Proteomics Services • Protein Identification – ID of proteins from SDS-PAGE and of proteins in-solution. • Post-Translational Modification Analysis – – Phosphorylation; ubiquitination; acetylation; other PTMs. • Protein Quantitation – – Label-free (intensity based / spectral counting); stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC); tandem mass tags (TMT); spiked standards. • MS Data Analysis Proteomics & Metabolomics Core Facility @
PTM analysis: affinity enrichment is often required (peptide level) • Phosphorylation (p. Ser, p. Thr, p. Tyr): – Ti. O 2 – IMAC • p. Tyr: – p. Tyr antibody • acetylation: – Ac-antibody • Ubiquitination – di. Gly antibody Proteomics & Metabolomics Core Facility @
