Mass Spectrometry-Based Peptide Identification Service
Peptides, structurally akin to proteins, are molecules composed of amino acid sequences. They play pivotal roles in regulating blood pressure, modulating pain perception, and managing glucose metabolism, yet are significantly smaller than proteins. Endogenous peptides typically arise from the cleavage of precursor proteins by various enzymes. Research into the collective peptide expression under specific physiological conditions is termed peptidomics.
Peptide identification aims to achieve "Peptide-Spectrum Matches" by analyzing peptide sequence information to ascertain sequences or post-translational modifications. Tandem mass spectrometry, extensively employed in peptide identification, combines with bioinformatics for peptide sequencing in proteomics. This involves matching experimental spectral data against theoretical data from protein databases. A current focus of research is matching proteins with unknown sequences to database entries.
