Popis: Application of MALDI-TOF MS to direct sequencing of dsDNA substrates is demonstrated using a strategy that employs exonuclease III digestion of a target sequence. Experimental conditions for exonuclease III have been optimized for this application, including addition of essential divalent metal ion cofactors. A short cation-exchange column was designed to provide efficient sample cleanup and overcome major problems arising from salt interference.
