massprep enolase dIgest wIth phosphopeptIdes mIx
I. IntroduCtIon
As a tool for screening sample preparation and sample enrichment
methods for phosphopeptides, Waters offers the MassPREP™ Enolase
Digest with Phosphopeptides Mix. Commonly used phosphorylated
samples are often beta-casein digests or standards which contain
only two phosphopeptides, both modified at serine. The four modified
enolase peptides in the mixture are either singly phosphorylated at
serine, threonine, or tyrosine or doubly phosphorylated at serine.
The enolase digest and phosphopeptides mixture is provided as a
lyophilized solid in a glass vial. T he vials are vacuum-sealed in foil
pouches to ensure protection from light and air.

MassPREP Enolase Digest with Phosphopeptides Mix 1

[ Care and Use ManUal ]
II. reCommended usage
Each vial contains 1 nmol of digested enolase mixed with 1 nmol
each of four synthetic phosphopeptides (T18 [1P, tyrosine], T19 [1P,
serine], T43 [1P, threonine], T43 [2P, serine]). This standard was
prepared by purifying bulk synthetic peptide from GenScript Corp.
(Piscataway, NJ) and mixing with Waters MassPREP Digestion Stan-
dard - Enolase. Using this mixture, the user can test phosphopeptide
detection before and after treatment or enrichment procedures
without conducting a lengthy digestion procedure. T he standard is
intended for use in optimizing phosphopeptide detection in liquid
chromatography (UV or MS detection) and matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization (MALDI).

III. sample preparatIon
The following methods are provided as a general guideline. For opti-
mum performance, use of the highest purity commercially available
solvents is recommended (HPLC grade or better).
Procedure
1. Add 100 µL of water or other preferred solvent to the glass vial con-
taining the lyophilized phosphopeptide standard to make a 10 pmol/uL
solution of each phosphopeptide.
2. Vortex the vial for about 30 seconds to ensure that the solid is com-
pletely dissolved.

3. Make the desired number of dilutions in the preferred solvent.
4. Prior to MALDI, use a standard sample (peptide mix or protein digest)
2+
to adjust instrument settings for optimum resolution and sensitivity for
the mass range between m/z 800 and 2000.
a. For MALDI, make a solution of 20 mg/mL 2,5-DHB matrix in 4:1
(v/v) ACN:water with 0.1% TFA.
b. Apply 1 µL (or less) of the phosphopeptide standard (~ 1 pmol/
uL) onto a clean MALDI target. Add an equal volume of matrix
solution to the sample on the target plate. Dry at room tempera-
ture before submitting target for MALDI analysis.
5. Prior to HPLC, use enolase digest to adjust instrument settings for
optimum resolution and sensitivity. Adjust parameters so that peak
shape and detector sensitivity are optimized.
a. For HPLC, transfer desired amount of solution to appropriate
sample vial and subject to LC-UV and/or LC-MS analysis.
i. For separations on ~2 mm diameter columns, the recom-
mended injection volume is 15 µL or more of a solution 10
pmol/µL or more.

IV. example speCt ra
The following MALDI TOF MS spectra of MassPREP Enolase Digest
with Phosphopeptides Mix (10 pmol/sample well) mixed with
MassPREP MALDI Matrix - DHB (20 mg/mL) was processed by
baseline subtraction. Data in positive reflectron mode was obtained
on a Waters MALDI micro MX (sum of 200 laser shots). Where
indicated, some samples were analyzed using 1% phosphoric acid
(PA) in the solvent mixture used to solubilize the DHB matrix. In
addition, a number of commercially available phosphopeptide
enrichment strategies can be used to selectively improve the signal
intensity of the phosphopeptides.

Figure 3: Closer view of T18 1P and T19 1P
The following LC-ESI-MS (TIC) and LC-UV (at 210 nm) spectra
were obtained using a Waters Alliance
®
2795 coupled to a Waters
ZQ 4000 mass spectrometer. A 20 pmol/μL solution in 0.02%
trifluoroacetic acid in water was prepared and 30 μL was injected on
a Waters BioSuite™ C
3 μm, PA – A, 2.1 x 150 mm column. Data
18
from the Waters MassPREP Phosphopeptide Standard – Enolase is
included in the following figures in order to more clearly identify the
phosphopeptide LC peaks.

V. storage and staBIlItY
It is recommended that the MassPREP Enolase Digest with
Phosphopeptides Mix vial remain in the foil pouch (in the dark)
at room temperature until use. Once reconstituted in appropriate
solvents, the solution can be used for one week when stored in
the dark at 4 °C. For longer term storage, the solution should be
aliquoted into microcentrifuge tubes and stored at -20 °C.
