Comparison of the digestion of a synthetic peptide substrate analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS and HPLC. A, peptide 7 was digested with Arg-528/Asp-575 at the indicated times in parallel experiments, and the digestion mixtures were analyzed by MALDI-TOF and HPLC, respectively. Conventions are as in Fig. 2. The left graph shows the combined digestion of peptide species longer than the natural ligand, excluding peptide 7 itself. Digestion was calculated as 100% − the combined yield of the corresponding species. The middle and right graphs show the % yield of the natural ligand and of shorter peptide(s), respectively. B, same substrate was digested with Lys-528/Asn-575 and analyzed as in A. The data in each panel are from a single experiment, but it was carried out separately for samples to be analyzed by either MS or HPLC.
