Examining hemodialyzer membrane performance using proteomic technologies

Examining hemodialyzer membrane performance using proteomic technologies

The success and the quality of hemodialysis therapy are mainly related to both clearance and biocompatibility properties of the artificial membrane packed in the hemodialyzer. Performance of a membrane is strongly influenced by its interaction with the plasma protein repertoire during the extracorporeal procedure. Recognition that a number of medium-high molecular weight solutes, including prot...

Advances in proteomic technologies.

Proteomics is a rapidly emerging set of key technologies that are being used to identify proteins and map their interactions in a cellular context. With the sequencing of the human genome, the scope of proteomics has shifted from protein identification and characterization to include protein structure, function and protein-protein interactions. Technologies used in proteomic research include tw...

Progress on Membrane Distillation and Related Technologies

common proteomic technologies, applications, and their limitations

proteomics refers to the analysis of expression, localization, functions, posttranslational modifications, and interactions of proteins expressed by a genome at a specific condition and at a specific time. current proteomic tools allow large-scale, high-throughput analyses for the detection, identification, and functional investigation of proteome. in this review, we have focused on the proteom...

Membrane proteomic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana using alternative solubilization techniques.

This study presents a comparative proteomic analysis of the membrane subproteome of whole Arabidopsis seedlings using 2% Brij-58 or 60% methanol to enrich and solubilize membrane proteins for strong cation exchange fractionation and reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A total of 441 proteins were identified by our Brij-58 method, and 300 proteins were detec...
