TABLE 1.

MALDI-TOF analysis of NEM-alkylated, Cys-containing peptides from the bovine and rat complex I 75-kDa subunit Experimental masses were obtained from isolated and denatured complex I (2 mg/ml) treated with DTT (10 mm) and SDS (1%) for 10 min at 37°C; the DTT was removed; and the samples were treated with NEM. Bovine or rat mitochondria (1 mg of protein/ml) were incubated with diamide (0.5 mm) for 5 min at 37°C. After incubation all samples were alkylated with NEM (25–50 mm) and separated by electrophoresis (one-dimensional SDS-PAGE for isolated complex I samples and two-dimensional BN/SDS-PAGE for mitochondria) before in-gel digestion and MALDI-TOF.
