  • NOVEL OPTICAL LABELING MOLECULES FOR PROTEOMICS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20140186875
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the labeling and identification of changes in protein levels, changes in enzyme activity, and changes in protein modification. The invention provides for highly soluble optical labeling molecules which are optionally cleavable after separation of mixtures of labeled proteins into components. These optical labeling molecules find utility in a variety of applications, including use in the field of proteomics.

  • NOVEL ZWITTERIONIC DYES FOR LABELING IN PROTEOMIC AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL ANALYSES
    Publication number: 20070259333
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the labeling and identification of proteins. The invention provides for highly soluble zwitterionic dye molecules where the dyes and associated side groups are non-titratable and maintain their net zwitterionic character over a broad pH range, for example, between pH 3 and 12. These dye molecules find utility in a variety of applications, including use in the field of proteomics.

  • Mapping discontinuous antibody or aptamer epitopes for protein structure determination and other applications
    Publication number: 20060205089
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of mapping antibody or aptamer epitopes for use in a variety of utilities including the elucidation of the tertiary structure of proteins. A method of the invention, antibody imprinting, uses antibodies or aptamers against target proteins and random peptide probe libraries to map the epitopes of antibody binding sites on target proteins.

  • Peptide identification
    Publication number: 20050196811
    Abstract: The present invention provides a peptide identification method along with related peptide databases, method of generating the databases, computer usable media, and computer program products. The peptide identification method involves the use of qualitative amino acid composition or partial qualitative amino acid composition information of a query peptide obtained by mass spectrometry to correlate the query peptide to one or more peptides with defined amino acid sequences in a peptide database generated according to the present invention.
