• • Production, Purification, and Characterization of Adeno-Associated Vectors

  The production, purification, and characterization of adeno-associated vectors (AAVs) are fundamental processes in gene therapy and vaccine development, as they directly impact vector quality, stability, and therapeutic efficacy. AAVs are widely utilized due to their low immunogenicity and efficient gene delivery capabilities, making them suitable for treating genetic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. To ensure reliable and reproducible outcomes in research and clinical applications, rigorous ......

• • Protein Interaction Detection

  Protein-protein interaction detection plays a crucial role in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of life activities. Protein-protein interactions involve the physical contact and chemical binding between protein molecules and are fundamental to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying biological activities. Accurate detection of these interactions is crucial for deciphering complex biological processes such as cellular signal transduction, metabolic regulation, immune responses, and cell cy......

• • N-Terminal and C-Terminal Sequencing

  N-terminal and C-terminal sequencing of proteins is a technical approach used to determine the amino acid sequences at both ends of a protein's primary structure. N-terminal sequencing involves identifying the initial sequence of amino acids at the amino-terminal of proteins, while C-terminal sequencing focuses on the carboxyl-terminal. These sequencing techniques are widely applicable across various fields. They enable the determination of complete protein sequences and assist in elucidating the rela......

• • N-Terminal Sequencing Mass Spectrometry

  N-terminal sequencing mass spectrometry is a technique used to determine the N-terminal amino acid sequence of proteins or peptides by employing mass spectrometric methods. In this technique, protein or peptide samples are ionized and then separated and detected in a mass spectrometer based on the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the ions. Specific cleavage methods are typically utilized to systematically fragment the protein or peptide from the N-terminus into a series of fragment ions. By examining the......

• • Protein Purification and Sequencing

  Protein purification and sequencing are essential tools for researchers aiming to understand the complexity of proteins. Protein purification involves isolating and extracting target proteins from biological samples to achieve high purity, which is crucial for subsequent functional and structural analyses. Protein sequencing, conversely, determines the amino acid sequence of proteins, providing insights into their tertiary structure, functional sites, and molecular interactions. As biotechnology conti......

• • N- and C-Terminal Sequencing of Proteins

  N- and C-terminal sequencing of proteins refers to the determination of the amino acid sequences at both termini of a protein chain. These sequences critically influence the protein’s function, cellular localization, and post-translational modifications. Understanding a protein’s sequence is foundational for elucidating its structure and function. In functional studies, knowledge of the N- and C-terminal sequencing of proteins provides insight into cellular localization signals and interaction sites w......

• • Characterizing Metal Binding Sites in Proteins with X-Ray Crystallography

  Characterizing metal binding sites in proteins with X-ray crystallography is a powerful proteomics technique that provides atomic-level details about the roles and mechanisms of metal ions in biomolecules. By analyzing the three-dimensional structures of protein crystals, this method identifies the locations of metal ions and their interactions with surrounding ligands. Such insights are invaluable for understanding the functions of metal ions in catalytic activity, structural stability, and electron ......

• • Top-Down and Bottom-Up Proteomics

  Top-Down and Bottom-Up Proteomics represent two primary strategies in proteomic research, each offering distinct advantages and applications. Top-Down Proteomics involves the analysis of intact proteins using mass spectrometry, preserving the protein's natural state. This approach is particularly valuable for investigating post-translational modifications and protein isoforms. Conversely, Bottom-Up Proteomics entails the enzymatic digestion of proteins into peptides, which are then analyzed by mass sp......

• • Interactome Map

  The interactome map represents a comprehensive and systematic depiction of the interactions among various biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites, within an organism. By graphically representing these complex networks, it serves as a "map" that enables researchers to intuitively understand how biological processes and cellular functions are regulated through these molecular interactions. In recent years, this technology has garnered significant attention and applicatio......

• • Protein Identification and Characterization

  Protein identification and characterization are critical components of proteomics research, aimed at thoroughly analyzing the types, structural features, and functional information of proteins within biological samples. As the final products of gene expression, proteins engage directly in and regulate nearly all biological processes, with a complexity in type and function that far surpasses nucleic acids. The primary tasks in protein identification and characterization involve two main aspects: identi......
