Neuropeptides are an important class of endogenous bioactive substances involved in the function of the nervous system, and connect the brain and other neural and peripheral organs. Mass spectrometry-based neuropeptidomics are designed to study neuropeptides in a large-scale manner and obtain important molecular information to further understand the mechanism of nervous system regulation and the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. This review summarizes the basic strategies for the study of neuropeptides using mass spectrometry, including sample preparation and processing, qualitative and quantitative methods, and mass spectrometry imagining.

Suspect and Nontarget Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Groundwater Underlying Different Land-Use Areas.

Groundwater can be contaminated by PFAS emissions, yet research on the presence and associated risks of PFAS in groundwater underlying different land-use areas remains limited. Herein, high-resolution mass spectrometry-based suspect and nontarget analyses were performed to determine PFAS occurrence in groundwater samples obtained from a rural area, a planting region, and the vicinities of a pharmaceutical park, an airport, and an industrial park in Datong City, China. A total of 31 PFAS (16 emerging and 15 legacy PFAS) were identified, and the ΣPFAS concentrations ranged from 0.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of protein aggregates, which are thought to be influenced by posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Dehydroamino acids (DHAAs) are rarely observed PTMs that contain an electrophilic alkene capable of forming protein-protein crosslinks, which may lead to protein aggregation. We report here the discovery of DHAAs in the protein aggregates from AD, constituting an unknown and previously unsuspected source of extensive proteomic complexity.

The rapid intraerythrocytic replication of Plasmodium falciparum, a deadly species of malaria parasite, requires a quick but constant supply of phospholipids to support marked cell membrane expansion. In the malarial parasite, many enzymes functioning in phospholipid synthesis pathway have not been identified or characterized. Here, we identify P.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has revolutionized bacterial identification and elucidated many molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial growth, community formation, and drug resistance. However, most research has been focused on a few model bacteria, overlooking bacterial diversity. In this study, we present the most extensive bacterial proteomic resource to date, covering 303 species, 119 genera, and five phyla with over 636,000 unique expressed proteins, confirming the existence of over 38,700 hypothetical proteins.

Electronic address:

Apple polyphenols (APP) can reduce obesity. However, the effects of APP on abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (aSAT) at metabolic level were unclear. In this study, 5-week APP intervenes were conducted on 10-week high-fat diet (HFD) feeding mice with doses of 200 and 500 mg/kg b.
