstract
The performance of the current bottom-up liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses has undoubtedly been fueled by spectacular progress in mass spectrometry. It is thus not surprising that the MS instrument attracts the most attention during LC-MS method development, whereas optimizing conditions for peptide separation using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) remains somewhat in its shadow. Consequently, the wisdom of the fundaments of chromatography is slowly vanishing from some laboratories. However, the full potential of advanced MS instruments cannot be achieved without highly efficient RPLC. This is impossible to attain without understanding fundamental processes in the chromatographic system and the properties of peptides important for their chromatographic behavior. We wrote this tutorial intending to give practitioners an overview of critical aspects of peptide separation using RPLC to facilitate setting the LC parameters so that they can leverage the full capabilities of their MS instruments. After briefly introducing the gradient separation of peptides, we discuss their properties that affect the quality of LC-MS chromatograms the most. Next, we address the in-column and extra-column broadening. The last section is devoted to key parameters of LC-MS methods. We also extracted trends in practice from recent bottom-up proteomics studies and correlated them with the current knowledge on peptide RPLC separation.

Process Development for the Instant Quantification of Lycopene from Agricultural Produces Using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography-Diode Array Detector (SFC-DAD). Foods 2022; 11:foods11040522. [PMID: 35205996 PMCID: PMC8871322 DOI: 10.3390/foods11040522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
A quick, simple, and reliable isocratic ultra-performance supercritical fluid chromatography-photodiode array detector (UPSFC-DAD) method was developed and validated to determine lycopene in different horticultural products. The effects of stationary phase, co-solvent, pressure, temperature, flow rate, and mobile phase additive on the separation of lycopene were evaluated. The developed method involved BEH-2EP—2.1 × 150 mm, 5 µm as the stationary phase, and CO2/MeOH 85:15 (v/v) with formic acid as the additive at 0.10% as the mobile phase. The column temperature was maintained at 45 °C, ABPR at 1800 psi, and the mobile phase’s flow rate was maintained at 1 mL/min. Under the optimized conditions, lycopene was successfully separated within 0.722 ± 0.001 min. The standard curve assayed over a range of 10 to 100 µg/mL resulted in a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The mean recoveries between 97.38% and 102.67% at different spiking levels with RSD < 2.5% were achieved. The intra and inter-day precision expressed as relative standard deviations (RSD) were found to range from 1.27% to 3.28% and from 1.57% to 4.18%, respectively. Robustness in terms of retention time (tR) and RSD were found to be 0.93 ± 0.23 min and less <2.80%, respectively. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.14 µg/mL and 0.37 µg/mL, respectively. This method was successfully applied to determine lycopene extracted from papaya, grapefruit, and bitter melon.

Abstract
Nowadays, massive genomics and transcriptomics data can be generated at the single-cell level. However, proteomics in this setting is still a big challenge. Despite the great improvements in sensitivity and performance of mass spectrometry instruments and the better knowledge on sample preparation processing, it is widely acknowledged that multistep proteomics workflows may lead to substantial sample loss, especially when working with paucicellular samples. Still, in clinical fields, frequently limited sample amounts are available for downstream analysis, thereby hampering comprehensive characterization at protein level. To aim at better protein and peptide recoveries, we compare existing and novel approaches in the multistep sample preparation protocols for mass spectrometry studies, from sample collection, cell lysis, protein quantification, and electrophoresis/staining to protein digestion, peptide recovery, and LC-MS/MS instruments. From this critical evaluation, we conclude that the recent innovations and technologies, together with high quality management of samples, make proteomics on paucicellular samples possible, which will have immediate impact for the proteomics community.

Performance of nanoflow liquid chromatography using core-shell particles: A comparison study. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1648:462218.

