Identification <strong>of</strong> pI markers - First, the pI markers were extracted from each excised gel<br />

piece and identified from extracts by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. The experiments confirmed that<br />

pI markers are easily and unambiguously identifiable <strong>in</strong> extracts from excised gel pieces after<br />

IEF.<br />

Fig.3: IEF gel <strong>of</strong> pI markers and prote<strong>in</strong>s scanned immediately after focus<strong>in</strong>g (A); standards<br />

(B) and beta-amylase extract (C) after Coomassie sta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. The positions <strong>of</strong> electrodes are<br />

marked with E. Letters at right show positions where the prote<strong>in</strong>s were identified (see Tab. 1).<br />

Identification <strong>of</strong> prote<strong>in</strong>s - First experiment was provided with standard prote<strong>in</strong>s (cytochrome<br />

c, myoglob<strong>in</strong> and album<strong>in</strong>). After extraction <strong>of</strong> pI markers from particular gel pieces, the<br />

prote<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> the same gel pieces were treated by enzyme digestion and identified by MS. These<br />

prote<strong>in</strong>s were identified <strong>in</strong> positions accord<strong>in</strong>g to their real pI values and validated our<br />

approach.<br />

Then, the extract from barley malt was used as a model mixture <strong>of</strong> glycated prote<strong>in</strong>s. The<br />

separated prote<strong>in</strong> mixture after the referential Coomassie sta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is shown <strong>in</strong> Fig. 3C. Table 1<br />

shows the prote<strong>in</strong>s identified <strong>in</strong> the gel pieces from which the pI markers were extracted and<br />

identified. N<strong>in</strong>e prote<strong>in</strong>s were identified <strong>in</strong> eight excised gel pieces <strong>of</strong> twelve ones excised<br />

accord<strong>in</strong>g to the locations <strong>of</strong> the pI markers used. Some prote<strong>in</strong>s were found <strong>in</strong> two different<br />

gel pieces. Dur<strong>in</strong>g malt<strong>in</strong>g process the barley prote<strong>in</strong>s are gradually cleaved and modified.<br />

This is the reason why some prote<strong>in</strong>s may be found <strong>in</strong> several gel pieces with different pI<br />

values. The differences observed for some other prote<strong>in</strong>s might be caused either by<br />

posttranslational modifications or by discrepancies between experimental and theoretically<br />

calculated pI values. For more detailed studies, the gels can be excised <strong>in</strong>to a higher number<br />

<strong>of</strong> narrower pieces and the pI values <strong>of</strong> prote<strong>in</strong>s identified between the locations <strong>of</strong> pI markers<br />

can be <strong>in</strong>terpolated or a higher number <strong>of</strong> pI markers can be used. The identifications <strong>of</strong> the<br />

prote<strong>in</strong>s were confirmed from the sta<strong>in</strong>ed gel by the same proteomic protocol.<br />
