Leitner A 2016 The comprehensive study of the phosphoproteome is heavily dependent on appropriate enrichment strategies that are most often, but not exclusively, carried out on the peptide level. In this chapter, I give an overview of the most widely used techniques. In addition to dedicated antibodies, phosphopeptides are enriched by their selective interaction with metals in the form of chelated metal ions or metal oxides. The negative charge of the phosphate group is also exploited in a variety of chromatographic fractionation methods that include different types of ion exchange chromatography, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), and electrostatic repulsion HILIC (ERLIC) chromatography. Selected examples from the literature will demonstrate how a combination of these techniques with current high-performance mass spectrometry enables the identification of thousands of phosphorylation sites from various sample types. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/183864 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1007/978-1-4939-3049-4_7 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/26584921 Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.). - 2016 Fractionation Mass spectrometry Phosphopeptide enrich ment Sample preparation Animals Chromatography, Affinity Chromatography, Ion Exchange Humans Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions Peptide Mapping Phosphoproteins Phosphorylation Protein Processing, Post-Translational Proteomics Static Electricity Tandem Mass Spectrometry Workflow Enrichment Strategies in Phosphoproteomics. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
