Multiple peptide synthesizer for biochemical and biophysical studies
EF 2010-11
Résumé
This grant application is for the acquisition a Multiple Peptide Synthesizer. This instrument will allow for the cost efficient preparation of large number of synthetic peptides that will be used for various types of biochemical and biophysical experiments.
One principal use of these peptides will be as references to detect low abundance peptides present in biological samples by a mass spectrometry technique called selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Another use will for studying the interactions for proteins with their peptide ligands. Finally, the instrument will be used to prepare peptides to study the substrate specificity for phosphorylation by various kinases.
Dr Lajoie is an expert in peptide chemistry and proteomics. The co-applicants, Drs Konermann, Yeung and Postovit are expert in related fields and are from the Departments of Biochemistry, Chemistry and Cell biology and have a track record of collaborative research.
