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]
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]

Protocol for stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). Protocol describes how to apply SILAC and the use of nano-scale liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for protein identification and quantification. This procedure can be completed in 8 days. - [Read Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino Acids in Cell Culture SILAC Protocol]
Searches are not constrained for only tryptic peptides, and indexed databases (databases only containing tryptic peptides) are not used. In cases where there are very complex mixtures, such as cell lysates, nonspecific cleavages can occur. Therefore, nontryptic peptides would be missed in the database search. - [Read The Use of Mass Spectrometry in Proteomics: Database Searching]
Tissue subcellular fractionation and protein extraction for use in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. Although many methods exist for fractionating proteins, the method described here can capture the majority of subcellular fractions simultaneously at reasonable purity. The scalability of this method makes it amenable to small samples, such as embryonic tissues, in addition to larger tissues. The protocol described is for the general fractionation and extraction of proteins from organs / tissue - [Read Tissue subcellular fractionation and protein extraction for use in mass-spectrometry-based proteomic]
