Download or read book Mass Spectrometry Developmental Approaches to Answer Biological Questions written by Gwenael Pottiez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of the events taking place in a cell, a biological fluid or in any biological system is the main goal of biology research. Many fields of research use different technology to assess those events. Mass spectrometry is one of those techniques and this undergoes constant evolution and adaptation to always enhance the accuracy of the information provided. Proteomics provides a large panel of data on protein identity and protein expression that were made possible by mass spectrometry. For several years now mass spectrometry has become central to performing proteomic research, however this powerful tool is under constant evolution to be more sensitive and more resolute. More importantly mass spectrometry became a field of research focusing on new applications. Indeed, the complexity in biological systems relies on the changes of expression of transcription of proteins but also on the post-translational modification of proteins, the structure of proteins and the interaction between proteins, amongst others. As of now, several investigations tried to improve the quantification of proteins by mass spectrometry, the determination of post-translational modifications, the protein-protein and protein-nucleic acids interaction or the proteins structures. This book is structured as follows: after a brief introduction of the usual and most popular applications for mass spectrometry in proteomics, the most recent research and developments in mass spectrometry-based methodologies will be explored.

Book Development and Application of Mass Spectrometry based Biophysical Approaches

Download or read book Development and Application of Mass Spectrometry based Biophysical Approaches written by Ying Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass spectrometry (MS)-based biophysical approaches are new "tools" for protein characterization owing to its capability to analyze proteins and protein complexes that range in molecular weight from kDa to MDa. Protein characterization requires more than identifying the primary structure. More importantly, protein high order structures (i.e., secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures) are needed for biological studies. MS has become the major tool in studies of protein primary structure and post translational modifications (PTMs) over the past two decades. Because MS has high sensitivity and fast turnaround, more and more biophysical approaches rely on MS to generate information for protein higher order structures. One of the emerging biophysical approaches is MS-based protein footprinting. Protein surface regions can be covalently labeled by chemical reagents in a biologically relevant environment. These chemical labels can be read out by MS through either bottom-up or top-down MS proteomics analysis. The outcome provides protein conformational information. Among various chemical labeling strategies, hydrogen deuterium exchange (HDX) is one of the most commonly used approaches in MS-based protein biophysical studies. HDX-MS is introduced in Chapter 1 by covering the early developments and new applications especially in measuring interaction affinities. Although HDX-MS has been developed for decades, there are still many challenges in protein characterization that require new or improved HDX method development. One such challenge is characterization of protein aggregation. Protein aggregation leads to loss of protein function, and protein aggregates are implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. A key issue in studies of protein aggregation is real-time monitoring under biologically relevant condition. We developed an HDX-MS-based approach by studying Alzheimer's disease related A[beta] aggregation, and we described this development in Chapter 2. A[beta] proteins are labeled by deuterium in a pulsed way during A[beta] aggregation. The extents of aggregations are monitored by MS as deuterium uptake. This pulsed HDX platform provides peptide-level information about A[beta] aggregation. Ligands (drug candidates) were also evaluated with this platform to determine how the drug candidates affect oligomerization (Chapter 3). Ligand interactions can induce protein conformational changes, which are required in various protein functions like signaling, enzyme activity. Such interactions are fundamental to all biological processes. One of the often used ligands in cells is calcium. Calcium interacts with a variety of calcium-binding proteins, most of which have conserved sequence that form EF-hand motifs to bind calcium. MS-HDX has been an important tool in studies of these typical calcium-binding proteins. Many proteins without an EF-hand motif also require calcium for their function. For example, protein-arginine deiminase (PAD) is an enzyme for arginine citrullination and binds calcium without EF-hand motif. We conducted differential HDX studies on PAD2 protein (Chapter 4). Multiple and cooperative calcium binding of PAD2 are detected by HDX. HDX was further extended by applying protein-ligand titration in an HDX experiment (i.e., Protein-ligand interactions by mass spectrometry, titration and H/D exchange, PLIMSTEX). The calcium binding affinity of each binding site can be elucidated by PLIMSTEX (Chapter 5). Protein aggregation or ligand-binding induced conformational changes can also be detected by MS-HDX. One significant question in MS-based biophysical studies is how to generate structural information for proteins in the absence of a high resolution structure. In a newly developed platform, we combined a traditional structural biology approach, homology modeling, and MS-HDX to generate a structural model for diheme cytochrome c (DHCC) from Heliobacterium (Chapter 6), a protein for which solvent accessibility information from HDX experiment was used as the guide for homology modeling and used to generate a refined structural model of DHCC by using various computational approaches. In summary, we describe in this thesis development and application of several new, refined approaches of HDX and analyze protein aggregation, protein-ligand binding and unknown protein structures. We hope other scientists can apply these approaches to solve complicated and demanding biological problems that are difficult to investigate using traditional biophysical methods

Book Evolution of Translational Omics

Download or read book Evolution of Translational Omics written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of proteomics has developed rapidly over the past decade nurturing the need for a detailed introduction to the various informatics topics that underpin the main liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) protocols used for protein identification and quantitation. Proteins are a key component of any biological system, and monitoring proteins using LC-MS/MS proteomics is becoming commonplace in a wide range of biological research areas. However, many researchers treat proteomics software tools as a black box, drawing conclusions from the output of such tools without considering the nuances and limitations of the algorithms on which such software is based. This book seeks to address this situation by bringing together world experts to provide clear explanations of the key algorithms, workflows and analysis frameworks, so that users of proteomics data can be confident that they are using appropriate tools in suitable ways.

Book Development and Application of Mass Spectrometry Methods for Proteomic and Post translational Modification Analysis

Download or read book Development and Application of Mass Spectrometry Methods for Proteomic and Post translational Modification Analysis written by Danqing Wang (Ph.D.) and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteins are essential biomolecules that perform a wide range of biological functions. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) substantially impact protein structure and function, making their characterization essential for understanding complex biological systems. This dissertation focuses on developing and applying novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based methodologies to address challenges in studying two common and important PTMs: phosphorylation and glycosylation. To this end, new enrichment materials and their corresponding workflows, including Cotton Ti-IMAC, epoxy-ATP-Ti4+ IMAC, and Very Weak Anion Exchange (VWAX) have been introduced for efficient phosphopeptide and glycopeptide enrichment. A strategy combining boronic acid enrichment, high-pH fractionation, and EThcD has been developed for comprehensive O-glycosylation profiling. Additionally, the Boost-DiLeu quantitative approach has been introduced to enhance glycopeptide quantification in size-limited samples, while a periodate oxidation-based SUGAR tag labeling method has been established for high-throughput, intact sialylated glycopeptide-specific quantification. These methods have been applied to study human diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease, providing insights into dysregulated glycosylation patterns and their potential implications in disease pathogenesis. Overall, this work contributes to advancing MS-based proteomics strategies and broadening our understanding of the roles of PTMs in biological systems and is anticipated to inspire future research endeavors in related fields.
