PROTEIN AND PROTEOMICS CENTRE (PPC)
A centre for research on proteins, peptides and functional genomics
The Protein and Proteomics Centre (PPC) is a multi-user core facility focused on advanced research in proteins with an emphasis on mass spectrometry. Areas of expertise include biomarker discovery, proteomics, quantitative proteomics, and structural mass spectrometry (Amide Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange MS and Ion Mobility MS). PPC works closely with academic and industrial partners in biomedical research.
Services
At the Protein and Proteomics Centre, our goal is to provide state-of-the-art mass spectrometry services and expertise while expanding MS applications across the Life Sciences spanning biology, chemistry and pharmacy.
We aim to build on our status as a Waters World Centre of Innovation in HDXMS and a SCIEX Regional Centre of Distinction to other areas of mass spectrometry applications through partnerships with individual researchers and industrial collaborations.
Core Services
- In-gel Protein Identification
Identification of protein from gel bands/spots by MS - Shotgun Protein Identification
Complex protein mixture (e.g. co-IP/pull-down sample) - Molecular Weight Determination
Determining molecular weight of intact protein in solution by MS - Post-Translational Modifications
Methods to study post-translational modifications such as sumoylation etc.
Collaborative Services
- Phosphoproteomics
Protein identification and phosphorylation analysis - Protein Structure, Dynamics and Interactions
Amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDXMS) - Quantitative Proteomics
Unbiased comparative quantification of proteomes using label-based (iTRAQ, iCAT, SILAC) or label-free (SWATH/DIA) technologies - Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Selective relative/absolute quantification of target molecules using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
