Percentage of carbamylated peptides from serum proteins digested in different buffers with urea. Human serum proteins were denatured, reduced, alkylated, and digested in different buffers (0.1M PB, 0.2M Tris-HCl, 0.2M NH4HCO3 and 1M NH4HCO3) with urea. The tryptic peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and spectra were assigned by database search. The percentage of peptides assigned to different forms of carbamylated peptides was determined based on spectral counts.
