摘要:
Relative quantitative information about components of chemical or biological samples can be obtained from mass spectra by normalizing the spectra to yield peak intensity values that accurately reflect concentrations of the responsible species. A normalization factor is computed from peak intensities of those inherent components whose concentration remains constant across a series of samples. Relative concentrations of a component occurring in different samples can be estimated from the normalized peak intensities. Unlike conventional methods, internal standards or additional reagents are not required. The methods are particularly useful for differential phenotyping in proteomics and metabolomics research, in which molecules varying in concentration across samples are identified. These identified species may serve as biological markers for disease or response to therapy.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to novel protein modification reagents for fractionation and quantitative (differential) profiling of proteins in a complex mixture. The reagents react with amino acids or other protein components or structures and function as mass tags. The present invention provides methods of making the protein modification reagents and methods of using the protein modification reagents for quantitative analysis of proteins.

摘要:
A method of separating a mixture of biopolymers of various lengths using a blend of two linear hydrophilic polymers, particularly polyacrylamides (LPA) or substituted polyacrylamides, one with high weight-average molecular mass and another with low weight-average molecular mass, each present at a low concentration but wherein the concentration of the high weight-average molecular mass LPA is above its entanglement threshold, is disclosed. The matrix is excellent for use in methods of nucleic acid analysis, particularly long read length DNA sequencing.
