Middle-down approaches for mass spectrometry-based protein identification and characterization

Kristina Srzentic

Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged over the last two decades as the analytical technique of choice in systems-level protein studies, known as proteomics. Two are the MS-based approaches generally applied to proteomics: bottom-up (BU), which relies on the p ...

Amino-functionalized macroporous silica for efficient tryptic digestion in acidic solutions

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Jingjing Wan

Amino-functionalized macroporous silica foam (NH2-MOSF) has been developed as a host reactor to realize highly efficient proteolysis in acidic solutions where normal tryptic reactions cannot occur. The digestion protocol consists simply of adding the funct ...

Phage selection of cyclic peptide antagonists with increased stability toward intestinal proteases

Christian Heinis, Vanessa Baeriswyl

The oral delivery of protein and peptide drugs is limited by their proteolytic degradation and the poor absorption across the intestinal epithelia. In this work, we exposed a phage library of small bicyclic peptides (

Validation of an in vitro digestive system for studying macronutrient decomposition in humans

Martinus Gijs, Guy Vergères, Flurina Schwander, Reto Portmann

The digestive process transforms nutrients and bioactive compounds contained in food to physiologically active compounds. In vitro digestion systems have proven to be powerful tools for understanding and monitoring the complex transformation processes that ...

Characterization of efficient proteolysis by trypsin loaded macroporous silica

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Hongyan Bi, Jingjing Wan

Tryptic digestion of proteins in trypsin loaded porous silica has been shown to be highly efficient. Enzymatic silica-reactors were prepared by immobilizing trypsin into macroporous ordered siliceous foam (MOSF) and into mesoporous SBA-15 silica which has ...

Preliminary crystallographic analysis of two oligomerization-deficient mutants of the aerolysin toxin, H132D and H132N, in their proteolyzed forms

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Aerolysin is a major virulence factor produced by the Gram-negative bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila and is a member of the beta-pore-forming toxin family. Two oligomerization-deficient aerolysin mutants, H132D and H132N, have been overproduced, proteolyzed ...

Iontophoretic Fraction Collection for Coupling Capillary Zone Electrophoresis with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Niels Erik Lion

An automated fraction collection interface has been developed for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). This fraction collection approach is based on electromigration and diff ...
