One strategy to reduce complexity in proteome analysis is through rational reduction of the proteolytic peptides that constitute the analyte for mass spectrometric analysis. Methods for selective isolation of C- and N-terminal peptides have been developed. In this chapter, we outline the context and variety of methods for selective isolation of N-terminal peptides and detail one method based on negative selection through differential removal of internal peptides.
