The characterization by de novo peptide sequencing of the different protein nucleoside diphosphatekinase B (NDK B) from all the commercial hakes and grenadiers belonging to the family Merlucciidaeis reported. A classical proteomics approach, consisting of two-dimmensional gel electrophoresis, trypticin-gel digestion of the excised spots, MALDI-TOF MS, LC-MS/MS, and nanoESI-MS/MS analyses,was followed for the purification and characterization of the different isoforms of the NDK B.Fragmentation spectra were used for de novo peptide sequence. A high degree of homology was foundbetween the sequences of all the species studied and the NDK B sequence from Gillichthys mirabilis,which is accessible in the protein databases. Particular attention was paid to the differentialcharacterization of species-specific peptides that could be used for fish authentication purposes. Thesefindings allowed us to propose a rapid and effective classification method, based in the detection ofthese biomarker peptides using the selective ion reaction monitoring (SIRM) scan mode in massspectrometry.
