Zeolite nanoparticles with immobilized metal ions: isolation and MALDI-TOF-MS/MS identification of phosphopeptides

Metal-ion-immobilized zeolite nanoparticles have been applied for the first time to isolate phosphopeptides from tryptic beta-casein digest; the phosphopeptides enriched on the modified zeolite nanoparticles could be effectively identified by MALDI-TOF-MS/MS.
