Here we propose a novel strategy for the selective isolation and sensitive analysis of mul- ti-phosphopeptides based on TiO2-gratfed mesoporous materials, in which MCM-41 and SBA-15 were chosen as the hard templates. The commercialized IMAC and TiO2 nanopartices were further investigated in the phosphopeptide analysis for comparison. The enrichment efficiency was evaluated and measured by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The results indicated that both TiO2-SBA-15 and TiO2-MCM-41 exhibited the preferential affinity to multi-phosphopeptides compared with the other two widely used strategies. The mesoporous TiO2 based protocol showed highly selective and sensitive properties, where phosphopepddes could be identified at femtomole.展开更多
