Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) Look Beneath the Surface Innovation with Integrity

Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) - 2

Bruker Daltonics – Leader in ETD Technology amaZon – Featuring ETD Since its commercial introduction in 2005, Bruker has been the leader in highly efficient and sensitive electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and proton transfer reaction (PTR) technology. We are constantly developing cutting-edge solutions for in-depth characterization of proteins and top-down sequencing analysis using our ETD technology. Using smart combinations of CID and ETD our customers obtain the greatest possible depth of information. Both complementary and confirmatory identification of post-translational...

Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) - 5

A Must for Protein Characterization The regulatory function of many proteins is controlled by reversible PTMs such as PTM analysis includes identification and unambiguous site localization. ETD is the method of choice for site-profiling of biologically important PTMs. In modification on the peptide backbone and therefore enables a definite assignment of the modification site. CID spectra generate significant neutral loss of sulfonation and phosphorylation abundance peptide fragments. Because it is a very labile PTM, sulfonation is especially difficult to analyze using CID. However, ETD...

ETD-Based Mapping of Disulfide Bonds Disulfide linkage of cysteine residues is an important PTM with regards to protein folding, structure, and biological function. Because it favors the cleavage of S-S bonds, ETD is key to disulfide linkage analysis. After cleavage, the sequences Preferred disulfide bond cleavage by ETD The figure on the right shows MS and ETD MS2 spectra of a pair of interchain disulfide-bound peptides from a mono- clonal lgG2. Precursor ions with charge states up to 4+ are generated with the CaptiveSpray nanoBooster source. result from the cleavage of the disulfide bond...
