Abstract
Protein identification in bottom-up proteomics requires disentangling isomers of proteolytic peptides, a major class of which are sequence inversions. Their separation using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has been limited to isomeric pairs. Here we demonstrate baseline separation of all seven 8-mer tryptic peptide isomers using differential IMS. Evaluation of peak capacity implies that even larger libraries should be resolved for heavier peptides with higher charge states.
