PEG, being a polymer, tends to interfere with matrix crystallization. As a result of this, it is difficult to produce decent signals in MALDI-TOF (linear positive mode).

Would you have any advice (or protocol) that could share for MALDI-TOF analysis on PEGylated large proteins (e.g. > 100 KDa)?

Apart from MALDI-TOF (or mass spectrometry), Are they any alternatives to characterize PEGylation on proteins? Thanks.
