This book was released on 2008-02-22 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milestones in the techniques and methodology of polypeptide structure determination include the determination of the sequence of insulin by Sanger in 1951 (I) and the introduction of the repeti tive degradation of proteins with phenylisothiocyanate by Edman in 1959 (2). The automation of Edman chemistry (3) played a major role in the determination of polypeptide structures. Important modifications of Edman chemistry include the solid-phase approach by Laursen in 1971 (4) and the use of modified Edman reagents such as 4-N, N-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4'-isothiocy- ate (DABITC) for manual sequencing by Chang et al. (5) in 1976. A second major breakthrough in the analysis of polypeptides was automated amino acid analysis described by Spackman et al. in 1958 (6). However, during the period from 1975 to 1980, it became increasingly clear that the amount of material required for struc tural analysis was more than could be easily isolated for the vast majority of proteins. The field was criticized for its lack of sensitive techniques for the analysis of growth factors, immune modulators, membrane receptors, and peptide hormones. In addition, very little had been done to modernize and improve the original instruments introduced in the mid-1960s. The first indications of improved instrumentation for Edman chemistry came from Wittmann-Liebold's laboratory (7), followed by the introduction of a "micro" sequencer by Hunkapiller and Hood in 1978 (8). The movement toward improved instrumentation culminated in the "gas"--Phase sequencer of Hewick et al. (9) in 1981

Download or read book Advanced Technologies for Protein Complex Production and Characterization written by M. Cristina Vega and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: This edited volume discusses the identification, discovery, characterization, structure determination and modeling of multicomponent macromolecular complexes, and as such, it fully complements the first volume (ISBN 978-3-319-27214-6), which targeted methods of recombinant production of protein complexes. This book is divided in 8 sections offering a selection of technologies widely used in the characterization of protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes for different purposes and at different scales. From native electrophoresis methods, that are accessible to any reasonably well-equipped laboratory, to the sophisticated setup required for structure determination by cryo-electron microscopy or X-ray crystallography, this book contains a wide variety of clearly explained analytic and preparative approaches, connected with the production techniques developed on the previous volume. The readers will find an integral connection between this book and the first volume, which ensures a comprehensive and updated discussion of the main topics of the discipline. Taken together, these volumes constitute a cohesive and authoritative source of the research on multicomponent macromolecular complexes. In here, we focus on characterization of protein complexes in the broadest sense, which is not typically covered in other sources. Moreover, all chapters are carefully written by world renowned scientists and active researchers, making this volume ideal, not only as a reference source, but also as a companion book for the daily laboratory work. This book is aimed for a wide range of scientists, from science students to experienced researchers, working on protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes, who need a thorough understanding of protein production and complex characterization.
Download or read book Protein Structure Analysis written by Roza Maria Kamp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Protein Structure Analysis - Preparation and Characterization" is a compilation of practical approaches to the structural analysis of proteins and peptides. Here, about 20 authors describe and comment on techniques for sensitive protein purification and analysis. These methods are used worldwide in biochemical and biotechnical research currently being carried out in pharmaceu tical and biomedical laboratories or protein sequencing facilities. The chapters have been written by scientists with extensive ex perience in these fields, and the practical parts are well documen ted so that the reader should be able to easily reproduce the described techniques. The methods compiled in this book were demonstrated in student courses and in the EMBO Practical Course on "Microsequence Analysis of Proteins" held in Berlin September 10-15, 1995. The topics also derived from a FEBS Workshop, held in Halkidiki, Thessaloniki, Greece, in April, 1995. Most of the authors participated in these courses as lecturers and tutors and made these courses extremely lively and successful. Since polypeptides greatly vary depending on their specific structure and function, strategies for their structural analysis must for the most part be adapted to each individual protein. Therefore, advantages and limitations of the experimen tal approaches are discussed here critically, so that the reader becomes familiar with problems that might be encountered.
