• • Macromolecular Proteomics

  Macromolecular proteomics refers to the comprehensive investigation of macromolecular proteins and their complexes within organisms, particularly large protein assemblies involved in essential biological processes and functions. This field of macromolecular proteomics focuses on identifying, quantifying, and elucidating the interaction networks formed by these macromolecular proteins, how such interactions contribute to their biological functions, and how these proteins participate in a range of cellular...

• • Proteomics Analysis Workflow

  Proteomics is the scientific study of the structure and function of all proteins within a biological system. Proteomics analysis serves as a comprehensive approach to understanding these proteins in both qualitative and quantitative dimensions. The objective of proteomics analysis is to elucidate how protein expression, function, and interactions influence the state and dynamic changes of biological systems. A typical proteomics analysis workflow consists of the following key steps:

• • Proteomics Sequencing Analysis

  Proteomics sequencing analysis is a comprehensive technique used to investigate the expression, function, and interactions of the complete set of proteins within a biological sample. As a core methodology in modern molecular biology, proteomics sequencing analysis enables researchers to gain deeper insights into the proteomic composition of cells and the biological processes in which these proteins participate. This process involves the extraction, separation, identification, and quantitative measurement...

• • Determination of Protein Hydrophobicity

  The determination of protein hydrophobicity is an experimental approach used to analyze and quantify hydrophobic regions within protein molecules. Hydrophobicity refers to the tendency of certain amino acid residues in proteins to avoid interaction with water molecules. This property plays a critical role in protein structure formation and biological function, as it facilitates correct protein folding in aqueous environments and influences protein–protein interactions. Importance of Hydrophobicity..........

• • Analysis of Protein Secondary Structure

  Secondary structure analysis of proteins refers to the local spatial arrangement of amino acid residues within the protein chain. It consists of structural motifs such as α-helices, β-sheets, β-turns, and random coils. Techniques for Analyzing Protein Secondary Structure 1. Circular Dichroism (CD) Circular dichroism is a widely used technique for secondary structure analysis of proteins. It is based on the characteristic differential absorption of circularly polarized light by various secondary structural..

• • Introduction to Amino Acid Sequence Homology Alignment Analysis

  Amino acid sequence homology alignment analysis is a widely used approach in molecular biology for comparing the amino acid sequences of two or more proteins. This analysis provides insights into the structural, functional, and evolutionary relationships among members of a protein family. The fundamental steps involved in conducting amino acid sequence homology alignment analysis are as follows: Tool Selection Widely used tools for amino acid sequence alignment include BLAST (particularly BLASTP), .........

• • Protein Expression Level Determination

  Protein expression level determination is a crucial step in biomedical research, involving the identification and quantification of proteins within cells or tissues. Such information is essential for elucidating biological processes, understanding disease mechanisms, exploring mechanisms of drug action, and advancing biotechnological applications. A variety of techniques can be employed to assess protein expression levels, including but not limited to the following: Western Blot 1. Principle: This .........

• • Normal Ranges for Quantitative Determination of Immunoglobulins

  Quantitative determination of immunoglobulins is a standard method for assessing serum concentrations of immunoglobulin isotypes, including IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD. This assay is widely used to evaluate an individual’s immunological status. The normal ranges for quantitative determination of immunoglobulins may vary depending on age and health condition. The following ranges represent typical values observed in healthy adults; however, it is important to note that specific reference intervals may.......
