Protein Oxidative Modification Analysis Service

Protein oxidative modifications are generally induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals. These ROS are generated through multiple pathways in living organisms, including mitochondrial respiration, enzymatic redox reactions, and exposure to radiation. While protein oxidative modification is a natural physiological process, excessive ROS production or insufficient removal can cause excessive oxidation, impairing protein function and potentially leading to cellular damage.

 

Advancements in molecular biology and biochemistry have positioned proteomics mass spectrometry as the primary method for investigating protein oxidative modifications. This technique allows for the precise identification of oxidatively modified amino acid residues and their chemical structures, facilitating detailed exploration into the types and mechanisms of these modifications. Employing mass spectrometry enables high-throughput screening and quantitative analysis of protein modification sites, offering crucial insights into cellular oxidative stress responses and the mechanisms underlying associated diseases.
