These amine-reactive groups go through N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) reactions, which are based around three types of functional groups. [2] Isobaric labeling methods include tandem mass tags (TMT) , isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) , mass differential tags for absolute and relative quantification, and dimethyl ...
An isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) is an in-vitro isotopic labeling method used for quantitative proteomics by mass spectrometry that uses chemical labeling reagents. [1] [2] [3] These chemical probes consist of three elements: a reactive group for labeling an amino acid side chain (e.g., iodoacetamide to modify cysteine residues), an isotopically coded linker, and a tag (e.g., biotin) for ...
Diastereotopic groups also arise in achiral molecules. For instance, any one pair of CH 2 hydrogens in 3-pentanol (Figure 1) are diastereotopic, as the two CH 2 carbons are enantiotopic. Substitution of any one of the four CH 2 hydrogens creates two chiral centers at once, and the two possible hydrogen substitution products at any one CH 2 ...
Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is a method of separating molecules based on the difference of their molecular weight. At the pH at which gel electrophoresis is carried out the SDS molecules are negatively charged and bind to proteins in a set ratio, approximately one molecule of SDS for every 2 amino acids.
An additional type of bond is a "non-bond", indicated with ., to indicate that two parts are not bonded together. For example, aqueous sodium chloride may be written as [Na+].[Cl-] to show the dissociation. An aromatic "one and a half" bond may be indicated with :; see § Aromaticity below.
The first description of cooperative binding to a multi-site protein was developed by A.V. Hill. [4] Drawing on observations of oxygen binding to hemoglobin and the idea that cooperativity arose from the aggregation of hemoglobin molecules, each one binding one oxygen molecule, Hill suggested a phenomenological equation that has since been named after him:
Assignment of E and Z isomerism based on group priority. Diastereomers are distinct molecular configurations that are a broader category. [3] They usually differ in physical characteristics as well as chemical properties. If two molecules with more than one chiral centre differ in one or more (but not all) centres, they are diastereomers.
Generally, one protein isoform is labeled as the canonical sequence based on criteria such as its prevalence and similarity to orthologous—or functionally analogous—sequences in other species. [15] Isoforms are assumed to have similar functional properties, as most have similar sequences, and share some to most exons with the canonical ...
