Mass spectrometry methods have been used to characterize two proteins: an opioid peptide-containing protein extracted from bovine pituitary, and bovine α-lactalbumin (BAL). A protein that contains β-endorphin was found in bovine pituitary, and that protein was characterized with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS), gel permeation chromatography, reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), radioimmunoassay, trypsinolysis, and liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS).BAL is a protein that was used as a model to develop analytical methods to study opioid peptide-containing proteins. Commercial BAL was purified by RP-HPLC, and its molecular weight (M.W.) was determined by ESIMS. The shift in mass observed following dithiothreitol (DTT) reduction estimated the number of disulfide bonds.For all of the data obtained for BAL with or without RP-HPLC separation, ESIMS determined the M.W. of the peptides produced by trypsin treatment of BAL, and LSIMS selected a precursor ion, the protonated molecule ion [M + H](+), of a tryptic peptide, which was analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. Following DTT reduction, ESIMS and LSIMS detected each peptide that contained disulfide bonds in that mixture of tryptic peptides.
