Background: The numerous methods and techniques employed in proteomics investigations generate vast quantities of heterogeneous data, both results and provenance. A standard representation of proteomics data and techniques is urgently required in order to document a proteomics investigation. A standard representation will facilitate data exchange, verification and further analysis, and pr...

two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-d electrophoresis) is a powerful and extensively used method for analysis of complex protein mixtures extracted from cells, tissue, or other biological samples such as helminth parasites including, f. hepatica. each spot on the resulting two-dimensional collection corresponds to a single protein species in the sample. this study was carried out to detect of gs...

In continuous lines of cultured Drosophila cells two forms of cytoplasmic actin, designated II and III, are detected after a 25- to 120-min pulse label with [35S]methionine. However, only one of these, actin II, accumulates in the cell. With the use of a pulse-chase protocol and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, it has been found that actin III is synthesized as a precursor of the more stabl...

We have used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to study the structural transition to the triplex H form of sequences 5'-AAGGGAGAAXGGGGTATAGGGGYAAGAGGGAA-3' where X and Y are any DNA bases. The transition was observed at acid pH under superhelical stress. For X = Y = A or X = Y = G the sequences corresponded to homopurine-homopyrimidine mirror repeats (H-palindrome) which are known to adopt th...

Core histones have been isolated from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and compared electrophoretically to core histones from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and rat liver. The molecular masses of all cognate histones examined were found to be very similar as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis. Histones H3, H2A and H2B from Sch. pombe migrated almost identically to their respective counterparts from S. ce...

This report demonstrates directly, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and alloantisera, the following: (a) The DR4 light chains show a structural polymorphism among the Dw4, DKT2, and DYT cells. (b) Most of the class II light chains consist of the DR light chain. (c) The MT3 molecule is distinct from the DR4 molecule in the Dw4, DKT2, and DYT cells. (d) The MT3 molecule does not show any...

2DE and 2D-DIGE based proteomics analysis of serum from women with endometriosis revealed several proteins to be dysregulated. A complete list of these proteins along with their mass spectrometry data and subsequent bioinformatics analysis are presented here. The data is related to "Investigation of serum proteome alterations in human endometriosis" by Dutta et al. [1].

The electrophoresis chromatography, a popular analysis tool, is able to separate different kinds of protein pro£les. In this paper, we present a robust comparative algorithm Maximum Relation Spanning Tree (MRST) for matching large scale and large sets of two dimensional protein gel electrophoresis (2DGE) chromatography images without the need of a priori landmark. The algorithm not only can han...
