Recombinant yPDI proteins(20 μg/mL) were reduced with or without 100 μM TCEP in 250 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 6.5, at 37 °C for 30 min. Samples were treated with 100 μM sodium disulfide (Na
2S
2) at 37 °C for 15 min and were then alkylated with 1 mM iodoacetamide (37 °C, 30 min). Samples were digested with Trypsin Gold (2 μg/mL) in 0.025 % ProteaseMAX Surfactant (37 °C, 3 h) and subjected to LC-ESI-quadrupole time-of-flight MS/MS (LC-ESI-Q-TOF MS/MS). LC-ESI-Q-TOF MS/MS analysis was performed by using
6545XT AdvanceBio LC/Q-TOF (Agilent Technologies) connected to the Agilent HPLC-Chip system. Modification analysis of the active center cysteine was performed by means of Agilent
MassHunter BioConfirm software. The SS- and SSS-binding levels of C61 and C64 within the LATDSFNEYIQSHDLVLAEFFAPWCGHCK peptide were detected by observations at
m/z 835.6369 and 843.8814, respectively.
