Abstract

High-performance separation of proteoforms plays an important role in top-down proteomic ananlysis due to high complexity of the proteome. To this end, the functionalized ethylene-bridged hybrid monolithic materials have been developed for reversed-phase liquid chromatographic separation of proteoforms followed by online combination with high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) for top-down proteomic analysis. Such monoliths have advantages of homogenously distributed functional groups in the framework, good chemical stability, and high permeability and, thus, show high resolution, good reproducibility, and low backpressure for proteoform separation. This chapter describes in detail the preparation of such monoliths and online combination with high-resolution MS for proteoform separation and identification.
