Abstract
The feasibility of monitoring the peptic and tryptic digestion of peptides and proteins with capillary electrophoresis using contactless conductivity detection was investigated. The peptide minigastrin I and the proteins cytochrome c from bovine heart, human serum albumin (HSA), myoglobin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were digested off-line with pepsin, and the resulting peptide and amino acid fragments were successfully separated and detected by conductivity measurement. Cytochrome c and myoglobin were also subjected to off-line cleavage with trypsin. On-line digestion using the electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) approach was demonstrated with cytochrome c and apomyoglobin using trypsin.
