High Throughput Proteome Screening for Biomarker Detection

Abstract

Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics has become an important component of biological and clinical research. Current methods, while highly developed and powerful, are falling short of their goal of routinely analyzing whole proteomes mainly because the wealth of proteomic information accumulated from prior studies is not used for the planning or interpretation of present experiments. The consequence of this situation is that in every proteomic experiment the proteome is rediscovered. In this report we describe an approach for quantitative proteomics that builds on the extensive prior knowledge of proteomes and a platform for the implementation of the method. The method is based on the selection and chemical synthesis of isotopically labeled reference peptides that uniquely identify a particular protein and the addition of a panel of such peptides to the sample mixture consisting of tryptic peptides from the proteome in question. The platform consists of a for the of from the sample on the sample of a a and a of for the of the peptides and the interpretation of the the method to the of the proteome we the of spectrometry-based proteomics a for the and of in a Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics has become an important component of biological and clinical research.
