What is SILAC technique?
Stable Isotope Labeling by/with Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) is a technique based on mass spectrometry that detects differences in protein abundance among samples using non-radioactive isotopic labeling. It is a popular method for quantitative proteomics.
What is Preomics?
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins. Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, with many functions. The proteome is the entire set of proteins produced or modified by an organism or system. Proteomics enables the identification of ever-increasing numbers of proteins.
What is super SILAC?
Specifically, the super-SILAC technique uses a mixture of SILAC-labeled cells as a spike-in standard for accurate quantification of unlabeled samples, thereby enabling quantification of human tissue samples.
What is the difference between top-down and bottom-up proteomics?
In bottom-up approaches, purified proteins, or complex protein mixtures, are subjected to proteolytic cleavage, and the peptide products are analyzed by MS. In top-down proteomics, intact protein ions or large protein fragments are subjected to gas-phase fragmentation for MS analysis.
How does SILAC differ from iTRAQ?
The main differences among labeling techniques are (i) SILAC and ICAT labeling are applied on intact proteins, while iTRAQ labeling is performed on peptides, and (ii) in the case of SILAC and ICAT, peptides are quantified during MS analysis, while in the case of iTRAQ, quantitation occurs during fragmentation, i.e., MS …
What is top-down sequencing?
Top-down sequencing is a MS method of measuring the mass of the intact protein (that is, the “top” part of top-down sequencing ) and then dissociating the gaseous intact protein into product ions (the “down” of top-down sequencing) that allows its sequence to be derived, using software tools.
Why is it called shotgun proteomics?
The name is derived from shotgun sequencing of DNA which is itself named after the rapidly expanding, quasi-random firing pattern of a shotgun. The most common method of shotgun proteomics starts with the proteins in the mixture being digested and the resulting peptides are separated by liquid chromatography.
How does Tandem Mass Tag work?
A tandem mass tag (TMT) is a chemical label that facilitates sample multiplexing in mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantification and identification of biological macromolecules such as proteins, peptides and nucleic acids.
Who invented proteomics?
Marc Wilkins
The terms “proteome” and “proteomics” were coined in the early 1990s by Marc Wilkins, a student at Australia’s Macquarie University, in order to mirror the terms “genomics” and “genome”, which represent the entire collection of genes in an organism.
