Detecting scarce isoform-specific peptides using Next-Generation Protein Sequencing

20 Jun 2024

Disruptions in post-transcriptional mechanisms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) can result in the expression of aberrant proteoforms that can lead to a wide range of diseases, including cancer and tumor formation. Given the role of such protein variants in disease, there is an urgent need to identify disease-associated proteoforms to enable the development of proteoform-based biomarkers and therapies.

In this application note, understand how Dr. Gloria Sheynkman, Ph.D., and her team are using advanced analytical and computational approaches to investigate how proteoform variation underlies human disease. Learn how Next-Generation Protein Sequencing™ (NGPS) on the Quantum-Si Platinum® instrument serves as a powerful and complementary technology, enabling access to and interrogation of the full proteome.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Single Molecule DetectionSequencingSequencing refers to determining the order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. This process is essential in genomics, diagnostics, and evolutionary biology. Techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing provide high-throughput and precise data for analyzing genomes and transcriptomes.
