A Statistical Model of Proteolytic Digestion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a stochastic model of proteolytic digestion of a proteome, assuming the distribution of parent protein lengths in the proteome, the relative abundances of the 20 amino acids in the proteome, and the digestion “rules” of the enzyme used in the digestion. We derived a closed form expression for the fragment mass distribution for a large class of enzymes including the widely used Trypsin. The expression uses the distribution of lengths in a mixture of proteins taken from a proteome, as well as the relative abundances of the 20 amino acids in the proteome. The agreement between theory and the in silico digest is excellent.

Probing Conformational Feature of a Recombinant Pyruvate Kinase by Limited Proteolysis
Pyruvate kinase is a key enzyme in glycolytic pathway that catalyzes the transphosphorylation between phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to yield ATP and Pyruvate. Geobacillus stearothermophillus has a stable pyruvate kinase with determined crystal structure that composed of four separate domains. Given that limited proteolysis experiments can be successfully used to probe conformational features of p...

متن کاملA model for random sampling and estimation of relative protein abundance in shotgun proteomics.
Proteomic analysis of complex protein mixtures using proteolytic digestion and liquid chromatography in combination with tandem mass spectrometry is a standard approach in biological studies. Data-dependent acquisition is used to automatically acquire tandem mass spectra of peptides eluting into the mass spectrometer. In more complicated mixtures, for example, whole cell lysates, data-dependent...

Milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. The release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. Peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...
