Interaction Networks
a way of showing interactions between proteins, domains, and peptides, and the affinity of the interactions
Affinity Threshold
a threshold KD value used to identify interactions above a certain strength
Subcellular Proteome
the group of proteins expressed in a specific part of the cell (such as mitochondria, …)
Ascorbate Peroxidase, APEX
peroxidase enzyme catalysing the oxidation of phenol derivatives to phenoxy radicals, used to add biotin to nearby proteins
Western Blot
analytical technique used to identify specific proteins in tissue homogenate or extract; also allows visualisation, distinguishing, and quantification of different protein in complex protein solutions
Selected Reaction Monitoring
mass spectrometry technique fragmenting individual ions from the first stage of mass spectrometry, detecting the mass/charge ratio of smaller ions after the fragmentation step; used for quantitative proteomics
Biomarker
a measurable indicator of a biological state, such as disease; can be used to determine therapeutic interventions
SPEG
a method to discover biomarkers in vivo, allowing cells, tissue, and blood plasma to be studied with label-free mass-spectrometry quantitation
Glycoprotein
proteins containing an oligosaccharide covalently attached to amino acid side chains through post-translational modification
Targeted Proteomics
process analysing a preselected group of proteins, such as biomarker panels in cancer progression
