Abstract:
HPLC has emerged as a valuable tool for separating proteins. To address the analysis of complex proteomes and quantitative changes of proteins therein, we developed a multidimensional LC (MDLC)-based approach followed by large gel 1-D SDS-PAGE. Here we present a novel strategy that allows for simultaneously identifying and quantifying differentially regulated proteins following three separation and fractionation steps. This MDLC platform integrates advantages of dual protein labelling using both fluorescence and isotope-coded tags for subsequent detection and quantification of abundance ratios of proteins by MS.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.
