Abstract:
Induced pluripotent stem cells have great potential as a human model system in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug screening. However, extensive analysis of iPSC are required before their therapeutic applications. With recent developments in mass spectrometry and proteomics, this technique can become a great alternative to traditional genomic approaches for iPSC analysis. Here, we describe preparation of iPSC for targeted proteomic analysis, and measurement of pluripotency markers allowing for classification into either pluripotent or nonpluripotent cells.

Proteomics
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
