O-glycosylation detection is essential for understanding one of the most prevalent forms of post-translational modification (PTM) found in proteins and peptides. O-glycosylation involves the covalent attachment of a sugar moiety—commonly N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), galactose, or xylose—to the hydroxyl group of serine (Ser) or threonine (Thr) residues via an O-glycosidic bond. This modification plays a critical role in regulating protein function, stability, and intercellular communication. Aberran......

• Cross-Linking Mass Spectrometry Techniques
Cross-linking mass spectrometry techniques integrate chemical cross-linking with mass spectrometry analysis to investigate spatial interactions between proteins and to elucidate the architecture of protein complexes. By applying cross-linkers containing reactive groups that form stable covalent bonds between neighboring amino acid residues within or between proteins, XL-MS enables the capture and identification of these interactions. This, in turn, provides valuable insights into the three-dimensional......

• Post-IP Mass Spectrometry Analysis
Post-IP mass spectrometry analysis is a powerful integrative technique for identifying the components of protein complexes and investigating protein–protein interactions. This approach begins with the immunoprecipitation (IP) of a target protein and its potential interaction partners using a specific antibody, followed by mass spectrometry (MS) to identify the co-precipitated proteins and examine their potential post-translational modifications. The key steps and considerations of this workflow are ou......

• Determination of Protein Molecular Weight by Electrophoresis
The determination of protein molecular weight by electrophoresis is a widely employed laboratory technique, most commonly performed using sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). This method leverages the ability of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) to bind uniformly to proteins, conferring a consistent negative charge and enabling separation based on molecular weight. The following outlines the fundamental principles and procedural steps of this method: Principle 1. Role of ......

• High Throughput Single Cell Sequencing
High throughput single cell sequencing enables comprehensive profiling of the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome at the resolution of individual cells. This technique has demonstrated considerable utility in medical research, particularly in oncology. Tumors typically consist of highly heterogeneous cell populations. By applying single cell sequencing, researchers can identify distinct subpopulations within tumors and gain deep insights into their unique gene expression profiles and mutational landscapes.
