proteomics Flashcards
how many aa are there?
20
which aa is named after silk
serine
which aa is pro
proline- contraction of pyrrolidine
what amino acid is names after roots of plants?
valine
what aa is named after the colour white
leucine
which aa is gln
glutamine
which aa is named after a structurally similar aa
isoleucine
which aa was first found in old cheese
tyrosine
which aa is named after bladder?
tyrosine
which aa is met
methionine
what are the two aa ending in acid?
aspartic acid and glutamic acid
which aa is named after juice?
asparagine
which aa was hypothesised to be similar to another?
glutamine
what are peptides held together by
peptide bonds
how many aa are a helix
10
how many aa in beta pleated sheet
6
what is the size of phenylalanine hydroxylase
108kDA
in 2 ul of plasma how much protein is there
1060 unique proteins
how big is a growth hormone
22 kDa
How big is ferritin
42 kDa
how big is a single ferritin unit
480 kDa
which direction does the b ions go from
left to right
what direction does the y ion go from
right to left
how are b and y ions made
electrospray ionisation
why do we need high reolsultion for mass spec
so that you can tell the difference as some will have the same mass but different chemical structures at low resolution cannot tell the difference
what is mass resolution
ability to resolve closely adjacent peaks
what is the advantage of madli matrix
can analyse high masses so big proteins can lookout changes in proteins in transit modifications as can look at the whole protein
what are the disadvantages of maldi
can only look at one protein at a time and so has limited throughput doesn’t use MS2 so have to caluclate mass
how many common proteins are found in the blood?
289
how would you analyse complex mixtures
would use electrophoresis to break it down into fragments so easier to analyse.
how many proteins detected in the human proteome atlas
30k
how many peptides are detected in the human proteome atlas
290k
what are the methods for protein estimation
-bradord assay
-lowry method
-bicinchronic acid assay
-flourscent based assay
all rely on liaise
what is the sample prep for proteomic analysis
protein extraction, estimation and purification immunoprecipiatation, trypsin digestion and clean up
which mass anaylzer has the highest relation
orbi trap
what is mass resolution
the ability to resolved closely related adjunct mass peak. The bigger the number the higher the mass resolution
what is scan speed
how fast the mass analyser scan the entire range of mass spec
which modes would you use on mass spec if you were looking for specific peptides
MRN and PRM
what mass spec mode would you use for discovery work (identifying as many polypeptides as possible)
DDA and DIA
How does DDA work?
relys on chromatography to separate complex mixtures and elutes the most abundant- easier to use for discovery work
how does DIA work
splits actual space into blocks and fragments everything has higher fidelity
