The scanning transmission electron microscope precision and reproducibility of mass measurements are comparable with those of the analytical ultracentrifuge, the possibility of determining the mass not only of entire supramolecular assemblies but also of their distinct components has opened exciting new avenues which have occasionally been entered but are not yet fully explored. Includes: Principle and application (The GroEL:GroES complex). - [Read Imaging and Measuring Biomolecules & Their Assemblies by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy]

Protocol describes how to determine the monosaccharide composition of glycans, glycoproteins, or proteoglycans by hydrolyzing the sample to monosaccharides and converting them to alditols, then performing acetylation to make them volatile compounds and analysis by gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). - [Read Monosaccharide Composition Analysis: Alditol Acetates Protocol]
Protein complexes can be isolated by several different approaches. For example, a protein can be tagged with an epitope such as Flag or TAP and then overexpressed in a target cell, allowing the interacting proteins to be purified. Similarly, epitope tags can be homologously recombined into the endogenous locus ("knocked-in"), allowing protein complexes containing the tagged proteins to be isolated at their natural expression level. - [Read Overview of Affinity Purification in Combination with Mass Spectrometry Protocol]
Details a placenta specific gene manipulation by transducing blastocysts with lentiviral vectors1. After a removal of zona pellucida which functions as a physical barrier, trophoblast cells lying outermost layer of blastocyst were transduced from outside with high-titer lentiviral vectors. As most placental cells descend from trophoblast cells while fetus originated from inner cell mass, transgene expression can be observed in trophoblast cells from preimplantation stages and in placenta... - [Read Placenta Specific Gene Manipulation by Transducing Zona-Free Blastocyst using Lentiviral Vector]
This method of sample preparation produces a uniform layer of very small crystals on the mass spectrometer's sample stage that are mechanically well adhered to the substrate. It is a variant of the dried droplet method. PROWL - [Read Polycrystalline thin films Sample Preparation Protocol MALDI]
Protocol is specifically for the further enrichment of phosphopeptides from a phosphotyrosine pull-down. This is the final step for the preparation and enrichment of phosphopeptides using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) for the identification of the phosphopeptides by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). - [Read Preparation and Enrichment of Phosphopeptides from Phosphotyrosine Protocol]
