Proteins, among the most complex and diverse biomolecules, have their primary structures serving as the foundation for their higher structural and functional characteristics. These structures, formed by amino acids—the basic units of life—linked through peptide bonds, determine proteins' three-dimensional configurations and profoundly influence their interactions with ligands, enzymatic activities, and roles in cellular signaling. Thus, a detailed analysis of protein primary structures is crucial for comprehending life phenomena, drug development, biotechnological optimizations, and disease diagnostics and treatments.
MtoZ Biolabs employs an LC-MS/MS analytical platform integrated with bioinformatics to offer protein primary structure analysis services. This platform enables the precise determination of amino acid sequences and modification sites, including critical post-translational modifications like phosphorylation, glycosylation, and ubiquitination, thereby accurately characterizing the primary structures of target proteins.
