 QuickQuan- High-throughput LC/MS for Discovery Quant.  
Agenda: To eliminate drugs with unsuitable properties as early as possible in the drug development process, pharmacokinetic (PK) screening is getting more and more attention in early drug discovery. Due to the large number of compounds and samples that have to be analyzed at this stage, it becomes a necessity to automate the optimization of the mass spectrometer and data acquisition for each compound. This Webinar will focus on how QuickQuan enables high-throughput discovery Quant...

 Software: Confident Protein ID Searches with BioWorks 3.2  
SEQUEST® allows the most sensitive searches of protein and peptide data, delivering highly confident search results without missing important proteins. BioWorks has been enhanced by a probability-based scoring algorithm in addition to the traditional SEQUEST scores. This rigorous score gives SEQUEST users more confidence that SEQUEST will not miss any important proteins and that the probability algorithm will provide an objective likelihood of a hit. The peptide hits are...

 Proteomics Application: Top-Down Analysis of Human Plasma Proteome  
Characterization of the plasma proteome is a daunting analytical task due to the large number of proteins thought to be present and the extremely large dynamic range of their concentrations. Historically, several different analytical approaches have been incorporated to identify proteins belonging to the low molecular weight (LMW) plasma proteome, including various enrichment schemes and numerous bottom-up mass spectrometric analyses. For bottom-up analysis, the protein is digested with an enzyme to give a mixture of peptides which are identified from database analysis of their CID fragmentation spectra to lead to the identity of the source protein. By contrast, top-down analysis enables...
