The Proteomics Research Group provides mass spectrometric measurements for the identification and characterization of proteins. We accept samples from all BRC and HCEMM research groups, and from external academic and industrial partners (capacity permitting).

 

SERVICES

We accept samples for qualitative and relative quantitative protein analyses including

 

Sample preparation

  • Affinity isolation of protein complexes by co-immunoprecipitation of (tagged) bait proteins

  • Protein digestion using different proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, GluC, LysC)

  • High-pH reversed phase peptide separation for offline fractionation of complex samples

  • Isobaric labeling of peptides for relative quantification (TMT reagent)

  • Peptide purification using C18 tips or cartridges

  • Isolation of phosphopeptides using IMAC (immobilized metal affinity chromatography)

 

Mass Spectrometry and data analysis

  • LC-MS/MS analysis of peptides using HCD, CID and/or ETD fragmentation

  • Protein identification with database search (Protein Prospector, Byonic, Mascot)

  • Relative quantification of proteins using label-free or isobaric labeling methods (Proteome Discoverer, Skyline)
