“…The trypsin digests were analyzed on an LC-HRMS/MS instrument based on a previously published method. 21 An Ultimate 3000 RSLCnano system (Thermo Scientific Dionex Softron GmbH, Germany) coupled to an Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Q Exactive plus, Thermo Scientific, Bremen, Germany) was used. A volume of 10 μL was injected onto an Acclaim PepMap 100 C18 μ-precolumn (5 mm × 300 μm I.D., 5 μm, 100 Å, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and subsequently separated on an Acclaim PepMap C18 Analytical column (250 mm × 75 μm I.D., 2 μm, 100 Å, Thermo Fisher Scientific).…”
