For this, peptides resulting from trypsin digestion are injected onto a reverse-phase liquid chromatography column (C18), which retains peptides based on hydrophobicity. A gradient of acetonitrile is then applied to gradually elute the peptides throughout the analysis duration (5 to 120 minutes).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The output of the column is directly connected to the electrospray source of the mass spectrometer, where peptides are ionized. The mass-to-charge ratio (m\/z) of the ions thus obtained is then measured by the mass analyzers of the instrument to obtain a so-called &#8220;MS1 spectrum.&#8221; It is also possible to fragment the ionized peptides in the collision cell of the instrument to obtain fragmentation spectra called &#8220;MS2 spectra.&#8221; The mass spectrometer acquires thousands of MS1 spectra and tens of thousands of MS2 spectra during the analysis duration.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All the MS1 and MS2 spectra obtained at the end of the analysis are then processed by software (e.g., Mascot) to compare the experimental masses they contain to theoretical masses calculated from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">publicly available sequence databases<\/a>.
