To remove traces of SDC and TEAB, protein samples were re-suspended in 100 ul of 1% formic acid solution and centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 1 min to allow separation into different phases. Supernatants were collected in new Eppendorf tubes, and 200 ul of ethyl acetate was added, and centrifuged at 15,000 rpm with the upper organic layer discarded. This process was repeated three separate times, with the final lower phase taken to dryness in the speed vacuum. The resultant dried samples were re-solubilized in 100 ul of 0.1% formic acid.
