Cell Signaling Technology Discusses Challenges and Opportunities of Post-translational Modifications and Data-Independent Acquisitions in Educational Webinar
YORBA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB) October 01, 2018 -- Identification and quantification of post-translational modifications (PTMs) presents a unique challenge to proteomic studies. Often, PTMs feature low abundances, and many possible functionally distinct locations may exist within each protein. Although label-free data-independent acquisitions (DIA, or SWATH®Acquisition) have been extensively used for global proteomics workflows and quantification of proteins, so far there are only few studies applying DIA to study PTMS.
In this webinar, which is sponsored by Cell Signaling Technology, the speaker will present several DIA-PTM studies, specifically of phosphorylated as well as acylated proteins using different affinity-enrichment approaches. They will examine case studies specifically using Cell Signaling Technology affinity enrichment kits for our work (PTMScan® affinity enrichment kits for acetylation/succinylation and PTMScan® Direct Tyrosine and Serine/Threonine Kinases Reagents).
Participants will learn to use simultaneous affinity enrichment workflows by combining different PTM antibodies for ‘one-pot enrichment’ approaches, as well as the applications involving stable isotope labeled PTM-peptides.
The speaker for this event will be Dr. Birgit Schilling, an associate professor and director of the Mass Spectrometry Core at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Her research focuses on protein chemistry and modern mass spectrometric technologies to advance the field of Proteomics mainly in the context of Aging Research. She is directly involved in a wide variety of research projects, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, molecular mechanisms of aging, and mass spectrometric method development that will benefit biological projects.
LabRoots will host the webinar on October 30, 2018, beginning 10 a.m. PDT, 1 p.m. EDT. To learn more about this event and the speaker, discover the continuing education credits offered, or to register for free, click here.
