Key Steps
-
Sample Digestion
Ribosome-enriched samples undergo stringent purification and quality control (QC). The proteins are subsequently efficiently denatured and enzymatically hydrolyzed into peptides optimized for MS analysis. -
4D LC-IMS-MS/MS Analysis
Peptides are subjected to sophisticated four-dimensional separation using liquid chromatography (LC), ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), and MS/MS on a specific platform. This ensures superior peptide resolution and detection.
-
Bioinformatics & Data Analytics
Raw MS data is processed, which includes peptide and protein identification, label-free quantification, and statistical analysis to identify differentially abundant RPs or protein modifications.
-
Comprehensive Report GenerationA detailed report is compiled, presenting all findings clearly and concisely, including methodology, raw data, processed data, and biological interpretations.

FAQs
Q: What makes 4D label-free ribosomal proteomic characterization more advantageous than traditional proteomic methods for ribosome analysis?
A: Our 4D approach incorporates ion mobility separation, adding an extra dimension of resolution. This significantly enhances the ability to distinguish and quantify ribosomal peptides, especially low-abundance ones, leading to deeper coverage, higher accuracy, and more reliable quantification compared to conventional 2D or 3D methods.
Q: How much sample material is typically required for your service, especially for sensitive ribosomal studies?
A: One of the key benefits of our 4D label-free service is its exceptional sensitivity. We can achieve deep ribosomal proteome coverage with as little as 300ng of total protein from purified ribosomes or cell/tissue lysates. We encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific sample type and quantity.
Q: What kind of data and reports will I receive upon completion of the service?
A: You will receive a comprehensive final report including identified RPs, their quantitative data, statistical analyses, and detailed methodological descriptions. Raw MS data and processed data files will also be provided for your convenience.