Download or read book Characterization of Proteins written by Felix Franks and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-10-03 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteins are the servants of life. They occur in all component parts of living organisms and are staggering in their functional var- ty, despite their chemical similarity. Even the simplest single-cell organism contains a thousand different proteins, fulfilling a wide range of life-supporting roles. Their production is controlled by the cell’s genetic machinery, and a malfunction of even one protein in the cell will give rise to pathological symptoms. Additions to the total number of known proteins are constantly being made on an increasing scale through the discovery of mutant strains or their production by genetic manipulation; this latter technology has become known as protein engineering. The in vivo functioning of proteins depends critically on the chemical structure of individual peptide chains, but also on the detailed folding of the chains themselves and on their assembly into larger supramolecular structures. The molecules and their fu- tional assemblies possess a limited in vitro stability. Special methods are required for their intact isolation from the source material and for their analysis, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Proteins are also increasingly used as “industrial components,” e.g., in biosensors and immobilized enzymes, because of their specificity, selectivity, and sensitivity. This requires novel and refined proce- ing methods by which the protein isolate can be converted into a form in which it can be utilized.

Download or read book Protein Characterization by Capillary Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry written by Feng Zhou and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of genomics, separation technology and mass spectrometry, proteomics has become an important tool in biological research. Characterization of posttranslational modification (PTM) by mass spectrometry is attracting an increasing attention because of its importance in signal transduction and the difficulty in obtaining this information from genomic methods. Bottom-up methods, which analyze the peptides from enzymatic digestion of proteins, are widely used for proteomic research. However, bottom-up methods may lose some important information when characterizing PTM since not all peptides are detected. In contrast, top-down methods directly characterize intact proteins, which makes it possible to retain PTM information. This dissertation focuses on the characterization of proteins by coupling high throughput methods, capillary isoelectric focusing electrophoresis (CIEF) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS). In this work, a CIEF-RPLC-ESIMS system is designed and constructed for 2-D profiling of protein mixture. The microdialysis membrane based cathodic cell used in this system not only serves as the cathodic cell in CIEF separation, but also transfers the focused proteins separated by CIEF to RPLC. After eliminating the interference of ampholyte, a few fmol of protein can be detected with this system. The detection limit of this system is one order of magnitude lower than 2-D PAGE. By taking the advantage of high resolving power with mass spectrometry and multidimensional separation, the theoretical peak capacity of this system can reach 1x10 6, which is two orders of magnitude higher than theoretical peak capacity of 2-D PAGE. This system is firstly tested with a standard protein mixture. After slight modification, this system is used to profile the intact protein from a yeast enzyme concentrate and a lysate of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum. The pI vs. MW profile obtained from CIEF-RPLC-MS compares favorably with theoretical data derived from C. tepidum genome and experimental data obtained from 2-D-PAGE.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the recent spectacular progress in the biological sciences can be at tributed ot the ability to isolate, analyze, and structurally characterize proteins and peptides which are present in cells and cellular organelles in only very small amounts. Recent advances in protein chemistry and in particular the application of new micromethods have led to fruitful advances in the understanding of basic cellular processes. Areas where protein-chemical studies have resulted in interest ing discoveries include the peptide hormones and their release factors, growth factors and oncogenes, bioenergetics, proton pumps and ion pumps and chan nels, topogenesis and protein secretion, molecular virology and immunology, membrane protein analysis, and receptor research. In fact, the key methods are now on hand to unravel many of the major outstanding problems of molecular biology and in particular questions of fundamental interest which relate to devel opmental biology and specificity in cell-cell interaction. In this volume we have assembled descriptions of procedures which have re cently been shown to be efficaceous for the isolation, purification, and chemical characterization of proteins and peptides that are only available in minute amounts. Emphasis is placed on well-established micromethods which have been tested and found useful in many laboratories by experienced investigators. The chapters are written by specialists, and describe a range of sensitive techniques which can be used by researchers working in laboratories with only modest resources and equipment.
