Capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) is a high-resolution separation technique for the analysis of peptides and protein digests. When coupled to ion trap-mass spectrometry (CIEF-MS) the unique separation mechanism is combined with a highly efficient detection system. In an earlier report, we described aspects of separation and interfacing in connection to the analysis of a digest of set of standard proteins. Now, we report on different aspects of the process of protein identification. Sequest software parameters were optimized by using a standard protein digest. These settings were used for the analysis of periplasmic proteins from Escherichia coh. Since in CIEF peptides are focused according to their pI values, the mobilization time of a particular peptide is dependent on its pI value. Based on this relation, the identification of some peptides was facilitated. Furthermore, the Sequest settings that were used could be evaluated. In total, 159 proteins were identified in a single run. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
