For digestion, the protein solution was reduced with 5 mM of dithiothreitol for 30 min at 56°C and alkylated with 11 mM of iodoacetamide for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. The protein sample was then diluted by adding 100 mM of triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) to a urea concentration of less than 2 M. Finally, trypsin was added at a 1:50 trypsin-to-protein mass ratio for the first digestion overnight and a 1:100 trypsin-to-protein mass ratio for the second 4 h digestion.
