Resumo

An “off-line” combination of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with matrix-assisted laser-desorption mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has been developed for the structural characterization of CE-separated peptides and proteins. Using a sheath flow interface, similar to that developed for “on-line” CE—fast atom bombardment MS and CE—electrospray MS, an efficient sample isolation procedure has been developed which is applicable to bioorganic compounds in aqueous buffer solutions. This isolation procedure, with subsequent transfer to the MALDI-MS sample target, has been successfully used for the direct analysis of CE-separated proteins of Mr up to 67 000, and a mixture of apolipoprotein AII monomer and homodimer, using sample amounts of less than 1 pmol.