Abstract
Due to its unique structure, core-shell material has presented significantly improved chromatographic performance in comparison with conventional totally porous material. This has been well demonstrated in the analytical column format, e.g. 4.6 mm i.d. columns. In the proteomics field, there is always a demand for high resolution microseparation tools. In order to explore core-shell material's potential in proteomics-oriented microseparations, we investigated chromatographic performance of core-shell material in a nanoLC format, as well as its resolving power for protein digests. The results show core-shell nanoLC columns have similar van Deemter curves to the totally porous particle-packed nanoLC columns. For 100 µm i.d. capillary columns, the core-shell material does not have significantly better dynamics. However, both core-shell and totally porous particle-packed nanoLC columns have shown high efficiencies: plate heights of ~11 µm, equivalent to 90000 plates per meter, have been achieved with 5 µm particles. Using a 60 cm long core-shell nanoLC column, 72000 plates were realized in an isocratic separation of neutral compounds. For a 15 cm long nanoLC column, a maximum peak capacity of 220 has been achieved in a 5 hour gradient separation of protein digests, indicating the high resolving power of core-shell nanoLC columns. With a standard HeLa cell lysate as the sample, 2546 proteins were identified by using the core-shell nanoLC column, while 2916 proteins were identified by using the totally porous particle-packed nanoLC column. Comparing the two sets of proteomics data, it was found that 1830 proteins were identified by both columns, while 1086 and 716 proteins were uniquely identified by using totally porous and core-shell particle-packed nanoLC columns, respectively, suggesting their complementarity in nanoLC-MS based proteomics.

Abstract
The Orbitrap is now a core component of several different instruments. However, evaluating the capabilities of each system is lacking in the field. Here, we compared the performance of multidimensional protein identification (MudPIT) on Velos Pro Orbitrap and Velos Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometers to reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) on a Q-Exactive Plus and an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos. Using HeLa cell protein digests, we carried out triplicate analyses of 16 different chromatography conditions on four different instrumentation platforms. We first optimized RPLC conditions by varying column lengths, inner diameters, and particle sizes. We found that smaller particle sizes improve results but only with smaller inner diameter microcapillary columns. We then selected one chromatography condition on each system and varied gradient lengths. We used distributed normalized spectral abundance factor (dNSAF) values to determine quantitative reproducibility. With Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient r values routinely above 0.96, single RPLC on both the QE+ and Orbitrap Lumos outperformed MudPIT on the Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer. In addition, when comparing dNSAF values measured for the same proteins across the different platforms, RPLC on the Orbitrap Lumos had greater sensitivity than MudPIT, as demonstrated by the detection and quantification of histone deacetylase complex components. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier 10.6019/PXD009875.

Abstract
Capillary ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (cUHPLC) is essential for in-depth characterization of complex biomolecule mixtures by LC-MS. We developed a simple and fast method called FlashPack for custom packing of capillary columns of 50-100 cm length with sub- 2 μm sorbent particles. FlashPack uses high sorbent concentrations of 500-1,000 mg/ml for packing at relatively low pressure of 100 bar. Column blocking by sorbent aggregation is avoided during the packing by gentle mechanical tapping of the capillary proximal end by a slowly rotating magnet bar. Utilizing a standard 100-bar pressure bomb, Flashpack allows for production of 15-25 cm cUHPLC columns within a few minutes and of 50 cm cUHPLC columns in less than an hour. Columns exhibit excellent reproducibility of back-pressure, retention time, and resolution (CV 8.7%). FlashPack cUHPLC columns are inexpensive, robust and deliver performance comparable to commercially available cUHPLC columns. The FlashPack method is versatile and enables production of cUHPLC columns using a variety of sorbent materials.

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
Single-run mass spectrometry has enabled the detection and quantifications of E. coli proteins. A total of 2068 proteins quantified by intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) Schwanhäusser et al.: (Nature. 473, 337-342, 2011) procedure were obtained with single enzyme-trypsin, without pre-fractionation, by quadruplicate long liquid chromatography runs coupled with high-resolution linear trap quadrupole (LTQ)-Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometry. The single-run of 12 h has ability to cover almost 98% of the quadruplicate LC-MS/MS runs of E. coli proteome and is therefore almost equivalent to quadruplicate LC-MS/MS runs. These quantified proteins are about 52% of the total proteins present in E. coli genome according to Uniprot database. The quantified proteins covered almost all of the proteins in folate biosynthesis. Remarkably greater part of Gene Ontology (GO) Barrell et al.: (Nucleic Acids Res. 37, D396-D403, 2009), Ashburner et al.: (Nat. Genet. 25, 25-29, 2000) annotations, signaling pathways along with protein-protein interactions were covered. Some of the important biological processes-cell cycle, DNA repair, ion transport, ubiquinone biosynthetic process, pseudouridine synthesis, peptidoglycan biosynthetic process, RNA processing, and translation-revealed protein-protein interaction network generated by Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) Jensen, et al.:(Nucleic Acids Res 37, D412-D126, 2009) database. Therefore, to achieve the saturation point of detection of maximum number of proteins in single LC-MS/MS run, 12-h liquid chromatography gradient is appropriate. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Extreme sample complexity is an inherent challenge in shotgun proteomics that positions quality of chromatographic separations as one of the key determinants of attainable proteome coverage. In search of better separations, macroscopic physical characteristics of capillary columns, i.e., length and properties of stationary phase particles, are typically considered and optimized, while significance of packing bed morphology is frequently underappreciated. Here, we describe a technology that enables packing of capillary columns at excess of 30,000 psi and demonstrate that such columns exhibit reduced backpressure and remarkably reproducible chromatographic performance, improved on average by 23%. These enhancements afford up to 35% increase in the depth of commonplace bottom-up proteomic analyses, owning to augmented sensitivity and resolution of peptide separations and improvements in spectral quality. Our findings strongly corroborate advantages of ultra-high pressure packing of capillary columns for diverse shotgun proteomic workflows.

Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in direct contact with the brain and serves as a valuable specimen to examine diseases of the central nervous system through analyzing its components. These include the analysis of metabolites, cells as well as proteins. For identifying new suitable diagnostic protein biomarkers bottom-up data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mass spectrometry-based approaches are most popular. Drawbacks of this method are stochastic and irreproducible precursor ion selection. Recently, data-independent acquisition (DIA) emerged as an alternative method. It overcomes several limitations of DDA, since it combines the benefits of DDA and targeted methods like selected reaction monitoring (SRM). We established a DIA method for in-depth proteome analysis of CSF. For this, four spectral libraries were generated with samples from native CSF ( n = 5), CSF fractionation (15 in total) and substantia nigra fractionation (54 in total) and applied to three CSF DIA replicates. The DDA and DIA methods for CSF were conducted with the same nanoLC parameters using a 180 min gradient. Compared to a conventional DDA method, our DIA approach increased the number of identified protein groups from 648 identifications in DDA to 1574 in DIA using a comprehensive spectral library generated with DDA measurements from five native CSF and 54 substantia nigra fractions. We also could show that a sample specific spectral library generated from native CSF only increased the identification reproducibility from three DIA replicates to 90% (77% with a DDA method). Moreover, by utilizing a substantia nigra specific spectral library for CSF DIA, over 60 brain-originated proteins could be identified compared to only 11 with DDA. In conclusion, the here presented optimized DIA method substantially outperforms DDA and could develop into a powerful tool for biomarker discovery in CSF. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifiers PXD010698, PXD010708, PXD010690, PXD010705, and PXD009624.

Abstract
Protein identification by shotgun proteomics, i.e., nano-liquid chromatography (nanoLC) peptide separation online coupled to electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS)/MS, is the most widely used gel-free approach in proteome research. While the mass spectrometer accounts for mass accuracy and MS/MS frequency, the nanoLC setup and gradient time influence the number of peptides available for MS analysis, which ultimately determine the number of proteins identifiable. Here, we report on the influence of (i) analytical column length (15, 25, or 50 cm) coupled to (ii) the applied gradient length (120, 240, 360, 480, or 600 min), as well as (iii) MS/MS frequency on peptide/protein identification by shotgun proteomics of (iv) 2 marine bacteria. Longer gradients increased the number of peptides/proteins identified as well as the reproducibility of identification. Furthermore, longer analytical columns strictly enlarge the covered proteome complement. Notably, the proteome complement identified with a short column and applying a long gradient is also covered when using longer columns with shorter gradients. Coverage of the proteome complement further increases with higher MS/MS frequency. Compilation of peptide lists of replicate analyses (same gradient length) improves protein identification, while compilation of analyses with different gradient lengths yields a similar or even higher number of proteins using comparable or even less total analysis time.

Abstract
Fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) is a form of high-performance chromatography that takes advantage of the high resolution made possible by small-diameter stationary phases. It was originally developed for proteins and features high loading capacity, biocompatible aqueous buffer systems, fast flow rates, and availability of stationary phases in most common chromatography modes (e.g., ion exchange, gel filtration, reversed phase, and affinity). The system makes reproducible separation possible by incorporating a high level of automation including autosamplers, gradient program control, and peak collection. In addition to proteins, the method is applicable to other kinds of biological samples including oligonucleotides and plasmids. The most common type of FPLC experiment is anion exchange of proteins. This chapter describes such an experiment carried out using an ÄKTA FPLC explorer system (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Sweden).

