Protein Enrichment Analysis Service

    Protein enrichment analysis is a critical approach in proteomics research, designed to isolate and concentrate specific proteins or protein subsets from complex biological samples. Protein enrichment analysis is particularly essential in scenarios where target proteins are present in low abundance, such as in the study of rare disease biomarkers, signaling pathways, or post-translational modifications (PTMs). Protein enrichment analysis is also indispensable when analyzing proteins with subtle modifications or those located in specific cellular compartments, which are often overshadowed by high-abundance proteins in complex matrices like plasma, serum, or tissue lysates. By overcoming these challenges, protein enrichment analysis enables deeper insights into biological systems and critical processes that would otherwise remain undetected.

     

    In proteomics, the identification of low-abundance proteins or modified proteins, such as phosphorylated or glycosylated proteins, requires a sensitive and targeted approach. Protein enrichment analysis techniques like affinity purification, immunoprecipitation, and chromatography combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry enable researchers to achieve enhanced sensitivity and specificity in protein detection. These methods ensure sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility in protein detection and quantification.

     

    Service at MtoZ Biolabs

    MtoZ Biolabs provides a specialized Protein Enrichment Analysis Service to address the challenges of isolating and analyzing low-abundance proteins and post-translational modifications (PTMs) from complex biological samples. The Protein Enrichment Analysis Service enhances the detectability and quantification of target proteins, enabling high-quality data for downstream proteomic research. Our Protein Enrichment Analysis Service employs advanced enrichment technologies, including:

    1. Affinity-Based Protein Enrichment Analysis

    Enrichment relies on the specific binding of proteins to ligands, antibodies, or tags.

    • Affinity Purification (AP): Uses specific ligands (e.g., biotin-streptavidin systems).
    • Immunoprecipitation (IP): Enriches target proteins using specific antibodies.
    • Lectin Affinity Chromatography: For glycoprotein enrichment using lectins.
    • His-Tag or GST-Tag Purification: Captures recombinant proteins tagged with His or GST.
    • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP): For DNA-binding protein analysis.
