Abstract

Protein-protein interactions play crucial roles in various biological pathways and functions. Therefore, the characterization of protein levels and also the network of interactions within an organism would contribute considerably to the understanding of life. The availability of the human genome sequence has created a range of new possibilities for biomedical research. A crucial challenge is to utilize the genetic information for better understanding of protein distribution and function in normal as well as in pathological biological processes. In this review, we have focused on different platforms used for systematic genome-based proteome analyses. These technologies are in many ways complementary and should be seen as various ways to elucidate different functions of the proteome.

Multidimensional separation of peptides for effective proteomic analysis.

Current solution based proteomic analysis methods are generally based on enzymatic digestion of a protein mixture followed by separation using multidimensional liquid chromatography and/or electrophoresis where peptide identification is typically accomplished by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). It is generally accepted that no single chromatographic or electrophoretic procedure is capable of resolving the complex mixture of peptides that results from a global proteolytic digest of a proteome. Therefore, combining two or more orthogonal (multimodal) separation procedures dramatically improves the overall resolution and results in a larger number of peptides being identified from complex proteome digests. Separation of a proteome digest is a particularly challenging analytical problem due to the large number of peptides and the wide concentration dynamic range. While it has been demonstrated that increasing the number of dimensions of separation prior to MS analysis increases the number of peptides that may be identified, a balance between the time invested and the overall results obtained must be carefully considered. This manuscript provides a review of two- and three-dimensional peptide separation strategies combined with MS for the analysis of complex peptide mixtures.

96-Well solid-phase extraction: a brief history of its development.

This communication describes the invention and further development of the first 96-well solid-phase extraction system and the original purposes to which it was put. We also describe the adaption of this system for bioanalysis of pharmaceutically active small molecules and the needs underlying it. The system has become a world-wide standard for high-throughput bioanalysis and has been extended by others to include, for example, disk-phase extraction and supported liquid-liquid extraction, as well as 384-well systems. The factors that enabled this leap forward in productivity are discussed.

On-line multidimensional liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis systems for peptides and proteins.

Peptides and proteins are gaining increasing attention in biosciences and, consequently, in analysis. This overview highlights the different approaches to couple on-line various separation techniques for the determination of proteins and peptides. The first section discusses the liquid chromatography (LC)-LC coupling, the second one reviews the on-line LC-capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled systems and the third section summarizes the strategies for on-line CE-CE. The advantages, disadvantages, most relevant difficulties and particular systems for on-line coupling are discussed. Special attention is paid to the interface between the two dimensions. Applications are summarized in tables and a few typical examples are discussed. Many multidimensional separation methods are available, and it is demonstrated that peptide and protein mapping, or quantitation of proteins or peptides in various samples (aqueous solutions, cells, plasma) require different coupled systems. For mapping a semi-quantitative detection is often sufficient, while comprehensiveness is very important. For quantitation of a certain peptide or protein at a low concentration level a validated method should be used, while a heart-cut transport of the first dimension to the second one can offer sufficient selectivity. The combination with mass spectrometry as part of the total system is stressed and illustrated.