Abstract
Commercial chromatographic instrumentation for bottom-up proteomics is often inadequate to resolve the number of peptides in many samples. This has inspired a number of complex approaches to increase peak capacity, including various multidimensional approaches, and reliance on advancements in mass spectrometry. One-dimensional reversed phase separations are limited by the pressure capabilities of commercial instruments and prevent the realization of greater separation power in terms of speed and resolution inherent to smaller sorbents and ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography. Many applications with complex samples could benefit from the increased separation performance of long capillary columns packed with sub-2μm sorbents. Here, we introduce a system that operates at a constant pressure and is capable of separations at pressures up to 45kpsi. The system consists of a commercially available capillary liquid chromatography instrument, for sample management and gradient creation, and is modified with a storage loop and isolated pneumatic amplifier pump for elevated separation pressure. The system's performance is assessed with a complex peptide mixture and a range of microcapillary columns packed with sub-2μm C18 particles.

Abstract
Capillary HPLC (cLC) with gradient elution is the separation method of choice for the fields of proteomics and metabolomics. This is due to the complementary nature of cLC flow rates and electrospray or nanospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The small column diameters result in good mass sensitivity. Good concentration sensitivity is also possible by injection of relatively large volumes of solution and relying on solvent-based solute focusing. However, if the injection volume is too large or solutes are poorly retained during injection, volume overload occurs which leads to altered peak shapes, decreased sensitivity, and lower peak capacity. Solutes that elute early even with the use of a solvent gradient are especially vulnerable to this problem. In this paper, we describe a simple, automated instrumental method, temperature-assisted on-column solute focusing (TASF), that is capable of focusing large volume injections of small molecules and peptides under gradient conditions. By injecting a large sample volume while cooling a short segment of the column inlet at subambient temperatures, solutes are concentrated into narrow bands at the head of the column. Rapidly raising the temperature of this segment of the column leads to separations with less peak broadening in comparison to solvent focusing alone. For large volume injections of both mixtures of small molecules and a bovine serum albumin tryptic digest, TASF improved the peak shape and resolution in chromatograms. TASF showed the most dramatic improvements with shallow gradients, which is particularly useful for biological applications. Results demonstrate the ability of TASF with gradient elution to improve the sensitivity, resolution, and peak capacity of volume overloaded samples beyond gradient compression alone. Additionally, we have developed and validated a double extrapolation method for predicting retention factors at extremes of temperature and mobile phase composition. Using this method, the effects of TASF can be predicted, allowing determination of the usefulness of this technique for a particular application.

Abstract
So-called 'in-depth proteomics' and its applied separation methodology to improve the proteome coverage depth has become an important issue in mass spectrometric-based proteomics and system-wide cell biology studies. Employing a bottom-up approach and a variety of separation techniques, it allows for identification of proteins with low copy numbers and enables researchers to correlate the number of expressed genes in a cell with the proteome. Here we describe recent advances in this field with emphasis on peptide and protein separation technologies. The discussion is focused both on single injection analyses employing long reversed phase liquid chromatography separations of peptides ('single shot proteomics') and on the combination of orthogonal protein and peptide separation methods to achieve maximum protein coverage. Owing to these improvements, in-depth proteomics has now fully entered the field and is being implemented in an increasing number of laboratories.

Abstract
Modern nano-HPLC systems are capable of extremely precise control of solvent gradients, allowing high-resolution separation of peptides. Most proteomics laboratories use a simple linear analytical gradient for nano-LC-MS/MS experiments, though recent evidence indicates that optimized non-linear gradients result in increased peptide and protein identifications from cell lysates. In concurrent work, we examined non-linear gradients for the analysis of samples fractionated at the peptide level, where the distribution of peptide retention times often varies by fraction. We hypothesized that greater coverage of these samples could be achieved using per-fraction optimized gradients. We demonstrate that the optimized gradients improve the distribution of peptides throughout the analysis. Using previous generation MS instrumentation, a considerable gain in peptide and protein identifications can be realized. With current MS platforms that have faster electronics and achieve shorter duty cycle, the improvement in identifications is smaller. Our gradient optimization method has been implemented in a simple graphical tool (GOAT) that is MS-vendor independent, does not require peptide ID input, and is freely available for non-commercial use at http://proteomics.swmed.edu/goat

