Spectrometry is a fascinating field of analytical science that encompasses a range of techniques used to study the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter. Through the measurement and analysis of various radiations, spectrometry provides valuable insights into the composition, structure and properties of different substances. Spectrometry allows for the identification and quantification of proteins based on their characteristics and abundance. By comparing the mass spectrometry data obtained from the pulldown assay with databases of known proteins, it is possible to identify the interacting proteins with high confidence. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as one of the most important RNA-binding proteins, have emerged as key players in gene regulation, with nearly 80% of transcripts in human cells being lncRNA species. These nonprotein-coding transcripts, longer than 200 nucleotides, have shown great potential in various biological processes and diseases. However, their functional characterization remains a challenge due to their lower expression levels and the limitations of current techniques. Therefore, in this study, we aim to review spectrometry and its diverse types for application in the determination of general properties of RNA-binding proteins.
光谱分析是分析科学中一个引人入胜的领域,它涵盖了一系列用于研究电磁辐射与物质之间相互作用的技术。通过对各种辐射的测量和分析,光谱分析为不同物质的组成、结构和性质提供了有价值的见解。光谱分析能够根据蛋白质的特征和丰度对其进行鉴定和定量。通过将下拉分析获得的质谱数据与已知蛋白质数据库进行比较,可以高度自信地鉴定出相互作用的蛋白质。长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)作为最重要的RNA结合蛋白之一,已成为基因调控的关键参与者,人类细胞中近80%的转录本为lncRNA种类。这些长度超过200个核苷酸的非蛋白质编码转录本在各种生物过程和疾病中显示出巨大潜力。然而,由于其表达水平较低以及当前技术的局限性,对它们的功能表征仍然是一项挑战。因此,在本研究中,我们旨在综述光谱分析及其多种类型在RNA结合蛋白一般性质测定中的应用。
