ISSN:0975-1459 A novel micro protein precipitation was proposed and employed effectively for bio-sample preparation of only 5 μl of human plasma for rapid liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometric (LC-MSMS) determination of gemcitabine (dFdC) and its deaminated metabolite, 2’, 2’-difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU).). Gemcitabine-13C, 15N2 Hydrochloride was the internal standard. Baseline chromato...

The erythrocyte cytoplasmic proteome is composed of 98% hemoglobin; the remaining 2% is largely unexplored. Here we used a combinatorial library of hexameric peptides as a capturing agent to lower the signal of hemoglobin and amplify the signal of low to very low abundance proteins in the cytoplasm of human red blood cells (RBCs). Two types of hexapeptide library beads have been adopted: amino-...

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is involved in a number of different cellular processes including metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation and survival. It is a redox-sensitive dual-specificity protein phosphatase that acts as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. While direct evidence of redox regulation of PTEN downstream signaling has been reported, the eff...

Markov state models (MSMs) and master equation models are popular approaches to approximate molecular kinetics, equilibria, metastable states, and reaction coordinates in terms of a state space discretization usually obtained by clustering. Recently, a powerful generalization of MSMs has been introduced, the variational approach conformation dynamics/molecular kinetics (VAC) and its special cas...

in this paper a fast and novel stability-indicating ultra fast lc method for separation and estimation of impurities in clopidogrel and aspirin in their combined tablet dosage form and omeprazole was developed. the separation of usp related substances of clopidogrel (a, b and c), aspirin (d), omeprazole (a, b and c) and few other unknown impurities was detected by using ultra fast liquid chroma...

A database searching approach can be used for metabolite identification in metabolomics by matching measured tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) against the predicted fragments of metabolites in a database. Here, we present the open-source MIDAS algorithm (Metabolite Identification via Database Searching). To evaluate a metabolite-spectrum match (MSM), MIDAS first enumerates possible fragments from a m...
