Mass spectrometry analysis of N-TIMP2-HqAla variants. (A) MALDI-TOF analysis of N-TIMP2-S2HqAla (expected mass: 15,010 Da), N-TIMP2-Y36HqAla (expected mass: 14,934 Da), N-TIMP2-S69HqAla (expected mass: 15,010 Da) and N-TIMP2-A70HqAla (expected mass: 15,026 Da), confirming the correct mass differences of ~ 127, ~ 51, ~ 127 and ~ 143 Da, respectively, between each variant and N-TIMP2 (upper row, expected mass: 14,883 Da). In all cases, the differences between expected (theoretical) and observed values were less than 0.1%. (B) LC–MS/MS analysis of N-TIMP2-S2HqAla, N-TIMP2-S69HqAla and N-TIMP2-A70HqAla confirming the incorporation of HqAla at the particular position in each clone.
