Abstract: Objective Analyze the characteristics of ultrasound-assisted digestion for in-solution protein sample. Methods Bovine serum albumin was in-solution digested by ultrasound-assisted digestion and overnight digestion methods, and the digested peptides were analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. After database searching the identified peptides from two methods were analyzed. Results The digestion time of ultrasound-assisted method can be shortened to 10 minutes, but the peptide recovery was 8% lower than overnight method. For peptide identifications the MASCOT score, protein coverage and peptide number of ultrasound-assisted method was about 1 fold, 10% and 40% higher than that of overnight method, but the miscleavage peptide rate was 22% higher. Analysis of the peptides only identified from ultrasound-assisted method showed that molecular weight distribution was 2~3ku and most of them was miscleavage peptides. Conclusions Ultrasound-assisted digestion method can significantly shorten protein digestion time and obtain better peptide identifications, but the sample loss will be increased and part of the peptides were not completely digested.
