[ Care and Use Manual ] MassPREP ADH Digestion Standard IV. Reconstitution of MassPREP protein digestion standard for MALDI MS I.Introduction The MassPREP™ protein digestion standard was prepared by digesting yeast 1. alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, SwissProt P00330) with sequencing grade Dissolve protein digestion standard in 1.0 mL of 0.1% trifluoroacetic Trypsin. The sample was reduced and alkylated (iodoacetamide) prior to diges- acid/10 % acetonitrile (v/v). The concentration of peptides in this stock tion.
