Peptides play a vital role in physiological functions such as blood sugar regulation, nerve conduction, and metabolism. Therefore, peptide identification is of great significance in the fields of drug discovery, immunology research, biological research, and food industry research.
What is Peptide Identification?
Peptide identification mainly refers to the use of physical, chemical, biological and other methods to measure and identify the molecular weight, amino acid composition, sequence, three-dimensional structure and post-translational modifications of peptides to determine the type and nature of the peptide.
How to Identify Peptides?
Peptide Molecular Mass Determination
At Creative Proteomics, we primarily use mass spectrometry and gel electrophoresis to analyze the molecular weight of peptides. Among them, mass spectrometry is the most direct and accurate method to determine the molecular weight of peptides. Based on our advanced mass spectrometry platform, we can determine peptides with a molecular weight range of 0.1-10 kD.
Peptide Amino Acid Composition and Sequence Analysis
We mainly use mass spectrometry to analyze the amino acid sequence of peptides.
We have advanced circular dichroism spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance technology platforms that can analyze the secondary structure, tertiary structure, disulfide bond status and disulfide bond quantitative analysis of peptides in various samples to achieve the purpose of identifying peptides.
Creative Proteomics has extensive experience in the field of peptide PTMs analysis. Our immunological methods can be used to detect modifications such as glycosylation and phosphorylation in peptides, while mass spectrometry methods can be used to determine the type and number of modified amino acids.
