4. Integrated Analysis

Integrated Analysis is a proteomics software and consulting company based in Bethesda, MD, just outside of NIH. Integrated Analysis has developed an integrated, comprehensive SaaS (software as a service) solution for proteomics that allows proteomics labs to get access, within virtually minutes, to a fully hosted, tested, and integrated informatics solution for proteomics, using nothing more than a web browser.

It also offers software and bioinformatics consulting services, both for the proteomics community as well as Fortune 500 companies. It focuses on the non-trivial software and IT infrastructure requirements for proteomics, and the proteomics labs focus on the science.

3. Proteome Factory AG

Proteome Factory AG offers fully supported contract research, fee-for-services and advanced products for gel-based and gel-free proteome analysis (proteomics), protein identification, protein & peptide sequencing, characterization, analysis and epitope mapping by mass spectrometry (MS).
State-of-the-art technologies and methods are routinely employed for differential proteomics studies and quantification and validation of regulated proteins, biomarkers and targets. For separation of complex samples, it applies high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis which theoretically allows to resolve up to 10000 protein spots in 40 x 30 cm 2DE gels. As gel-free methods for global comparison of proteomes, it employs LCMS-based isobaric labelling techniques like iTRAQ™ and TMT™ proteomics or label-free nanoHPLC-ESI-MS/MS based approaches. 

2. Biognosys

Founded in 2008 as a spin-off from the lab of proteomics pioneer Ruedi Aebersold at ETH Zurich, Biognosys is dedicated to transforming the life sciences with next generation proteomics solutions.

Biognosys believes that the decoding of the proteome will impact the life sciences more than the genome revolution two decades ago. Biognosys’ next generation technology quantifies proteins with unbeatable precision and depth. Its solution relies on mass spectrometry, which allows simultaneous quantification of thousands of proteins in a single experiment. This new generation protein quantification technology is available to researchers worldwide through our contract research services or our portfolio of innovative reagent and software products.

1. Bioproximity

Bioproximity has been a provider of contract scientific research, specializing in biological mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, since 2008. We offer a broad range of proteomic services designed for specific applications. We combine specialized sample handling and sample preparation tools and methods with state-of-the-art instrumentation, cloud-based computational resources and fit-for-purpose data analytic pipelines to yield the best quality data, consistently.

It developed Proteome Cluster, an industry-first web application for storing and analyzing tandem mass spectrometry data in the cloud through the use of transient, on-demand, Beowulf compute clusters using the high performance compute instances available via Amazon Web Services to enable highly parallelized data processing. Proteome Cluster can now execute nearly any data processing pipeline for biological mass spectrometry data. Its work has contributed to publications in leading journals including Science, PNAS and Cancer Research.

Practice of N-terminal Sequencing by Edman Degradation Technology in Protein and Peptide Sequence Analysis

Image
The N-terminal amino acid sequence of protein is one of the key quality attributes of biological drugs. N-terminal sequencing by Edman degradation  is a routine method to analyze this property. The analysis of 15 amino acid sequences on the N-terminal by Edman degradation method is usually a necessary item when applying for biological drugs . At  the same time, it is also an annual inspection item of many listed biological drugs (see Pharmacopoeia 2015). In scientific research, N-terminal sequencing can be used to provide key information for the confirmation of unknown or uncertain theoretical sequences. So this method is widely used in scientific research and industry.  W hat are its principles ? H ow to analyze the results ? Advice for sample delivery? P rinciples In short, we can understand it from these two aspects: The first step  is Edman degradation . T hrough the reaction of PITC (Phenylisothiocyanate), an organic reagent, and α - amino acid at the N-terminal of pr

Part I: Basic Knowledge of Quantitative Analysis of Protein Acetylation Modification

Image
After the protein is translated in the cell, it is processed through a very important step before being transported to the corresponding organelle and undergoing specific biological effects. The role of protein   post-translational modification   ( PTM ) is primarily to alter the activity, localization or function of the protein. Protein PTM  also further increases the diversity and complexity of cellular pathway mechanisms and life activities. Except for acetylation , c ommon protein PTM  include s   phosphorylation , glycosylation , ubiquitination , and the like. Protein  A cetylation  M odification Protein acetylation modification, as the name suggests, refers to the grafting of acetylated groups on the original basis of the protein. In cells, the acetylation modification reaction is catalyzed by an acetyltransferase, and the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA is transferred and added to the protein lysine residue. In earlier studies, acetylation has been considered to be a pos

De Novo Protein Sequencing Procedures and Features

Image
The sequence of a protein molecule is the basis for the function of a protein. Accurate determinat ion of protein sequence plays an important role in the study of protein functional epitopes, detection of commercial monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and kits. Although there are many studies on protein sequencing, accurate sequencing of proteins is still not as fast and accurate as that of DNA. Protein sequencing is mainly hampered by the purification of protein samples, and the complexity of factors that make up the amino acid com position of proteins. De novo   protein sequencing  is  also called novel protein sequencing. This technique deduces t he amino acid sequence based on the difference in mass between a series of regular fragment ions generated by the peptide collision with an inert gas. We can guess the amino acid sequence and post-translational modifications based on the y ion and b ion at the cleavage of the peptide bond. De novo  sequencing has a unique advantage that t
