What is the objective of the analysis?
One or more of these:• Maximise the protein ID• Boost the sequence coverage• Phosphorylation• De novo sequencing• Quantitation

Data Acquisition Strategies
Parallel mode• Survey MS in Orbitrap• MS/MS in LTQ
For highest protein ID and coverage
assuming very complex mixtures
Serial mode• Survey MS in Orbitrap • MS/MS in Orbitrap
For de novo sequencing, PTM discovery

Who Is Doing It This Way?
Matthias Mann (MPI Martinsreid)• Lock mass ‘trick’• Divide the mass range is sections
Roman Zubarev (Uppsala)
Olsen et al., MPC 2005, 4, 2010-2021
42
Want ppb Mass Accuracy?
Use Lock mass in the method
Olsen et al., MPC 2005, 4, 2010-2021
43
Lock Mass - Caveats
Lock mass should be present in your analysis all the time • Can be a background ion• Or spike in a lock mass solution via a Y-connector (P-773,17 nL
swept volume) with fused silica tubing attached to a syringe pump Use multiple lock masses For calibrating MS/MS spectra the lock mass closest to your
parent mass of interest is taken (good for peptides) Once you fill in the lock mass dialog box, you can export it, save
it, and import it to other methods

NL_MS3_AccMass
MS in Orbi + MS/MS in Orbi + MS3 in LTQ
45
Strategy for Phosphopeptides
Enrichment!!! Use prominent neutral loss of phosphate in MS2 to trigger MS3 Accurately defined neutral loss
• Use Orbi for MS and MS2• Cuts down on false positive MS3 triggers
MS3 is highly informative for peptide sequence and PTM position Data review is fast and easy – search MS3 scans only Thorough search (MS2 + MS3) provides high confidence ID

NL_MSA
MS in Orbi + MSA in LTQ

Multistage Activation - MSA
To improve the signal, it is advantageous to lump together the fragments from both MS2 and MS3 scans and search them as one ‘strong’ scan

MSA - Conclusions
MSA enables to activate ions from MS2 that show neutral loss from parent, while still keeping the rest of the MS2 fragments in the trap. The MS3 fragments from activated NL candidates are ‘added’ to the rest of the MS2 fragments
Data can be processed by SEQUEST/BioWorks or Mascot
