Preserve the Native Peptide Profile
Where relevant, sample handling accounts for ex vivo proteolysis, degradation, adsorption, matrix effects, and stabilization requirements that can alter the measured peptide population.
Creative Proteomics is a mass spectrometry-based contract research organization supporting academic, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical R&D with peptidomics and peptide analysis. We design study-specific workflows for peptide discovery, characterization, quantification, immunopeptidomics, targeted bioanalysis, and bioinformatics.
Peptide analysis has analytical requirements that differ from conventional bottom-up proteomics. Endogenous processing, degradation, adsorption, post-translational modifications, abundance range, and sequence diversity can influence how samples are collected, prepared, separated, acquired, and interpreted.
Our projects therefore begin with the research question and the evidence required. Sample matrix, peptide class, available material, study design, and downstream use are considered before the analytical route is selected.
Peptide studies can be particularly sensitive to sample handling and acquisition choices. The workflow is selected around the analyte and the evidence the study must produce.
Where relevant, sample handling accounts for ex vivo proteolysis, degradation, adsorption, matrix effects, and stabilization requirements that can alter the measured peptide population.
Discovery LC-MS/MS, DIA, targeted PRM/MRM, de novo sequencing, and structure-focused approaches are selected according to whether the study requires breadth, comparison, confirmation, quantification, or structural detail.
Analysis can integrate peptide sequence, precursor or source protein, cleavage pattern, abundance, PTM state, motif, pathway, interaction, and complementary omics context as appropriate to the study.
Support can begin at feasibility and study design and continue through analysis, data processing, and reporting.
Define the biological question, sample type, study groups, available material, and the evidence required from the study.
Select sample handling, enrichment or fractionation, acquisition, quantification, and bioinformatics strategies appropriate to the project.
Build in project-appropriate controls, pooled QC or replicates, identification criteria, and targeted-assay checks where applicable.
Deliver project-appropriate raw data, identification or quantification tables, QC summaries, statistical outputs, visualizations, and reports.
We work with research teams that need peptide-level evidence across exploratory, mechanistic, and development-stage R&D.
Creative Proteomics has supported research and R&D teams at academic medical centers, universities, biotechnology companies, and biopharmaceutical organizations.
