A method for obtaining protein molecular masses with an accuracy of approximately .+-. 0.01% by matrix-assisted laser desorption using an internal calibrant is described. The technique allows accurate mass determinations of protein sample sizes as small as 1 pmol. High concentrations of organic and inorganic contaminants (e.g. 1 M urea) do not strongly affect either the signal intensity or the mass assignment. The ability to assign an accurate molecular mass to a protein is contingent on the observation of clearly resolved protonated molecule ions in the mass spectrum.
