Cuantificacion Absoluta de Peptidos

Categorías: Metodología de Investigación, Información General

La cuantificacion absoluta determina la concentracion real de un peptido en una muestra. Es esencial para aplicaciones clinicas y de investigacion.

Resumen Simplificado

Los estandares isotopicos pesados (SIS) permiten cuantificacion absoluta por dilucion isotopica.

Principios de cuantificacion

Cuantificar requiere referencia. Relative quantification. Comparar condiciones. Fold change. Up or down. Absolute quantification. Real concentration. Moles per gram. Nanograms per mL. Units defined. Principles. Calibration curve. Known concentrations. Measure response. Build curve. Unknown concentration. Interpolate from curve. Internal standard. Correct for variability. Ionization efficiency. Matrix effects. Recovery losses. Stable isotope standards. Identical chemistry. Different mass. Co-elution. Same behavior. Perfect correction. Absolute quantification. Requires standards. Without standard. Only relative. Quantification is fundamental. For clinical translation.

SIS son estandares ideales. Composition. Same sequence. Heavy isotopes. C13, N15, H2. Labeling positions. Full labeling. All carbons C13. All nitrogens N15. Partial labeling. Specific positions. Arg +10 Da. Lys +8 Da. Synthesis. Recombinant expression. In C13/N15 media. Complete labeling. Chemical synthesis. Heavy aminoacidos. During SPPS. Labeling choice. Depends on application. C-terminal labeling. For proteotypic peptides. Full labeling. For proteins. Properties. Identical chromatography. Co-elution. Same retention time. Same extraction. Same digestion. MS response. Nearly identical. Small isotope effect. Correction factor. Apply if needed. SIS are gold standard. For absolute quantification.

AQUA es metodo establecido. Absolute QUAntification. Concept. Synthetic peptide. Heavy labeled. Identical to target. Added known amount. Before or after digestion. Quantify ratio. Light to heavy. Calculate concentration. Workflow. Select peptide. Proteotypic. Unique. Good MS response. Synthesize heavy version. Known concentration. Add to sample. Process. LC-MS/MS. Measure both. Calculate. Ratio x SIS amount = Target amount. Considerations. Digestion efficiency. If SIS added after. Native may be undercounted. Protein digestion. Variability. Intact protein SIS. Added before digestion. Corrects for digestion. AQUA is validated. Clinical proteomics.

Metodos PRM y SRM

PRM y SRM son metodos targeted. SRM. Selected reaction monitoring. Triple quadrupole. Q1 select precursor. Q2 fragment. Q3 select fragment. Transition. Precursor -> fragment. Multiple transitions per peptide. Quantification. Peak area. Transition intensity. Ratio to SIS. PRM. Parallel reaction monitoring. High resolution. Orbitrap or TOF. Select precursor. Fragment all. Detect all fragments. High resolution. Advantage. All fragments measured. Better specificity. Transition selection. Not needed. Quantification. Extracted ion chromatogram. XIC. For each fragment. SRM advantages. Mature technology. High sensitivity. Well established. PRM advantages. High resolution. Better selectivity. Simpler method development. Both use SIS. For absolute quantification.

Preguntas frecuentes

Que es un estandar isotopico pesado?
Version de un peptido o proteina donde atomos normales (C12, N14, H1) son reemplazados por isotopos pesados (C13, N15, H2). Tiene identicas propiedades quimicas pero diferente masa. Usado como internal standard para cuantificacion absoluta.
Cual es la diferencia entre SRM y PRM?
SRM (triple quadrupole) selecciona precursor y fragmentos especificos secuencialmente, midiendo transiciones predefinidas. PRM (high-resolution) fragmenta el precursor y detecta todos los fragmentos simultaneamente con alta resolucion. PRM es mas especifico pero SRM puede ser mas sensible.
Que es LLOQ?
Lower Limit of Quantification. La concentracion mas baja que puede cuantificarse con precision y exactitud aceptables. Tipicamente definido como S/N > 10, precision <20% CV, exactitud 80-120%. Por debajo es LOD (detection only).
Por que se usa weighted regression en curvas de calibracion?
Porque la variabilidad no es constante a traves del rango de concentracion (heteroscedasticidad). A concentraciones bajas, errores relativos son mayores. Weighting (1/x o 1/x2) da mas peso a puntos bajos, mejorando precision en el lower end de la curva.
