The primary structure of enzymes is the basis of the biological function of proteins, and the determination of its primary structure can help to study the function of proteins. Mass spectrometry can be used to determine the primary structure of proteins, including molecular weight detection, amino acid composition analysis, peptide sequence analysis, and disulfide bond localization, etc. Creative Enzymes provides mass spectrometry-based primary structure detection services for cloning enzymes.
There are many methods for molecular weight determination, and the commonly used ones mainly include viscosity, gel permeation chromatography, SDS-PAGE, light scattering, and mass spectrometry. Among them, mass spectrometry mainly includes electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. Compared with other methods, mass spectrometry identifies protein molecular weight with less sample consumption, and has higher sensitivity, resolution and accuracy, which is beneficial for the analysis of complex mixture samples.
Creative Enzymes is based on capillary catheter isoelectric focusing (cIEF), which enables accurate determination of isoelectric point of any protein. Compared to traditional plate methods, cIEF has the advantages of short time and high efficiency, high accuracy and low sample usage. The technique is applicable to a wide range of amino acids, peptides, recombinant proteins, enzymes, monoclonal antibodies, etc., and has been widely used in clinical analysis.
