Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics
Mass spectrometry has been widely used to analyze biological samples and has evolved into an indispensable tool for proteomics research. Our desire to understand the proteome has led to new technologies that push the boundary of mass spectrometry capabilities, which in return has allowed mass spectrometry to address an ever-increasing array of biological questions. The recent development of a novel mass spectrometer (Orbitrap) and new dissociation methods such as electron-transfer dissociation has made possible the exciting new areas of proteomic application. Although bottom-up proteomics (analysis of proteolytic peptide mixtures) remains the workhorse for proteomic analysis, middle-down and top-down strategies (analysis of longer peptides and intact proteins, respectively) should allow more complete characterization of protein isoforms and post-translational modifications. Finally, stable isotope labeling strategies have transformed mass spectrometry from merely descriptive to a tool for measuring dynamic changes in protein expression, interaction, and modification.
 
Protein Profiling
Proteins are the key functional actors in all cellular processes, and diseases almost always manifest at the level of proteins. The analysis of all expressed proteins (the proteome), for example healthy and diseased tissues, is definitely the most applicable approach to uncover key players, which are often named as biomarkers or functionally related protein signatures.
Poochon utilizes a combination of the IEF and gel-based fractionation technologies, the SILAC labeling technology, and the latest Mass Spectrometry technology. As a result, we are able to perform large-scale protein identification, quantitation, and global proteome analysis, identifying up to 6,000 proteins for each cellular or tissue sample. The availability of large-scale quantitative global proteome analyses will enable the identification of biomarkers, relevant drug targets, and proteome signatures.
 
Custom Protein Function Analysis
Understanding protein functions is one of the keys to understanding life at the molecular level. It is also important in the context of human disease because many conditions arise as a consequence of alterations to protein functions. The recent availability of relatively inexpensive sequencing technologies has resulted in thousands of complete or partially sequenced genomes with millions of functionally uncharacterized proteins. Such a large volume of data, combined with the lack of high-throughput experimental assays to functionally annotate proteins, attributes to the growing importance of automated function prediction. Here at Poochon, we provide you the service of analyzing and producing a detailed analysis on the functions, properties, and uses of any protein sequence.
