INTRODUCTION: Gel Electrophoresis is used to separate proteins from the mixture of different proteins of different molecular size. 2D Gel Electrophoresis separates the proteins of same molecular size. It was given by O’Farrell and Klose in 1975. Firstly, the Serum proteins were separated by using this method. It separates the proteins based on molecular size as well as charges. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 15
TWO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROPHORESIS This technique combines the technique IEF (first dimension), which separates proteins in a mixture according to charge (PI), with the size separation technique of SDS-PAGE second dimension). The combination of these two technique to give two-dimension(2-D)PAGE provides a highly sophisticated analytical method for analyzing protein mixtures. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 16

The goal of two-dimensional electrophoresis is to separate and display all gene products present. It is the only method currently available which is capable of simultaneously separating thousands of proteins. The two dimensions of 2D PAGE are – -iso electric point -size Therefore, it has unique capability to capture detailed info about protein expression, isoforms, complex formation and post translational modification. e.g.- chemotherapy to cancer cells, occupational benzene exposure to blood cells. 3/14/2018 DEPT.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that produces spectra (singular spectrum) of the masses of the atoms or molecules comprising a sample of material. Mass spectrometry is an extremely valuable analytical technique in which the molecules in a test sample are converted into gaseous ions that are subsequently separated in a mass spectrometer according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) and detected . 3/14/2018 DEPT.

SPECTROPHOTOMETER 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 37
History Mass spectroscopy was first performed at the cambridge university, in 1912 by J.J Thomson (1856-1940) when he obtained the mass spectra of O2, N2, CO Mass spectroscopy took off in 1930s and advance technology resulted in the development of double focusing Mass spectrometers capable of accurate determination. The modern techniques of mass spectrometry were devised by Arthur Jeffrey Dempster and F.W. Aston in 1918 and 1919 respectively. In 1989, half of the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Hans Dehmelt and Wolfgang Paul for the development of the ion trap technique in the 1950s and 1960s. In 2002, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to John Bennett Fenn for the development of electrospray ionization (ESI ) 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 38

The mass spectrum is a plot of a relative abundance of the ions at each m/z ratio. In most cases , the nascent molecular ions of the analyte produce fragment ions by cleavage of the bond and the resulting fragmentation pattern constitute the mass spectrum . 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 41
PRINCIPLE AND INSTRUMENTATION 1.) IONISATION Ionization is a process of charging a molecule. The sample molecule must be charged in order to measure them using a mass spectrometer The atom is ionized by knocking one or more electrons off to give a positive ion. The particles in the sample (atoms or molecules) are bombarded with a stream of electrons to knock one or more electrons out of the sample particles to make positive ions. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 42
PRINCIPLE AND INSTRUMENTATION 2.) ACCELERATION The ions are accelerated so that they all have the same kinetic energy Ionisation chamber at +1000v The positive ions are repelled away from the positive Ionisation chamber and pass through 3 slits with voltage in the decreasing order. All the ions are accelerated into a freely focused beam . Ion beam 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 43
PRINCIPLE AND INSTRUMENTATION 3.) DEFLECTION The ions in the deflected by a magnetic field according to their masses Different ions are deflected by the magnetic field by different amounts. Amount of deflection depends upon : 1) The mass of the ion 2) The charge on the ion 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 44
PRINCIPLE AND INSTRUMENTATION 4.) DETECTION The beam of ions passing through the machine is detected electrically. Ions leaves space in metal by neutralizing it & the electrons in the wire shuffle along to fill it.

THE TWO MOST COMMON METHOD OF MASS SPECTROMRTRY FOR PROTEIN ANALYSIS 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 48
MALDI-TOF MS The protein sample is mixed with a chemical matrix that includes a light absorbing substance excitable by a laser. The laser pulse is used to excite the chemical matrix, creating a microplasma that transfers a energy to protein molecule substance excitable by a laser. Molecule in the sample ionizing them and ejecting them into the gas phase. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 49

