3.2.9.6. ZipTip<br />

Day Three: Extraction of Peptides for Analysis (cont.)<br />

The supernatant was carefully collected and comb<strong>in</strong>ed the extract <strong>in</strong><br />

the 0.5 ml plastic micro centrifuge tube.<br />

Step 22 was repeated<br />

Step 23 was repeated<br />

I was followed by carefully collection of supernatant and comb<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

of the extract <strong>in</strong> the 0.5 ml plastic micro centrifuge tube.<br />

The volume of the extract was reduced to less than 20 μL by<br />

evaporation <strong>in</strong> avacuum centrifuge at ambient temperature. The<br />

extract must not be allowed to dry completely.<br />

The volume of the digest was adjusted to ~20 μL with acetic acid.<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ally, the sample was ready for mass spectrometric analysis.<br />

ZipTip is a small C-18 colon used for remov<strong>in</strong>g salts and detergents to obta<strong>in</strong> a<br />

better mass signal. Protocol of ZipTip can be summarized <strong>in</strong> this manner:<br />

ZipTip<br />

1 Wett<strong>in</strong>g 10 μl %100 ACN (Acetonitrile) 10 times<br />

2 Equilibration 10 μl %0.1 TFA (Trifluoroacetic acid) 10 times<br />

3 Sample 10 μl Our Prote<strong>in</strong> Samples 10-15 times<br />

4 Wash<strong>in</strong>g 10 μl %0.1 TFA 5-6 times<br />

5 Elution 5 μl %0.1 TFA/%50 ACN 2-3 times<br />

3.2.9.7. Prote<strong>in</strong> Identification and Mass Spectrometric Analysis<br />

After <strong>in</strong>-gel digestion procedure, two samples (Bortezomib and Control group)<br />

were identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF Mass Spectrometry. The sequence of the<br />

diffentially expressed prote<strong>in</strong> spots were found by us<strong>in</strong>g NCBInr (National Center for<br />

Biotechnology Information, Bethesda, USA) and SwissProt prote<strong>in</strong> databases.<br />

For mass analysis, α-cyano-4-hydroxyc<strong>in</strong>namic acid (HCCA) was used as a<br />

matrix. Its preparationwas described <strong>in</strong> Appendix B.<br />
