PTMScan® Phospho-Enrichment IMAC Fe-NTA Magnetic Beads #20432
Product Information
Product Usage Information
Cells are lysed in a urea-containing buffer, cellular proteins are digested by proteases, and the resulting peptides are purified by reversed-phase solid-phase extraction. Phospho-peptides are then subjected to enrichment using PTMScan® IMAC Beads. Unbound peptides are removed through washing, and the captured phospho-peptides are eluted with basic pH buffer. Reversed-phase purification is performed on microtips to desalt and separate peptides from impurities prior to concentrating the enriched peptides for LC-MS/MS analysis. A detailed protocol is included with the beads.

Product Description
Background
Immobilized metal affinity chromatography, or IMAC, has been widely used to enrich proteins and peptides from biological samples by binding to clusters of negative charge. Divalent transition metal ions Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ are often used to purify proteins rich in poly-Histidine or Cysteine as well as proteins with metal affinity. Trivalent metal ions, Fe3+, Ga3+, Al3+, as well as Ti4+ and Zr4+ are commonly used for phosphopeptide enrichment for proteomic studies (1). Iminodiacetic acid (IDA) or nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) are used for chelating the metal ions to agarose-coated beads. In comparison studies, NTA has been shown to perform better than IDA at selectively capturing and identifying more phosphopeptides. Ga3+ and Fe3+ are comparable with respect to the number of phosphopeptides identified (2). Compared to metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC) using TiO2, Fe3+ IMAC performed marginally better with TiO2 having a preference for acidic phosphopeptides (pI > 4) relative to Fe3+ which preferred less acidic peptides (pI < 4) (3). The PTMScan® Fe-NTA Magnetic Beads offer an efficient tool for phosphopeptide enrichment with little or no bias for phospho-residue context. They can be employed independently or in conjunction with immunoaffinity based enrichment to complement any PhosphoScan® LC-MS/MS proteomic study.
