The 1D-PAGE/LC-ESI MS/MS approach is widely used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of proteomes ranging from low
to high complexity. As the first dimension of separation is based on SDS-PAGE, this method is compatible with the analysis
of all classes of proteins including hydrophobic membrane proteins and proteins with extreme pI. 1D PAGE has the possibility
to reduce protein complexity by cutting the sample gel lane into a large number of slices. The second dimension of separation
is reverse phase C18 chromatography, which is coupled online to an ESI Linear Ion Trap Orbitrap MS. In this configuration
the MS spectra are taken at high resolution in the Orbitrap, which improves the confidence of peptide identification. In parallel,
the MS/MS spectra are generated by the Linear Ion Trap with high sensitivity, which allows the interrogation of larger numbers
of peptides and thus yields improved protein identification in a given period of time.