Applications of mass spectrometry to study proteins Identifying unknown proteins Protein sequencing (peptides are sequenced by generating multiple sets of proteins Identification of chemical modification (PTM in proteins after synthesis) Identification of organisms (identifying bacteria by finger printing proteins) 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 52
Applications Mass spectrometry is also used to determine the isotopic composition of elements within a sample. Differences in mass among isotopes of an element are very small, and the less abundant isotopes of an element are typically very rare. Mass spectrometry is an important method for the characterization and sequencing of proteins. The two primary methods for ionization of whole proteins are ESI and MALDI. Mass spectrometry (MS), with its low sample requirement and high sensitivity, has been predominantly used in glycobiology for characterization and elucidation of glycan structures. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 53
Disadvantages This often fails to distinguish between optical and geometrical isomers and the positions of substituent in o-, m- and p- positions in an aromatic ring. Also , its scope is limited in identifying hydrocarbons that produce similar fragmented ions. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 54
Introduction Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is a soft ionization technique used in mass spectroscopy, allowing the analysis of biomolecules (biopolymers such as DNA, Proteins, peptide and sugars) and organic molecules (such as polymers, dendrimers and other macromolecules), which tend to be fragile and fragment when ionized by more conventional ionization methods . Method where a laser is used to generate ions of high molecular weight samples, such as proteins and polymers . 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 55
Mechanism The mechanism remains uncertain. It may involve absorption of light by the matrix. Transfer of this energy to the analyte - which then ionizes into the gas phase as a result of the relatively large amount of energy absorbed. To accelerate the resulting ions into a flight-tube in the mass spectrometer they are subjected to a high electrical field 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 56
MATRIX ASSISTED LASER DESORPTION IONIZATION-TIME OF FLIGHT It is three steps method. The sample is mixed with a suitable matrix & applied to a metal plate.

Matrix The analyte incorporation in to a suitable matrix is the first step of the MALDI process, and is an important feature of the MALDI method A typical sample preparation involves using 10 -6 M solution of the analyte mixed with 0.1 M solution of the matrix The solvents are then evaporated in a vacuum of the MS, and the matrix crystallizes with the analyte incorporated 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 60
According to Sigma Aldrich, the matrix must meet the following properties and requirements : Be able to embed and isolate analyte (e.g. by co-crystallization) Be soluble in solvents compatible with analyte Be vacuum stable Absorb the laser wavelength Cause co-desorption of the analyte upon laser irradiation Promote analyte ionization 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 61
MALDI-TOF Properties of a good Matrix They are of a fairly low molecular weight They are often acidic, therefore act as a proton source to encourage ionization of the analyte . Basic matrices have also been reported. They have a strong optical absorption in either the UV or IR range, so that they rapidly and efficiently absorb the laser irradiation. This efficiency is commonly associated with chemical structures incorporating several conjugated double bonds, as seen in the structure of cinnamic acid. They are functionalized with polar groups, allowing their use in aqueous solutions. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 62

Laser Numerous gas and solid state lasers have been developed for use in MALDI. Most MALDI devices use a pulsed UV laser N 2 source at 337 nm. Neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet ( Nd:YAG ) Emits at 355 nm and gives a longer pulse time IR lasers are also used The most common IR laser is the erbium doped-yttrium aluminum garnet ( Er:YAG ). Emits at 2.94 micrometer. It is “softer” than the UV, which is useful for certain biomolecules . 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 65
The MALDI method uses a pulse laser Laser fires in intervals Pulsed laser produces individual group of ions 1 st pulse=1 st group of ions 2 nd pulse= 2 nd group of ions, etc. Each group of ions generated are detected With continuous pulsing, the signal resolution increases 3/14/2018 DEPT.

Time Mass Detector The typical detector used with MALDI is the time of flight mass detector (TOF-MS) TOF is a method where the ions are accelerated by an electric field, resulting in ions of the same strength to have the same kinetic energy. The time it takes for each ion to traverse the flight tube and arrive at the detector is based on its mass-to-charge ratio; therefore the heavier ions have shorter arrival times compared to lighter ions. 3/14/2018 DEPT. OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY 68
MALDI-TOF Spectrometer used for MALDI The type of a mass spectrometer most widely used with MALDI is the TOF (time-of-flight mass spectrometer), mainly due to its large mass range.
