For protein expression analysis of sulfhydryl components by mass spectrometry.
The cysteine-reactive Thermo Scientific iodoTMT* (Tandem Mass Tag*) Reagents and Labeling Kit enable measurement of protein and peptide cysteine modifications (S-nitrosylation, oxidation and disulfide bridges) by multiplex quantitative mass spectrometry.
Tandem Mass Tag* (TMT*) Reagents enable concurrent identification and multiplexed quantitation of proteins in different samples using tandem mass spectrometry. The iodoTMT* Reagents are sets of isobaric (mass and structure) isomers that are iodoacetyl-activated for covalent, irreversible labeling of sulfhydryl (–SH) groups. Similar to iodoacetamide, iodoTMT Reagents react specifically with reduced cysteines (Cys) in peptides and proteins. IodoTMT Reagents can be differentiated by mass spectrometry (MS), enabling quantitation of the relative abundance of cysteine modifications, such as S-nitrosylation, oxidation and disulfide bonds, in cultured cells grown or treated with different conditions.
Highlights:
Specific – only reacts with sulfhydryl groups (reduced, unmodified cysteine residues)
Irreversible – labeled proteins and peptides are not susceptible to reducing agents
Flexible – options for duplex isotopic (MS) or sixplex isobaric (MS/MS) quantitation
Versatile – can be used to study cysteine modifications (e.g. di-sulfide bridges, S-nitrosylation)
Product Details:
IodoTMT Products replace our previously offered CysTMT* Reagents, which utilized a dithiopyridine reactive group to reversibly label cysteine sulfhydryls. For information about customized reagent sets, please contact our Large Volume and Custom Sales Department.
