Column length is 50 mm; 1 µL injection of the six-protein digest; aqueous acetonitrile gradient from 1-26% (ACN) at pH ) 8; detection at 214<br />

and with a 50 mm × 1 mm monolithic ProSwift RP-10R column<br />

(Dionex).<br />

Preparation of Tryptic Digests. The six-protein mixture<br />

prepared from transferrin, bovine serum albumin, �-galactosidase,<br />

alcohol dehydrogenase, lysozyme, cytochrome, and E. coli proteins<br />

were digested according the following procedure. Proteins<br />

were reduced for1hat60°C in the presence of 7 mol/L guanidine<br />

and 1 mol/L dithiothreitol, followed by alkylation for 30 min at<br />

room temperature by adding 1 mol/L iodoacetic acid. To consume<br />

any unreacted iodoacetic acid, 1 mol/L dithiothreitol was added.<br />

The reduced and alkylated proteins were then dialyzed against<br />

50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (pH 8) for 24 h in dialysis sacks<br />

(Sigma) with a cutoff 0.997).<br />

Therefore, the relationship 2 wb ) a + b( 2 tG) can be established,<br />

which holds at a constant length. After fitting, the a and b<br />

parameters were used to predict the peak capacity as a function<br />
