Statistically, accurate protein identification is a fundamental cornerstone of proteomics and underpins the understanding application this technology across all elements medicine biology. Proteomics, as branch biochemistry, has in recent years played pivotal role extending developing science accurately identifying biology interactions groups proteins or proteomes. Proteomics primarily used mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques for proteins, although other including affinity-based...

Abstract Although HPV-positive OPSCC is associated with better prognosis than HPV-negative disease, ~30% of cases relapse despite curative-intent radiotherapy (+/- chemotherapy). We aimed to develop a proteomic signature risk recurrence within HPV+OPSCC. analysed tumor specimens from 124 patients T1-4N0-3M0 HPV+OPSCC: 50 residual or recurrent disease 5 years treatment and 74 age performance-status matched no recurrence. Proteomic analysis was performed on archival FFPE primary core biopsy...

Histone deacetylases (HDAC) are metal-dependent enzymes and considered as important targets for cell functioning. Particularly, higher expression of class I HDACs is common in the onset multiple malignancies which results deregulation many target genes involved growth, differentiation survival. Although substantial attempts have been made to control irregular functioning by employing various inhibitors with high sensitivity towards transformed cells, limited success has achieved epigenetic...

Credible detection and quantification of low abundance proteins from human blood plasma is a major challenge in precision medicine biomarker discovery when using mass spectrometry (MS). In this proof-of-concept study, we employed mixture selected recombinant DDA libraries to subsequently identify (not quantify) cancer-associated SWATH/DIA. The exemplar protein spectral library (rPSL) was derived tryptic digestion 36 that had been previously implicated as possible cancer biomarkers both our...
