Analyzing Trace Quantities of Amino Acid Sequences Using a Protein Sequencer —Gradient System—

User Benefits

- Amino acid sequences from N-terminals can be reliably identified even in trace sample quantities. - Amino acid sequences can be easily predicted automatically using the software. - Amino acid sequences of proteins not registered in genome databases can also be easily identified.

Introduction

A wide range of proteins with functions in the body are converted from precursor proteins to mature proteins and are discharged from cells through a variety of processes. However, interactions between such proteins can cause diseases. For that reason, protein research is becoming increasingly important for identifying the causes of diseases and for preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases, and discovering new drugs. Furthermore, due to advances in sample pretreatment technology, which enables purification of even trace quantities of unknown proteins, there is a need for protein sequencers with higher sensitivity that can be used to identify amino acid sequences in trace sample quantities. This article describes an example of using the PPSQ-50 protein sequencer gradient system to analyze trace sample quantities.
