Mass spectrometry (MS)-based protein identification depends mainly on protein extraction and digestion. Although sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) can preclude enzymatic digestion and interfere with MS analysis, it is still the most widely used surfactant in these steps. To overcome these disadvantages, a SDS-compatible proteomic technique for SDS removal prior to MS-based analyses was developed, namely filter-aided sample preparation (FASP).
