Eluting peptides were collected in 15 s fractions. One hundred and twenty fractions covering the peptide-rich region were re-combined to give 10 samples for analysis. To preserve orthogonality, fractions were combined across the gradient, with each of the concatenated samples comprising 12 fractions which were 10 fractions apart. Re-combined fractions were dried down using an Eppendorf Concentrator (Eppendorf, UK) and resuspended in 15 µl MS solvent (3% MeCN, 0.1% TFA)

The peptide was cleaved by treatment with 90:5:2.5:2.5 (TFA:phenol:TIS:water) for 2 hrs at room temperature followed by precipitation in cold diethyl ether. Crude peptide was purified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Thermo Scientific UltiMate 3000 with Agilent Technologies C18 column, ACN in water with 0.01% TFA) and lyophilized (Supporting Information, Figure S1). Purified product was analyzed via matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to verify peptide composition (Supporting Information, Figure S2). Peptides were dissolved in PBS and absorbance measurements at 205 nm and 280 nm (Thermo Scientific Nanodrop One) were taken to calculate the stock concentrations.39 (link) MALDI-TOF MS: KCGPQGIAGQCK [M+H] = 1188.513 (expected), 1189 (found); CGRGDSGC [M+H] = 753.242 (expected), 752.9 (found).

For THP-1 experiments, a total of 30 combined fractions were generated then dried using an Eppendorf Concentrator for LC-MSMS using a NanoAcquity uPLC (Waters, MA, USA) coupled to an LTQ-OrbiTrap XL (Thermo, FL, UA). MS data was acquired between 300 and 2000 m/z at 60,000 fwhm with CID spectra acquired in the LTQ with MSMS switching operating in a top 6 DDA fashion. Fractionated HFF experiments were re-combined to give either 40 or 10 fractions. The 40 fraction experiments were acquired using the OrbiTrap XL as above. The 10 fraction experiments were acquired using a Q Exactive (Thermo) coupled to a RSLC nano3000 (Thermo) with MS data acquired between 400 and 1650 m/z at 75,000 fwhm with HCD fragment spectra acquired in a top 10 DDA fashion.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
