The present invention relates to phosphopeptide isolation and enrichment,
particularly to a highly selective and specific phosphopeptide enrichment
method. The method mentioned in the invention is based on the strong
interaction between zirconium phosphonate and phosphopeptide. Zirconium
phosphonate is immobilized on the surface of matrix for phosphopeptide
enrichment. Zirconium phosphonate could be immobilized on chip surface,
it can also be immobilized on chromatographic matrix for isolation and
purification of phosphopeptides. The method shows high specificity for
phosphopeptides, it can be applied to purify and enrich low abundance
phosphopeptide from biological samples.
