Application

The N-TER Nanoparticle siRNA Transfection System is a peptide-based system for use in the transient knockdown of eukaryotic gene expression. The N-TER Peptide binds siRNAs non-covalently, forming a nanoparticle. This nanoparticle interacts directly with lipids on the surface of the plasma membrane, allowing the nanoparticle to diffuse across the cell membrane and deliver the siRNA directly to the cytoplasm. Unlike most lipid-based transfection methods, this novel delivery mechanism bypasses the endosomal pathway, eliminating possible compartmentalization and degradation of the siRNA.

Validation of RNAi Knockdown Using Multiple Reaction Monitoring and Protein-AQUA

The field of proteomics is continually looking for new ways to investigate protein dynamics within complex biological samples. Recently, many researchers have begun to use RNA interference (RNAi) as a method of manipulating protein levels within their samples, but the ability to accurately determine these protein amounts remains a challenge. Fortunately, over the past decade, the field of proteomics has witnessed significant advances in the area of mass spectrometry. These advances, both in instrumentation and methodology, are providing researchers with sensitive assays for both identification and quantification of proteins within complex samples. This discussion will highlight some of these methodologies, namely the use of Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) and Protein-AQUA.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
