Project description:The primary objective of this prospective observational study is to characterize the gut and oral microbiome as well as the whole blood transcriptome in gastrointestinal cancer patients and correlate these findings with cancer type, treatment efficacy and toxicity. Participants will be recruited from existing clinical sites only, no additional clinical sites are needed.
Project description:Genus-wide proteomics analysis of cobra (Naja) venoms. For top-down analysis, venom samples were reduced with TCEP and measured via HPLC-MS/MS (Q-Exactive) . Spectrum-Protein matching was performed with TopPic1.1 against a genus wide translated transcriptome database and NCBI protein entries from the najas.
For bottom-up analysis, HPLC separated fraction of venom were dried down, reduced with triethylphosphine and alkylated with 2-iodoethanol. HPLC-MS/MS experiments were performed on normalflow UHPLC-QTOF system (AB Sciex 5600 TripleTOF). Data analysis (PSM) was performed ProteinPilot version 4.0 and the transcriptome derived protein sequence database.
