摘要:

随着质谱技术的不断发展,质谱技术已经被广泛应用于化学、材料、生命科学等众多领域,特别是其在生物化学与化学生物学领域的应用极大扩展了研究人员对于蛋白质翻译后修饰的认知。本文从基本的质谱原理入手,着重探讨了质谱技术在以组蛋白为模式蛋白的赖氨酸翻译后修饰的发现过程,并展示如何将基础有机化学和生物化学知识融入前沿科学研究。本文通过梳理不同的研究逻辑下质谱技术在蛋白翻译后修饰的研究中发挥的作用,旨在引导学生建立起将基础教学内容与实际应用相联系的意识及思维模式。

Abstract:

Rapid development of mass spectrum technology (MS) brings about its wide applications in many fields such as chemistry, material science and life sciences, and its application in biochemistry and chemical biology have been greatly expanding the knowledge of novel protein post-translation modification (PTM). This manuscript starts from the basic principles of mass spectrum and later elaborates the application of MS in discovering lysine post-translation modifications over histones as model proteins, showing a path incorporating fundamental organic chemistry and biochemistry knowledge into cutting-edge researches. By analyzing roles of mass spectrum throughout post-translation modification studies under different research logistics, this manuscript was aimed to help establishing a way of thinking that associates fundamental chemistry and biology education with practical applications for students.
