Peptide Bonds02:43

Peptide Bonds

83.3K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...

Development of Analytical Methods

2.3K
An analytical methodology can be divided into four sequential steps: technique, method, procedure, and protocol. A technique is a scientific principle that rationalizes a specific phenomenon through chemical measurements. Adapting a technique for analyzing a sample of interest is termed a method. The procedure outlines the directions for performing the analysis via an analytical method. The protocol is the detailed guidelines on the procedure, which should be strictly followed to obtain the...

Sustainable Development

15.2K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry01:33

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry

8.5K
Tandem mass spectrometry, also known as MS/MS or MS2, is an analytical technique that employs two mass analyzers. Essentially it is a series of mass spectrometers that helps isolate a particular biomolecule and then helps study its chemical properties.
This technique helps gather information regarding the protein from which the peptide was obtained and to study the peptides’ amino acid sequence. Identifying peptides from a complex mixture is an important component of the growing field of...

Development of the Lymphatic System01:15

Development of the Lymphatic System

2.1K
The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Language Development01:22

Language Development

921
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Mass spectrometry (MS)-based hepcidin analysis shows promise for diagnosing iron-related disorders.
  • Current anti-hepcidin analytical methods have limitations.
  • Enhanced MS detection sensitivity for hepcidin can improve diagnostic value.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve MS detection sensitivity of hepcidin.
  • To enhance the diagnostic utility of hepcidin analysis for iron-related disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Reduced disulfide bonds in hepcidin to increase proton accessibility.
  • Compared ionization efficiencies of reduced and non-reduced hepcidin forms.
  • Utilized selected reaction monitoring (SRM) assay on a triple-quadrupole MS platform.

Main Results:

  • Reduced hepcidin demonstrated over two times higher ionization efficiency compared to non-reduced hepcidin.
  • Significant improvement in detection sensitivity observed on a triple-quadrupole MS platform.
  • Limit of detection (LOD) increased more than 10 times for hepcidin concentrations between 1-10 fmol.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing hepcidin disulfide bonds is a useful modification for enhancing ionization efficiency in MS-based quantitative assays.
  • This modification improves hepcidin detection sensitivity, potentially advancing the diagnosis of iron-related disorders.
