Development of an LC-MS/MS peptide mapping protocol for the NISTmAb

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Catherine A. Mouchahoir, John E. Schiel
Peptide mapping is a component of the analytical toolbox used within the biopharmaceutical industry to aid in the identity confirmation of a protein therapeutic and to monitor degradative events such as oxidation or deamidation. These methods offer the

FEASST: Free Energy and Advanced Sampling Simulation Toolkit

March 1, 2018
Author(s)
Harold W. Hatch, Nathan Mahynski, Vincent K. Shen
The Free Energy and Advanced Sampling Simulation Toolkit (FEASST) is a free, open-source, modular program to conduct molecular and particle-based simulations with Metropolis, Wang-Landau and Transition-Matrix Monte Carlo methods. FEASST is implemented in C

Examining Heat Treatment for Stabilization of the Lipidome

February 16, 2018
Author(s)
John Bowden, Candice Z. Ulmer, Christina Jones, Tracey Johnston, Jeremy P. Koelmel, Timothy J. Garrett, Richard A. Yost
Aim: To confidently determine lipid-based biomarkers, it is important to minimize variation introduced during preanalytical steps. We evaluated reducing variation associated with lipid measurements in invertebrate sentinel species using a state-of-the-art

Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) The Department of Defense has announced an award of $80M to the non-profit Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) located in Manchester, NH, led by Dean Kamen: www.armiusa.org. This award

Effects of Distal Residues Mutations on the Structure, Dynamics and Catalysis of Human Monoacylglycerol Lipase

January 29, 2018
Author(s)
Sergiy Tyukhtenko, Girija Rajarshi, Ioannis Karageorgos, Nikolai Zvonok, Elyssia S. Gallagher, Hongwei Huang, Kiran Vemuri, Jeffrey W. Hudgens, Alexandros Makriyannis
An understanding of how conformational dynamics modulates function and catalysis of human monoacylglycerol lipase (hMGL), an important pharmaceutical target, can facilitate the development of novel modulatory ligands. Here, we report the discovery and

Counting Caenorhabditis elegans: Protocol Optimization and Applications for Population Growth and Toxicity Studies in Liquid Medium

Author(s)
Steven Lund, Sanem Hosbas Coskun, Monique Johnson, Christopher Sims, Elijah Petersen, John T. Elliott, Bryant C. Nelson, Leona D. Scanlan, Shannon K. Hanna, Karina Brignoni, Patricia Lapasett
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is used extensively in molecular, toxicological and genetics research. However, standardized methods for counting nematodes in liquid culture do not exist despite the wide use of nematodes and need for accurate

Controlled Potential Electrooxidation of Genomic DNA

January 11, 2018
Author(s)
Vytautas Reipa, Donald H. Atha, Sanem Hosbas Coskun, Christopher M. Sims, Bryant C. Nelson
Exposure of mammalian cells to oxidative stress can result in DNA damage that adversely affects many cell processes. We used bulk electrolysis in an electrochemical system and gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis (GC/MS/MS) to control and

Quantitative analysis of the impact of a human pathogenic mutation on the CCT5 chaperonin subunit using a proxy archaeal ortholog

Author(s)
Darion Spigolon, David Travis Gallagher, Adrian Velazquez-Campoy, Donatella Bulone, Jatin Narang, Pier San Biagio, Francesco Cappello, Alberto J. Macario, Everly Conway de Macario, Frank Robb
The human chaperonin complex is a 1 MDa nanomachine composed of two octameric rings formed from eight similar but non-identical subunits called CCT. Here, we are elucidating the mechanism of a heritable CCT5 subunit mutation that causes profound neuropathy

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloprotease-2: bioprocess development, physicochemical, biochemical and biological characterization of highly expressed recombinant protein

December 1, 2017
Author(s)
Ananda Chowdhury, Robert G. Brinson, Beiyang Wei, William G. Stetler-Stevenson
Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloprotease -2 (TIMP-2) is a secreted, 21 kDa, multifunctional protein. It was first described as an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) that prevents protease-mediated breakdown of the extracellular matrix often
