The study of the molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is extremely important for identifying potential therapeutic targets as well as early markers. In this regard, the study of the role of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides is of particular relevance. Serine-8 phosphorylated forms (pSer8-Aβ) have been shown to have an increased aggregation capacity and may reflect the severity of amyloidosis. Here, an approach for quantitative assessment of pSer8-Aβ based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is proposed. The relative fraction of pSer8-Aβ was estimated in the total Aβ-pool with a detection limit of 1 fmol for pSer8-Aβ (1–16) and an accuracy of 2% for measurements in the reflectron mode. The sensitivity of the developed method is suitable for determining the proportion of phosphorylated peptides in biological samples.
