The Enzyme Effect: Broadening the Horizon of MS Optimization to Nontryptic Digestion in Proteomics.
J Am Soc Mass Spectrom

MS Proteomics Research Group, HUN-REN Research Centre for Natural Sciences, Magyar Tudósok körútja 2, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary.
In recent years, alternative enzymes with varied specificities have gained importance in MS-based bottom-up proteomics, offering orthogonal information about biological samples and advantages in certain applications. However, most mass spectrometric workflows are optimized for tryptic digests. This raises the questions of whether enzyme specificity impacts mass spectrometry and if current methods for nontryptic digests are suboptimal.

Background: Thrombin prefers substrates carrying Arg at the site of cleavage (P1) because of the presence of D189 in the primary specificity (S1) pocket but can also cleave substrates carrying Phe at P1. The structural basis of this property is unknown.
Objective: Solve the X-ray structure of thrombin bound to a ligand carrying Phe at P1 and investigate the effects of replacing D189.

Plasmodium malariae is the third most prevalent human malaria parasite species and contributes significantly to morbidity. Nevertheless, our comprehension of this parasite's biology remains limited, primarily due to its frequent co-infections with other species and the lack of a continuous in vitro culture system. To effectively combat and eliminate this overlooked parasite, it is imperative to acquire a better understanding of this species.

Electronic address:
Serine proteases (SPs) are important proteases in the digestive system of lepidopteran insects. They play important roles in protein digestion, coagulation, signal transduction, hormone activation, inflammation and development. Blood-borne pyosis caused by Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) has caused serious harm to sericulture.
