Discovery and Quantification in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics
Journal Title: Journal of Proteomics and Genomics Research - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has been successfully used to analyze biological samples and advances of MS-based approaches have turn MS data from largely qualitative to quantitative. These MS-based quantitative approaches using label-free, tags, or stable isotope labeling have their own strengths and limitations. The variability introduced by different methods prior to quantitative mass spectrometry should be considered, and accuracy and precision of MS measurements can also vary depending on the strategy used for MS quantification. Therefore, the development of methods for accurate protein quantitation is one of the most challenging areas of proteomics. Using these quantitative approaches, one can investigate the dynamics of proteome through differential protein expression in normal biological processes and diseases.

GR-RNF43 Regulation in Colorectal Cancer
In contrast to approaches that compare pair-wise control (i.e. normal) to treated (i.e. disease) samples, we compared colorectal cancer samples not only to a set of control samples but also against a wide range of sample...
Optimization and ZSPORE Analysis of Affinity Purification Coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Mammalian Cells
Defining protein-protein interactions is essential for understanding the mechanisms by which cells regulate basic functions, such as metabolism, transcription, and signal transduction. Affinity purification followed by t...
Differences in the Alveolar Macrophage Proteome in Transgenic Mice Expressing Human SP-A1 and SP-A2
Surfactant protein A (SP-A) plays a number of roles in lung host defense and innate immunity. There are two human genes, SFTPA1 and SFTPA2, and evidence indicates that the function of SP-A1 and SP-A2 proteins differ in s...

Mechanisms Associated with Acquisition of Resistance to Butyrate-Induced Apoptosis in Colorectal Cancer Cells Using Gene Expression Analysis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide and its prevalence can be reduced by changes to lifestyle and diet. Fermentation of dietary fibre by the gut microbiota and formation of short cha...
