Figure 2: Log2(Ratio) distribution of quantified proteins by the online chemical isotope labeling system (Analytical Chemistry 2010, 82 (7), 3007-3015). 15 μg tryptic digest of normal human liver protein was labeled by light or heavy isotope labeling reagents, respectively, by the automated online labeling system, and then analyzed by online multidimensional nanoLC-MS/MS. The data from our previous work (Analytical Chemistry 2010, 82 (7), 3007-3015) were re-analyzed by Maxquant as described in experimental section. Black: one time quantification analysis; Red: replicate quantification analyses (CVs<50%). Figure 3: Ratio distribution of quantified proteins by online enzyme digestion for protein sample extracted from 5×104 Hela cells (light and heavy isotope labeled cells mixed with the ratio 5:1). Two replicate quantification analyses were performed and the CVs were controlled less than 50%. One dimensional nanoLC-MS/MS analysis with 150 min separation gradient (0-35% ACN) was applied, and LTQ-OrbiTrap XL was used for detection.
