In Gel Digestion

1.	200 µl DDW was placed in 500 µl tube. 2.	Separate the gels from gel plate using 1ml blue tip. Slice the gels pieces, vortex 5 minutes and remove water. 3.	Add 100 µl 25mM ABC/50% ACN, then vortex 10 minutes, spin down and remove the solution. Repeat 4-5 times. 4. Placed in the speed vacuum 5. Adding 50 µl mM DTT/25 mM and then heating in wise bath at 560C for 45 minutes, then spin down and remove the solution. 6. Adding 50 µl mM IAA/0.1 % ABC and placed in dark place for 30 minutes. 7. No Spin down, remove the solution 8. Adding 50 µl 0.1M ABC, vortexing for 5 minutes and remove the solution 9. Adding 50 µl 100% ACN, vortexing for 15 minutes and removes the solution 10. Placed in the speed vacuum for 30 mins. 11. Adding 25 µl Trypsin (0.1 µg/µl), keep in refrigerator for 45 minutes at 40C 12. Adding 35-40 µl 25mM ABC (pH 8.0), incubate overnight at 370C in wise bath, then spin down, extract the trypsin. 13. To make ACN/DDW/TFA (660:330:10) µl 14. Adding 50 µl (ACN/DDW/TFA) in sample, keep in 30 minutes and overtaxing, repeat this step, spin down, and extract the solution and keep in solution. Repeat this step. 15. Placed in speed vacuum for 2 hours until 10-20 µl samples.
 * 1) Overtaxing until to be white color for 30 minutes.

MALDI-TOF/MS Spectrophotometer:

1.	Adding 5% Formic Acid in Gel Pieces (Coomassie Blue for 10 µl and Silver staining for 5 µl) and then pippetting. 2.	Vortexing and Spin down 3.	To make a solution A: 0.1% TFA B: 70% ACN,0.03% TFA Matrix Solution: (0.1% TFA 500µl + 50% ACN 500µl + CHCA 10 mg) 4.	Zip Tip by B: 70% ACN,0.03% TFA ( 5~10 times) using  C18 tips. 5.