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC-MRM-MS) of plasma that has been depleted of abundant proteins and fractionated at the peptide level into six to eight fractions is a proven method for quantifying proteins present at low nanogram-per-milliliter levels. A drawback of fraction-MRM is the increased analysis time due to the generation of multiple fractions per biological sample. We now report that the use of heated, long, fused silica columns (>30 cm) packed with 1.9 μm of packing material can reduce or eliminate the need for fractionation prior to LC-MRM-MS without a significant loss of sensitivity or precision relative to fraction-MRM. We empirically determined the optimal column length, temperature, gradient duration, and sample load for such assays and used these conditions to study detection sensitivity and assay precision. In addition to increased peak capacity, longer columns packed with smaller beads tolerated a 4- to 6-fold increase in analyte load without a loss of robustness or reproducibility. The longer columns also provided a 4-fold improvement in median limit-of-quantitation values with increased assay precision relative to the standard 12 cm columns packed with 3 μm material. Overall, the optimized chromatography provided an approximately 3-fold increase in analysis throughput with excellent robustness and less than a 2-fold reduction in quantitative sensitivity relative to fraction-MRM. The value of the system for increased multiplexing was demonstrated by the ability to configure an 800-plex MRM-MS assay, run in a single analysis, comprising 2400 transitions with retention time scheduling to monitor 400 unlabeled and heavy labeled peptide pairs.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based high-throughput proteomics is the core technique for large-scale protein characterization. Due to the extreme complexity of proteomes, sophisticated separation techniques and advanced MS instrumentation have been developed to extend coverage and enhance dynamic range and sensitivity. In this review, we discuss the separation and prefractionation techniques applied for large-scale analysis in both bottom-up (i.e., peptide-level) and top-down (i.e., protein-level) proteomics. Different approaches for quantifying peptides or intact proteins, including label-free and stable-isotope-labeling strategies, are also discussed. In addition, we present a brief overview of different types of mass analyzers and fragmentation techniques as well as selected emerging techniques.

Abstract
The process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing ones is called angiogenesis. Beyond playing a critical role in the physiological development of the vascular system, angiogenesis is a well-recognised hallmark of cancer. Unbiased system-wide approaches are required to complement the current knowledge, and intimately understand the molecular mechanisms regulating this process in physiological and pathological conditions. In this review we describe the cellular and molecular dynamics regulating the physiological growth of vessels and their deregulation in cancer, survey in vitro and in vivo models currently exploited to investigate various aspects of angiogenesis and describe state-of-the-art and most widespread methods and technologies in MS shotgun proteomics. Finally, we focus on current applications of MS to better understand endothelial cell behaviour and propose how modern proteomics can impact on angiogenesis research.

Abstract
In this second paper of a two-part series, on-line RPLC×HILIC is compared to on-line RPLC×RPLC through the separation of peptides. Our choices regarding the conditions are discussed. Injection effects and overloading effects are evaluated in both configurations. It is shown that whereas large volumes can be injected in the second dimension in RPLC×RPLC under HT-UHPLC conditions (>20% of the column dead volume), even small injection volumes (8% of the column the dead volume) have a detrimental effect on peak shapes in RPLC×HILIC. Advantages and limits of the two 2D-systems are compared through the 2D-separation of a tryptic digest of three proteins. A ten-fold gain in analysis time along with a significant gain in peak capacity are obtained with both systems compared to the most efficient one-dimensional separation of peptides recently published.

