Proteomics & Metabolomics

In addition to doing work on existing IGBB projects, the IGBB proteomics staff can perform a variety of mass spectrometry and other proteomics services for MS State principal investigators and IGBB collaborators.  Such research can be performed through a Proposal Partnership, a Research Agreement, or the Service Center.

The IGBB's proteomics staff has considerable expertise in...

• Protein isolation/purification from all types of organisms/tissues
• 1D & 2D gel electrophoresis
• Gel- and non-gel-based mass spectrometry
• Protein identification
• Discovery and characterization of post-translational modifications;
• Quantitative proteomics
• Comparative proteomics & metabolomics
• Western blotting & protein visualization
• Integration of proteomic and nucleic acids data (e.g., proteogenomic mapping)
• Functional annotation of proteins using Gene Ontology (GO) standards and procedures

With regard to mass spectrometers, the IGBB's proteomics staff utilizes a ThermoFisher LTQ Orbitrap Velos, a Waters Nano ESI Q-TOF (model Xevo G2-S), and an Applied Biosystems (now ThermoFisher) MALDI TOF TOF. The LTQ Orbitrap Velos and the Nano ESI Q-TOF are fitted with upstream HPLC sample purification systems.

To discuss the possibility of having the IGBB conduct proteomics research in collaboration with you, please submit a ticket through the MyIGBB HelpDesk.  An IGBB proteomics consultant will respond to your query as quickly as possible (usually within 24 hours).

A listing of IGBB Standard Services and their prices -- including information and prices for Training and Self-Service Equipment Usage -- is available in the Standard Services Catalog in MyIGBB and in PDF form via the link below.
