Introduction
 Proteomics important technology
 Large-scale study of proteins
 Structure
 Functions
 “Omics” revolution: shift in strategy
 piece-by-piece -> global analysis

Why proteomics?
Why proteomics?
 Protein alterations cannot be fully deduced from DNA.
 RNA expression does not always reflect protein levels:
 translational control
 degradation
 turnover
 Some tissues not suitable for RNA expression analysis.
 Proteins are the physiological/pathological active key players.
 General goal:

better understanding of genesis and progression of diseases
 Clinical goals:
 early disease detection (biomarkers)
 identification of therapeutic targets
 therapy monitoring

Proteins  Peptides  Fragments
 Proteases, e.g. trypsin, break protein into peptides
 Tandem MS breaks peptides into fragment ions
 Measures the mass of each piece.
 MS accelerates the fragmented ions;
 heavier ions accelerate slower than lighter ones
 MS measure mass/charge ratio of an ion

Suffix Fragment
Peptides tend to fragment along the backbone.
Fragments can also loose neutral chemical groups like NH 3 and H2O.
