Data analysis

Thermo Scientific Proteome Discoverer software simplifies a wide range of proteomics workflows and is recommended for quantitative analysis of TMT-based data. The software has improved data processing capabilities for handling large data sets and is enabled with study management tools.

Unless stated otherwise, Proteome Discoverer software would be recommended for each of the workflows below.
The below workflows are not relevant for the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap ID-X Tribrid Mass Spectrometer and Orbitrap IQ-X Tribrid MS, as these instruments are dedicated to small molecule analysis.

Amine-reactive Thermo Scientific TMT10plex Isobaric Mass Tag Labeling Reagent Set plus TMT11-131C increases sample multiplexing from 10-plex to 11-plex, enabling even greater throughput for protein identification and quantitative analysis by tandem mass spectrometry (MS).

Sample labeling for TMT-based quantitation

Protein extracts isolated from cells or tissues are reduced, alkylated and digested overnight. Samples are labeled with the TMT Reagents and then mixed before sample fractionation and clean-up. Labeled samples are analyzed by high resolution Orbitrap LC-MS/MS to identify peptides and quantify reporter ion relative abundance. See the
 User's Guide for a step-by-step TMT labeling procedure for intact proteins as well as peptides including preparing whole cell protein extracts, protein digestion, and peptide labeling.

What is synchronous precursor selection?

The SPS method begins with selection of the parent ion in the MS scan, followed by its isolation in the quadrupole and fragmentation by collisionally induced dissociation (CID) in the ion trap. Following fragmentation, SPS enables simultaneous isolation of up to 20 MS2 fragment ions. A select group of MS2 fragment ions are then transferred back into the ion routing multipole (IRM) where they undergo higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) fragmentation, with the MS3 fragments then detected in the Orbitrap analyzer.

The use of SPS dramatically increases the reporter ion signal intensity and improves the ratio accuracy, due to improved counting statistics, leading to a significant increase in the number of quantified peptides.
