Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology
  • Proteomics

Background:

  • Proteases are crucial enzymes secreted by various cells, regulating numerous biological processes.
  • Analyzing protease activity in small conditioned media volumes is challenging, often limited to basic molecular weight identification.
  • Subtle post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteases significantly impact their function but are difficult to detect.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel 2-dimensional system for high-resolution analysis of protease activities.
  • To enable the detection and characterization of subtle alterations in protease post-translational modifications.
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional qualitative analysis methods for secreted proteases.

Main Methods:

  • Application of a specialized 2-dimensional separation system.
