The Proteomics Laboratory
Primary Services Offered
Services are offered for protein identification, proteome profiling
and MS-based relative protein quantitation.





nanoLC/MS/MS using the LTQ-XL Linear Ion Trap with ETD.
Triple Quad MS for MRM analysis using a TSQ Voyager.
MALDI ToF MS using the ABI Voyager-DE Pro.
Proteome profiling by two dimensional chromatography.
Proteome fractionation by preparative gel electrophoresis or by
isoelectric focusing using free flow electrophoresis.
 Serum or plasma depletion of abundant proteins
from human or rodent samples.
 Protease or chemical based fragmentation of proteins in
preparation for mass spectrometry.
 Data analysis using Sequest, Mascot, Peaks and X!tandem
algorithms.
 Data interpretation, presentation and publication tools using
Scaffold software.
Proteomics: A Technology Driven
Discipline
 Technological advances have made MS
based protein identification and
sequencing possible.
 MS based proteomics is dependent
upon up-to-date database and search
engine capabilities.

M
Rabbit (200µl) or human plasma (250 µl)
were depleted of 12 abundant proteins by
a single pass over a IgY-12 column
(Beckman Coulter) designed for depletion
of human serum and plasma. SDS-PAGE
with coomassie blue staining is shown. 20
µg protein was applied to each lane.
Samples are:
R1: Rabbit before depletion
R2: Rabbit column flow through
R3: Rabbit column retentate
H1: Human before depletion
H2: Human column flow through
H3: Human column retentate

Data Analysis and Presentation
MS/MS data is processed through Bioworks 3.3.1 using
the Sequest algorithm.
Processed data is analyzed with Scaffold software
using the X! tandem algorithm.
Data from both Sequest and X! tandem analyses are
presented in Scaffold.

Future Plans
Initiate service using isobaric tags for
differential proteomic analysis.
Establish efficient work flows for
identification of post translational
modifications on proteins using the ETD
feature of the LTQ-XL.
Obtain instrumentation for Selective Ion
Monitoring (SIM) and Multiple Reaction
Monitoring (MRM) to validate peptide
biomarkers.
