Polymer surface-peptide binding interactions have been shown previously to
lead to reductions in peptide matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (
MALDI) ion signals. In previous studies, increases in surface-peptide bindi
ng were characterized by the increases in both the initially adsorbed and r
etained quantities of I-125-radiolabeled peptides. The present studies esta
blish a specific correlation between the peptide retention properties of th
e polymer surface and the reduction in the peptide MALDI ion signal. This c
orrelation is demonstrated by obtaining MALDI mass spectra of angiotensin I
applied to various polymer surfaces having a range of peptide adsorption a
nd retention properties. In addition, the use of a MALDI based method of st
andard additions is shown to allow the quantitation of the polymer surface-
peptide retention affinity for angiotensin I and porcine insulin. The MALDI
standard additions method for measurement of surface-peptide retention aff
inities offers a number of significant advantages over conventional radiola
beled peptide binding methods and promises to be a valuable tool for the de
termination of this important biomaterial characteristic. (J Am Soc Mass Sp
