Our de novo peptide sequencing service offers accurate and comprehensive determination of peptide sequences without relying on reference databases. Our experienced scientists and cutting-edge technology ensure reliable results tailored to your research needs.
What is Peptide De Novo Sequencing?
De novo sequencing is a powerful technique used to determine the amino acid sequence of a peptide, without relying on a reference sequence database. It involves analyzing MS data, specifically tandem MS/MS, to decipher the sequence based on fragmentation patterns and mass differences between ions.
How Do We Perform Peptide De Novo Sequencing?
Creative Proteomics specializes in providing comprehensive peptide sequencing services. Our experienced scientists are trained in the latest techniques, ensuring that our customers receive accurate and reliable results.
We accept a wide range of sample types, including peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules. Our experienced scientists can guide you in preparing your samples to ensure optimal conditions for sequencing. If you choose to provide samples yourself, please ensure the quality of the samples:
Normal amount: 500 μg
Minimum amount: 200 μg
MS Analysis
The samples undergo tandem MS analysis, where they are fragmented to generate a series of ions. The resulting mass spectra are carefully analyzed to identify ion series and mass differences, enabling the determination of amino acid sequences.
With the power of FTICR-MS, we directly analyze intact peptides and peptides without prior digestion.
- Intact peptide molecular ions are introduced into the mass analyzer.
- Proteins are cleaved into peptide fragments through gas phase lysis.
- The obtained peptide segments were analyzed to determine the amino acid sequence of each peptide segment.
- All peptide sequences are spliced together to obtain the complete protein sequence.
Validation and Verification
The obtained peptide sequence is rigorously validated through internal quality control measures and independent validation methods to ensure accuracy and reliability.
