Quenching Trypsin Is Unnecessary in Filter-Based Bottom-Up Proteomics.

Quenching digestions in proteomics prior to analysis is routine in order to eliminate residual protease activity. Residual activity leads to overdigestion, nonspecific star-activity, and back-exchange in isotopic O quantitation. Chemical and isobaric labeling (e.

The BR-body proteome contains a complex network of protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions.

Bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) are non-membrane-bound structures that facilitate mRNA decay by concentrating mRNA substrates with RNase E and the associated RNA degradosome machinery. However, the full complement of proteins enriched in BR-bodies has not been defined. Here, we define the protein components of BR-bodies through enrichment of the bodies followed by mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis.

Comparison of RT-dPCR and RT-qPCR and the effects of freeze-thaw cycle and glycine release buffer for wastewater SARS-CoV-2 analysis.

Public health efforts to control the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic rely on accurate information on the spread of the disease in the community. Acute and surveillance testing has been primarily used to characterize the extent of the disease. However, obtaining a representative sample of the human population is challenging because of limited testing capacity and incomplete testing compliance.

Miniprep assisted proteomics (MAP) for rapid proteomics sample preparation.

Complete enzymatic digestion of proteins for bottom-up proteomics is substantially improved by use of detergents for denaturation and solubilization. Detergents however, are incompatible with many proteases and highly detrimental to LC-MS/MS. Recently; filter-based methods have seen wide use due to their capacity to remove detergents and harmful reagents prior to digestion and mass spectrometric analysis.

The genetic proteome: Using genetics to inform the proteome of mycobacterial pathogens.

Mycobacterial pathogens pose a sustained threat to human health. There is a critical need for new diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines targeting both tuberculous and nontuberculous mycobacterial species. Understanding the basic mechanisms used by diverse mycobacterial species to cause disease will facilitate efforts to design new approaches toward detection, treatment, and prevention of mycobacterial disease.

iTRAQ Quantitative Proteomic Profiling and MALDI-MSI of Colon Cancer Spheroids Treated with Combination Chemotherapies in a 3D Printed Fluidic Device.

For a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer there are limited clinical options aside from chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the development of new chemotherapeutics is a long and costly process. New methods are needed to identify promising drug candidates earlier in the drug development process.

The effect of glucagon on intestinal lymph flow in rats.

Intravenous injection of a bolus of 5 microgram of glucagon to rats with an intestinal lymph fistula produces a marked, transient rise in lymph flow and protein output from the fistula. The effect is presumably the result of brief enhancement of splanchnic blood flow.
