Proteomics and Bioinformatics Research

 

CAPR is located in the University Hospital Cancer Center Building. We have recently acquired a Thermo Electron LTQ Orbitrap Velos with ETD capability. In addition, we are equipped with an Applied Biosytems 4800 Plus MALDI TOF/TOF Analyzer. With these state of the art instruments we are able to perform quantitative proteomics experiments using iTRAQ and ICAT approaches.


Recent advances in genome sequencing have provided unprecedented opportunities for biomedical research. Bioinformatics and proteomics are becoming essential components of systems biology research. Advanced mass spectrometry and other proteomics techniques have provided opportunities for both the qualitative and quantitative analyses of proteins, such as peptide internal sequencing, post-translation modification, non-covalent interaction and protein folding.

The identification and quantification of proteins from complex biological mixtures has remained a focus of CAPR. To this end, 2-D DIGE, iTRAQ and SILAC quantitative proteomics of proteins and their PTMs has been successfully implemented in CAPR for quantifying protein changes at both cell and tissue levels.

One of the goals of CAPR is to develop and optimize mass spectrometry technologies to study the role of protein post-translational modifications and protein-protein interactions in cell function. Protein phosphorylation, methylation, nitrosylation and oxidative modifications are the initial targets. After the development and optimization of a robust mass spectrometry-based method, we will characterize protein modifications and interactions in the context of disease development and regulation. Please contact Dr. Hong Li to discuss your potential proteomics projects.
