Intact protein analysis by mass spectrometry is of great interest for the characterisation of biotechnological products. Exact mass measurement in combination with isotopic resolution allows the detection of modifications leading to small mass changes like deamidation or reduction of disulfide bonds directly on the level of the intact protein. Here, a concept is presented based on time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A bench top TOF MS and a high resolution TOP MS were used to resolve the isotopes of intact recombinant human growth hormone and intact human erythropoietin, respectively. Thus, these 22 and around 30 kDa large proteins can be characterised sensitively in great detail and along with capillary electrophoretic separation unambiguous identification of minor protein modifications like deamidation is possible.
