Abstract:
Heavy methyl Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino acids in Cell culture (hmSILAC) is a metabolic labeling strategy employed in proteomics to increase the confidence of global identification of methylated peptides by MS. However, to this day, the automatic and robust identification of heavy and light peak doublets from MS-raw data of hmSILAC experiments is a challenging task, for which the choice of computational methods is very limited. Here, hmSEEKER, a software designed to work downstream of a MaxQuant analysis for in-depth search of MS peak pairs that correspond to light and heavy methyl-peptide within MaxQuant-generated tables is described with good sensitivity and specificity. The software is written in Perl, and its code and user manual are freely available at Bitbucket (https://bit.ly/2scCT9u).

Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...
Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
