标题：Designed synthesis of a “One for Two” hydrophilic magnetic amino-functionalized metal-organic framework for highly efficient enrichment of glycopeptides and phosphopeptides
摘要：Highly efficient enrichment of glycopeptides or phosphopeptides from complex biological samples is indispensable for high-throughput mass spectrometry analysis. In this study, for the first time, a "one for two" hydrophilic magnetic amino-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) was designed and synthesized for selective enrichment of both glycopeptides and phosphopeptides. A well-known solvo-thermal reaction was adopted to prepare a magnetic core Fe3O4, followed by self- polymerization of dopamine, creating a polydopamine (PDA) onto Fe3O4. Thanks to the hydroxyl and amino group of PDA, Zr(3+) was easily adhered to the surface, inducing the following one-pot MOF reaction with amino ligand. After characterization of the as-prepared MOFs (denoted as Fe3O4@PDA@UiO-66-NH2), its ultrahigh surface area, excellent hydrophilicity and strong magnetic responsiveness were highly confirmed. Based on hydrophilic interaction, it was applied to glycopeptide enrichment, while based on strong binding between Zr and phosphopeptides, it was applied to phosphopeptide enrichment, both exhibiting excellent performance in standard proteins and human serum with high sensitivity and selectivity. These results showed the as-prepared MOFs had great potential in proteomics research.
