• • Advantages and Disadvantages of iTRAQ, TMT, and SILAC in Protein Quantification

  In proteomics research, quantitative analysis is a crucial tool for uncovering protein expression levels, molecular regulatory mechanisms, and cellular signaling pathways. iTRAQ, TMT, and SILAC are three commonly used protein quantification techniques.

• • Principles of iTRAQ, TMT, and SILAC in Protein Quantification

  Protein quantification plays a crucial role in modern life sciences research. By quantifying the relative or absolute abundance of proteins, researchers can gain deep insights into changes in protein expression profiles under different conditions, and how these changes contribute to diseases, development, or environmental responses.

• • Analysis of Antibody Sequences Using Mass Spectrometry

  Antibodies play a crucial role in biomedical research and clinical applications. Accurate antibody sequence analysis is essential for antibody engineering, drug development, and immunotherapy. In recent years, mass spectrometry (MS) has become a powerful tool for antibody sequence analysis due to its high sensitivity, high resolution, and high throughput.

• • Procedure of Top-Down Protein Sequencing for Modified Terminals

  Top-down protein sequencing is a powerful mass spectrometry-based approach used to analyze intact proteins without the need for enzymatic digestion. This method provides a comprehensive view of protein modifications, including those at the N- and C-terminal ends, which are critical for understanding protein function and regulation.

• • Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies Using De Novo Sequencing

  Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are antibodies produced by a single B cell clone, known for their high specificity and consistency. They have become crucial in therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications. 

• • Detection of Protein Modifications by Top-Down Sequencing

  Proteins are the primary agents of life activities, performing a wide range of functions such as catalyzing biochemical reactions, providing structural support, and transmitting signals. The functionality of a protein is determined not only by its amino acid sequence but also by its post-translational modifications (PTMs). PTMs refer to the chemical alterations that occur after protein synthesis, modifying its properties and functions.

• • Procedure for Peptide Sequencing Based on De Novo Method

  In proteomics research, peptide sequencing is a crucial technique for understanding protein structure and function. Unlike traditional database search methods, De Novo sequencing does not rely on known protein sequence databases but directly derives amino acid sequences from mass spectrometry data.

• • Analysis of Top-Down Protein Sequencing by MALDI ISD

  Proteins are essential functional molecules within organisms, and studying their structure and function is crucial for understanding life processes. The development of protein sequencing technologies provides powerful tools for revealing the amino acid sequences and structures of proteins. Among these technologies, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) combined with In-Source Decay (ISD) has emerged as an efficient and precise method for top-down protein sequencing.

• • Analysis of Peptide Sequencing Using Mass Spectrometry

  In biological research, analyzing protein structures and functions is critical to understanding biological system mechanisms. Peptides, the fundamental units of proteins, provide vital sequence information necessary for elucidating protein structure and function. Mass spectrometry, known for its high sensitivity and resolution, has become an essential tool for peptide sequencing analysis.

• • Analysis of N-Terminal Sequencing Using Edman Degradation and Mass Spectrometry

  N-terminal sequencing is a critical technique in protein analysis, primarily used to determine the amino acid sequence at the N-terminus of a protein or peptide. This method is essential in characterizing protein structures, identifying proteins, and understanding their functional properties.
