'Signature sets', minimal fragment sets for identifying protein disulfide structures with cyanylation-based mass mapping methodology.

چکیده
Our cyanylation (CN)-based methodology for determining disulfide structure of cystinyl proteins overcomes the limitations of conventional proteolytic methods. However, the CN-based method has the potential drawback that occasionally some CN-induced cleavage fragments may not be detected. We show that CN-based methods can overcome the failure to detect fragments by demonstrating the existence of small 'signature sets' of fragments. The link between signature sets and the robustness of CN-based methodology is validated by two case studies.

Automated data interpretation based on the concept of "negative signature mass" for mass-mapping disulfide structures of cystinyl proteins.
An efficient method for data processing and interpretation is needed to support and extend disulfide mass-mapping methodology based on partial reduction and cyanylation-induced cleavage to proteins containing more than four cystines. Here, the concept of "negative signature mass" is introduced as the novel feature of an algorithm designed to identify the disulfide structure of a cystinyl protei...
متن کاملProbing the Folding Pathways of Long R Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (LRIGF-I) and IGF-I via Capture and Identification of Disulfide Intermediates by Cyanylation Methodology and Mass Spectrometry*
This report describes an integrated investigation of the refolding and reductive unfolding of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and its variant, long R IGF-I (LRIGF-I), which has a Glu to Arg substitution and a hydrophobic 13-amino acid N-terminal extension. The refolding performed in glutathione redox buffer was quenched at different time points by adjusting the pH to 2.0–3.0 with a 1 N HCl s...
متن کاملUncertainty analysis of hierarchical granular structures for multi-granulation typical hesitant fuzzy approximation space
Hierarchical structures and uncertainty measures are two main aspects in granular computing, approximate reasoning and cognitive process. Typical hesitant fuzzy sets, as a prime extension of fuzzy sets, are more flexible to reflect the hesitance and ambiguity in knowledge representation and decision making. In this paper, we mainly investigate the hierarchical structures and uncertainty measure...
متن کاملAn integrated multi-criteria decision-making methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets for selection among energy alternatives in Turkey
Energy is a critical factor to obtain a sustainable development for countries and governments. Selection of the most appropriate energy alternative is a completely critical and a complex decision making problem. In this paper, an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed for selection among energy alternatives. Then a roadmap has been cr...
متن کاملA novel fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methodology based upon the spherical fuzzy sets with a real case study
The choice of roll stabilization system is critical for many types of ships. For warships where operational activities are fast and the concept of time is very effective, determining the most appropriate of these systems is of particular importance. Some operations, such as the landing of the helicopter on board, are critical for naval ships. Unwanted rolling motion makes this difficult. In add...
