A novel procedure for performing protein labeling for comparative proteomics termed inverse labeling is provided for the rapid identification of marker or target proteins. With this method, to evaluate protein expression of a disease or a drug treated sample in comparison with a control sample, two converse collaborative labeling experiments are performed in parallel. In one experiment the perturbed sample (by disease or by drug treatment) is isotopically heavy-labeled, whereas, the control is isotopically heavy-labeled in the second experiment. When mixed and analyzed with its unlabeled or isotope light counterpart for differential comparison, a characteristic inverse labeling pattern is observed between the two parallel analyses for proteins that are differentially-expressed to an appreciable level. In particularly useful embodiments, protein labeling is achieved through proteolytic 18O-incorporation into peptides as a result of proteolysis performed in 18O-water, metabolic incorporation of 15N (or 13C and 2H) into proteins, and chemically tagging proteins with an isotope-coded tag reagent such as an isotope-coded affinity tag reagent. Also provided is a novel procedure for preparing and purifying peptides from a protein solution and a novel procedure for identifying marker or target proteins, particular phosphorylated proteins, which combines the procedure for preparing and purifying peptides from a protein solution with inverse labeling.
摘要:
A method of determining the location and history of metallic nitride and/or oxynitride inclusions in metallic melts. The method includes the steps of labeling metallic nitride and/or oxynitride inclusions by making a coreduced metallic-hafnium sponge from a mixture of hafnium chloride and the chloride of a metal, reducing the mixed chlorides with magnesium, nitriding the hafnium-labeled metallic-hafnium sponge, and seeding the sponge to be melted with hafnium-labeled nitride inclusions. The ingots are neutron activated and the hafnium is located by radiometric means. Hafnium possesses exactly the proper metallurgical and radiochemical properties for this use.
