Zeins are a class of prolamine proteins extracted from maize, and are extensively used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, characterization of its components is essential for quality control and safety evaluation. However, zein proteins have low abundance of the trypsin targets lys...
Protein C-termini study is still a challenging task and far behind its counterpart N-termini study. The identification of C-termini is often hampered by low ionization response in MS and fewer efficient enrichment methods existing. We previously optimized the C-TAILS (C-terminal amine-based isotope ...
An innovative approach merging both the bottom-up and middle-down ideologies to provide fast, robust and comprehensive solutions for proteomics studies. The methodology, referred to as MELD for Multiple-Enzymatic Limited Digestion, capitalizes on a single two-hour long proteolytic step involving the...
A new approach to sample preparation and enzymatic digestion in bottom-up proteomics has been developed using alginate-based hydrogel entrapment of enzymes. This hydrogel facilitates rapid and room-temperature digestions with multienzyme capabilities. Three methodologies were tested: within microcen...
This study, conducted under a high-concentrate finishing context, used an integrated multi-omics approach to evaluate the effects of an Alkaline Mineral Complex (AMC) on jejunal digestion–absorption and gut health in beef cattle. The results showed that AMC alleviated mucosal pathological injury ...
