Differences in Protein Capture by SP3 and SP4 Demonstrate Mechanistic Insights of Proteomics Cleanup Techniques.

ABSTRACT: The goal of proteomics experiments is to identify proteins to observe changes in cellular processes and diseases. One challenge in proteomics is the removal of contaminants following protein extraction, which can limit protein identifications. Single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3) is a cleanup technique in which proteins are captured on carboxylate-modified particles through a proposed hydrophilic-interaction-liquid-chromatography (HILIC)-like mechanism. Recent results have suggested that proteins are captured in SP3 due to a protein-aggregation mechanism. Solvent precipitation, single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP4) is a newer cleanup technique that employs protein aggregation to capture proteins without modified particles. We hypothesize that differ