Abstract
Reversed-phase liquid chromatography is the most commonly used separation method for shotgun proteomics. Nanoflow chromatography has emerged as the preferred chromatography method for its increased sensitivity and separation. Despite its common use, there are a wide range of parameters and conditions used across research groups. These parameters have an effect on the quality of the chromatographic separation, which is critical to maximizing the number of peptide identifications and minimizing ion suppression. Here we examined the relationship between column lengths, gradient lengths, peptide identifications, and peptide peak capacity. We found that while longer column and gradient lengths generally increase peptide identifications, the degree of improvement is dependent on both parameters and is diminished at longer column and gradients. Peak capacity, in comparison, showed a more linear increase with column and gradient lengths. We discuss the discrepancy between these two results and some of the considerations that should be taken into account when deciding on the chromatographic conditions for a proteomics experiment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant DNA technology has been extensively employed to generate a variety of products from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) over the last decade, and the development of technologies capable of analyzing these products is crucial to understanding gene expression patterns. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for analyzing protein contents and possible expression modifications in GMOs. Specifically, the NanoUPLC-MSE technique provides rapid protein analyses of complex mixtures with supported steps for high sample throughput, identification and quantization using low sample quantities with outstanding repeatability. Here, we present an assessment of the peptide and protein identification and quantification of soybean seed EMBRAPA BR16 cultivar contents using NanoUPLC-MSE and provide a comparison to the theoretical tryptic digestion of soybean sequences from Uniprot database. RESULTS The NanoUPLC-MSE peptide analysis resulted in 3,400 identified peptides, 58% of which were identified to have no miscleavages. The experiment revealed that 13% of the peptides underwent in-source fragmentation, and 82% of the peptides were identified with a mass measurement accuracy of less than 5 ppm. More than 75% of the identified proteins have at least 10 matched peptides, 88% of the identified proteins have greater than 30% of coverage, and 87% of the identified proteins occur in all four replicates. 78% of the identified proteins correspond to all glycinin and beta-conglycinin chains.The theoretical Uniprot peptide database has 723,749 entries, and 548,336 peptides have molecular weights of greater than 500 Da. Seed proteins represent 0.86% of the protein database entries. At the peptide level, trypsin-digested seed proteins represent only 0.3% of the theoretical Uniprot peptide database. A total of 22% of all database peptides have a pI value of less than 5, and 25% of them have a pI value between 5 and 8. Based on the detection range of typical NanoUPLC-MSE experiments, i.e., 500 to 5000 Da, 64 proteins will not be identified. CONCLUSIONS NanoUPLC-MSE experiments provide good protein coverage within a peptide error of 5 ppm and a wide MW detection range from 500 to 5000 Da. A second digestion enzyme should be used depending on the tissue or proteins to be analyzed. In the case of seed tissue, trypsin protein digestion results offer good databank coverage. The Uniprot database has many duplicate entries that may result in false protein homolog associations when using NanoUPLC-MSE analysis. The proteomic profile of the EMBRAPA BR-16 seed lacks certain described proteins relative to the profiles of transgenic soybeans reported in other works.

Abstract
The use of narrow bore LC capillaries operated at ultralow flow rates coupled with mass spectrometry provides a desirable convergence of figures of merit to support high-performance LC-MS/MS analysis. This configuration provides a viable means to achieve in-depth protein sequence coverage while maintaining a high rate of data production. Here we explore potential performance improvements afforded by use of 25 μm × 100 cm columns fabricated with 5 μm diameter reversed phase particles and integrated electrospray emitter tips. These columns achieve a separation peak capacity of ≈750 in a 600-min gradient, with average chromatographic peak widths of less than 1 min. At room temperature, a pressure drop of only ≈1500 psi is sufficient to maintain an effluent flow rate of ≤10 nL/min. Using mouse embryonic stem cells as a model for complex mammalian proteomes, we reproducibly identify over 4000 proteins across duplicate 600 min LC-MS/MS analyses.

Abstract
The effect of temperature on separation using reversed-phase monolithic columns has been investigated using a nano-LC pumping system for gradient separation of tryptic peptides with MS detection. A goal of this study was to find optimal conditions for high-speed separations. The chromatographic performance of the columns was evaluated by peak capacity and peak capacity per time unit. Column lengths ranging from 20 to 100 cm and intermediate gradient times from 10 to 30 min were investigated to assess the potential of these columns in a final step separation, e.g. after fractionation or specific sample preparation. Flow rates from 250 to 2000 nL/min and temperatures from 20 to 120°C were investigated. Temperature had a significant effect on fast separations, and a flow rate of 2000 nL/min and a temperature of 80°C gave the highest peak capacity per time unit. These settings produced 70% more protein identifications in a biological sample compared to a conventional packed column. Alternatively, an equal amount of protein identifications was obtained with a 40% reduction in run time compared to the conventional packed column.

Abstract
The use of monolithic liquid chromatography (LC) columns for proteomics, covering the scientific literature from 2004 to the beginning of 2011, is reviewed. Attention is paid to recent developments in column technology and materials, focusing on silica-based and organic (polystyrene and methacrylate) monolithic capillary columns for proteomics. The applicability of these columns is illustrated by examples of the analysis of (complex) protein digests and proteins conveniently summarized in tables. Furthermore, characteristics of column materials are compared and future trends and prospects are presented.
