  • To demonstrate the power of TMTProC, we analyzed a human and yeast interference sample and were able to quantify 13,290 proteins in 24 fractions. (biorxiv.org)
  • This type of method is important for the comprehensive and accurate characterization of therapeutic proteins as it can yield both qualitative and quantitative information. (sigmaaldrich.com)
  • The goal is to assign acquired spectra to known peptide sequences and potential co- and post-translational modifica- tions. (lu.se)
  • A database of RBD protein sequences was downloaded from UniProt ( http://www.uniprot.org ). (technews03.com)
  • This peptide is a potential substrate for EGFR protein tyrosine kinases. (anaspec.com)
  • Lastly, the proteins have been enzymatically hydrolysed with chymotrypsin for 16 h at 37 °C at a substrate/enzyme ratio of 1:25 (wt/wt). (technews03.com)
