Targeted mass spectrometry isotope analysis (i.e. selected reaction monitoring or SRM) is an alternative to antibody-based assays for the validation of clinically relevant biomarkers, but also has been employed for discovery-based quantitative proteomics (see example references below). One obstacle of this strategy is that every peptide possesses unique biochemical characteristics. Its amino acid composition and possible post-translational modifications defines its elution profile from the liquid chromatography column, ionization and fragmentation. For developing a diagnostic clinical MS assay, these peptide properties must be characterized with a synthesized peptide before analyzing the peptide of interest in vivo. Peptides also can be synthesized with heavy stable isotopes for absolute quantitation by spiking in a known amount of the heavy peptide into the biological sample. These strategies are also commonly employed to validate results from large scale quantitative proteomic analyses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does CIL provide catalog and custom-labeled peptides?
Stable-isotope labeled peptides are used in biomarker discovery and validation as well as in drug and metabolite monitoring, peptide signaling experiments, metabolomics, and pharmacokinetics. CIL is pleased to supply highly enriched and pure amino acids (both free and protected) to the world’s leading peptide manufacturers for synthesis activities.
Would 0.8 mM of lysine or arginine preloaded resins provide approximately 8 synthesis at 0.1 mM scale?
Yes, theoretically 0.8 mM of resin would provide 8 synthesis at 0.1 mM scale. Final yields are always dependent on actual sequence and the efficiency of the couplings.
Does CIL provide catalog and custom preloaded resins?
Yes. Through collaboration with NE Peptide, Inc. (NEP), CIL is pleased to offer synthesis-ready preloaded resins. For a list of our current offerings, please refer to our preloaded resins webpage, and see our preloaded resins flyer for more information.
