High-efficient enrichment of glycopeptides prior to mass spectrometry is essential for glycoproteomics analysis. Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) approach is a prominent strategy for glycopeptides identification. In this work, glucose functionalized magnetic graphene hydrophilic nanocomposite (MagG/Au/Glu) was synthesized as a novel HILIC material via a facile surface modification strategy...
In proteomics research, the screening and monitoring of disease biomarkers is still a major challenge, mainly due to their low concentration in biological samples. However, the universal enrichment of intact proteins has not been further studied. In this work, we developed a Fe3O4-chitosan@graphene (Fe3O4-CS@G) core-shell composite to enrich low-abundance proteins from biological samples. Fe3O4-CS@G...

In this work, the bifunctional Fe3O4@Au-B(OH)2@mTiO2 core-shell core-shell microspheres were designed and synthesized for the selective enrichment of glycopeptides/ phosphopeptides. Due to the bifunctional property of the titanium dioxide and the boronic acid group, the microspheres were successfully applied to the enrichment of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides, evaluated by capturing phosphopeptides...
Capture and detection of targeted tumor cells provide a significant meaning in the early diagnosis and therapy of cancer. Nowadays, the development of advanced nanomaterials for cell capture is outstanding, however there still remain great challenges and extensible space.

A bioorthogonal Raman reporter-embedded Au-core and polydopamine-shell nanoprobe was initially designed and synthesized for live cell surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging in Raman-silent region. The firstly synthetic bioorthogonal Raman reporter (E)-2- ((4-(phenylethynyl) benzylidene)amino)ethanethiol (PBAT) provided intense Raman signal at 2220cm−1 in Raman-silent region. And its synthetic...
MCs is a group of potent hepatotoxic peptides produced by cyanobacterial in eutrophic water, among which microcystin-LR is the most abundant and toxic. Long-time accumulation of even trace dosage from drinking water would cause significantly hepatic injury to animal and humans. Here we reported a novel Cu2+-modified mesoporous silica coated magnetic graphene composite (magG@mSiO2@-Cu2+) through mild...
The enrichment and separation of phosphopeptides from mixed biological samples is a technologically very significance, but highly challenging work. Current designed materials are mainly based on the broad and effective adsorptive character of metal oxide affinity chromatography (MOAC). Though significant progress has been made in the enrichment of phosphopeptides with MOAC material, there are chances...
Highly efficient isolation of living tumor cells possesses great significance in research of cancer. Hence, we have designed the 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) derivative dendrimer-functionalized 3D network polyacrylamide/poly (methyl methacrylate) copolymer as capture substrate which is easily prepared, template free and low-cost. The structure of copolymer is compared to “fishing net” in order...
In this work, we have developed Ti4+-immobilized capillary trapping column (250μm i.d.) for highly specific on-line enrichment of phosphopeptides in the bio-samples. It minimizes the sample loss and improves the effectiveness of phosphopeptide detection that the limit of detection is as low as 1fmol/μL. It is successfully applied to the detection of phosphopeptides from complex biological samples,...
Analysis of protein N-termini is of great importance in helping to figure out important posttranslational modifications (PTMs) occurred in N-termini. Those PTMs include initial methionine removal, proteolytic cleavage, peptide signal processing, or N-terminal acetylation, which are usually neglected by conventional shotgun proteomics strategies. Herein, we develop a protein N-terminal peptides enrichment...
Simple, rapid and sensitive analysis of thrombin (a tumor biomarker) in complex samples is quite clinical relevant and essential for the development of disease diagnosis and pharmacotherapy. Herein, we developed a novel method based on aptamer-conjugated magnetic graphene/gold nanoparticles nanocomposites (MagG@Au) for specific enrichment and rapid analysis of thrombin in biological samples using...
Mass spectrometric technique has emerged as a preferred technique in the analysis of protein phosphorylation. Owing to the low stoichiometry of phosphopeptides and the signal suppression effect by non-phosphopeptides, there is a demand for efficient enrichment of phosphopeptides. The selective enrichment of phosphopeptides in modified eppendorf tubes prior to mass spectrometry analysis, which can...
Selective enrichment of phosphoproteins or phosphopeptides from complex mixtures is essential for mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics.

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications. Due to the dynamic nature and low stoichiometry of the protein phosphorylation, enrichment of phosphopeptides from proteolytic mixtures is necessary prior to their characterization by mass spectrometry.

The evaluation of compound-independent calibration (CIC) using gas chromatography (GC) with atomic emission detection (AED) is demonstrated by the identification of several sulfur or nitrogen compounds. Among other GC detectors, the advantage of using the AED is the selectivity of detection. Because contradictory results have been reported for the determination of numeric atomic ratios of elements,...
