Protein extraction from diatom for MALDI analysis
Diatoms is one of the main group of algae that can pro-duce natural silica particles from cell wall, which can be used as a natural sorbent. Biosilica is obtained by remov-ing the organic part from diatom cells. The biosilica parti-cle is strictly defined (e.g. by structure of pores) and pos-sess active functional groups such as carboxyl, amine. For further analysis of organic deposit of biosilica, a MAL-DI analysis was carried out. This method is widely used for a fast peptides/protein analysis as well as microorgan-ism identification.
Aim of the study: Introduction:
Investigation of protein extracted from natural silica col-
lected from diatoms using matrix-assisted laser desorp-
tion/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-
TOF-MS) method, alongside with the investigation on
which extraction reagent was the most suitable for this
analysis.
Results and discussion :
Conclusions:
For protein extraction, five different combination of solutions were used: 0,1% ACN, 0,1% TFA, TA30, 5% TFA and 0,1% TFA/ACN solutions were used. For MALDI analysis silica extractions were spotted on MALDI target and analysed with Bruker Ultraflex II TOF/TOF MALDI mass. The analysis of peptides from biosilica showed, that almost all peaks con-tained modified peptides residue or additions to matrix molecules. TA30 extraction spectra has been chosen as it had the most peaks throughout all. Biggest peaks containing amino acids are showed in table.

The results showed that the best solution for extraction
was TA30 as it had the most recognized peaks. Alt-
hough further research has to be carried out for reliabil-
ity of results.
