In the SMOAC protocol (https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/learning-at-the-bench/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2024/10/High-SelectTM-SMOAC-Protocol.pdf), can I enrich with High-Select Fe-NTA kit first?
No. It is important to enrich with the TiO2 kit (Cat. No. A32993) first. Afterwards, the flow-through and wash fractions from this enrichment can be processed with the Fe-NTA kit (Cat. No. A32992). If this order is reversed (that is, Fe-NTA before TiO2), there will be 2 consequences as follows:
1. There will not be any significant additional recovery of peptides (maybe just a few more peptides).
2. There will be no enrichment for the multiple phosphorylated peptides, so those would be lost.
