Post-translational modification (PTM) represents one of the core mechanisms regulating protein function, and lysine acetylation has emerged as one of the most intensively studied PTM types following phosphorylation. Acetylation is involved in diverse biological processes, including transcriptional regulation, metabolic control, cell cycle progression, and signal transduction. Aberrant acetylation patterns are closely associated with various diseases, such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, and .......

• How Mass Spectrometry Enables High-Precision Quantification of Phosphorylated Proteins?
Protein phosphorylation is among the most prevalent and functionally significant post-translational modifications, playing a pivotal role in diverse biological processes such as cell signaling, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. However, phosphorylation sites typically exhibit low abundance, a wide dynamic range, and susceptibility to enzymatic degradation, all of which pose significant challenges for high-precision quantification of phosphorylated proteins. Mass spectrometry (MS), as the ......

• How Protein Lactylation Affects Gene Expression: Mechanistic Insights
Research on protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) continues to reveal the intricate complexity of cellular regulation. Among these, protein lactylation has emerged as an important new focus in epigenetic studies. As a novel lysine modification, in addition to acetylation and methylation, lactylation not only participates in the metabolism–transcription regulatory network but may also play critical roles in diverse biological processes, including tumorigenesis, immune regulation, and stem cell ....

• How to Use SILAC-Based Proteomics to Reveal Dynamic Protein Expression Changes?
Dynamic alterations in protein expression under varying physiological conditions, signal stimulation, or pharmacological intervention provide critical insights into cellular regulatory networks and mechanistic processes. Compared with endpoint-based detection methods, dynamic proteomics emphasizes capturing the temporal progression of changes at multiple time points rather than merely observing the differences in final outcomes. Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC), as a ......

• What Is ABPP and Why It Is Transforming Functional Proteomics?
What Is ABPP? Activity-Based Protein Profiling (ABPP) is a chemical probe–based proteomic strategy specifically designed to detect the catalytically active states of enzymes, rather than merely measuring their expression levels. ABPP employs Activity-Based Probes (ABPs) that selectively and covalently label the catalytic sites of active enzymes, thereby enabling the identification of enzymes with confirmed functional activity in complex biological samples. This technique represents a close integration of...

• How SILAC Technology Enhances the Accuracy of Protein Expression Analysis?
Monitoring dynamic changes in protein expression is fundamental to understanding disease mechanisms, identifying drug targets, and advancing cell biology research. However, conventional protein quantification methods, such as dye labeling, Western blotting, or label-free quantification, often suffer from substantial inter-batch variability, limited quantitative precision, and poor reproducibility. Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) represents a transformative advance, enabling...

• How PRM Proteomics Supports Biomarker Validation?
Biomarkers are essential tools for early disease diagnosis, prognosis assessment, and therapeutic monitoring, and have become a focus of intensive research in biomedicine. However, how can clinically meaningful biomarkers be screened and validated from among tens of thousands of proteins? Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM), a highly specific and high-throughput targeted protein quantification technique, has emerged as a pivotal approach for advancing biomarker research from candidate identification to .....

• How Does Bottom-Up Proteomics Achieve Precise Quantification?
Bottom-up proteomics, also referred to as analytical proteomics, is a mainstream strategy in proteome research. In this approach, complex protein samples are enzymatically cleaved, most commonly with trypsin, into peptides, which are subsequently identified and quantified using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). From these peptide-level data, the composition and abundance of the original proteins are inferred. This method offers high throughput, exceptional sensitivity, and broad....
