Service Introduction
RPs, the building blocks of the cellular machinery for protein synthesis, are known to undergo a variety of PTMs. Emerging research highlights that glycosylation on these proteins plays a crucial and often overlooked role in regulating ribosome function, protein translation, and cellular signaling pathways. Abnormal glycosylation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Our RPs glycosylation characterization service provides the tools to accurately identify and characterize these modifications, providing new avenues for therapeutic discovery and a deeper understanding of cellular biology.
Process Flow
-
Sample Preparation and Enzymatic Digestion
Your samples undergo a rigorous preparation process to ensure maximum protein recovery. This is followed by enzymatic digestion to break down the proteins into smaller glycopeptides, a necessary step for mass spectrometry analysis. -
Glycopeptide Enrichment
Using specialized affinity-based chromatography, we selectively enrich for glycopeptides while removing non-glycosylated peptides. This crucial step enhances the sensitivity of our analysis, enabling the detection of low-abundance glycosylation events.
-
High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Analysis
The enriched glycopeptides are analyzed using our state-of-the-art liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) platforms. This provides high-resolution data for precise mass measurements and fragmentation patterns.
