Patent number: 12292447Abstract: The embodiments herein provide methods to analyze the in vitro stability of recalcitrant or membrane-bound proteins in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) comprising the proteolytic enzyme, pepsin, and in combination with a novel pepsin-trypsin assay employing state-of-the-art mass spectrometric approaches, such as LC-MS/MS, to monitor the precise degradation products. The extent of protein digestion can be evaluated by the appearance of peptic products and the disappearance of tryptic peptide products (as a proxy for intact protein). The embodiments herein also provide methods for protein quantitation using high-sensitivity LC-MRM-MS quantification. The methods embodied herein are particularly useful in charactering proteins produced in transgenic plants, such as canola genetically engineered to produce long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignees: Nuseed Nutritional Australia Pty Ltd, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Susan MacIntosh, Michelle Colgrave, Keren Byrne, Jo Caine, Xue-Rong Zhou
