Are you currently grappling with understanding complex translational regulation in disease, identifying novel therapeutic targets missed by transcriptomics alone, or deciphering precise mechanisms of drug action on protein synthesis? Our ribosomal proteomic analysis services help you provide a high-resolution map of in vivo translation and uncover novel translated regions. We empower you to quantify gene-specific translation efficiencies and pinpoint how your interventions impact protein synthesis machinery through cutting-edge ribosome footprinting protocols coupled with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and robust bioinformatic pipelines for comprehensive data interpretation.

Introduction to Ribosomal Proteomic Analysis

Ribosomal proteomic analysis is a specialized approach aimed at comprehensively characterizing the protein composition of ribosomes. Leveraging advanced techniques, notably mass spectrometry (MS), researchers can pinpoint and precisely quantify the vast and varied assortment of proteins that form ribosomes. This analysis offers insights into ribosomal structure, function, and dynamics. It also helps elucidate how ribosomal proteins interact with each other and with other cellular components, aiding our understanding of protein synthesis regulation.
