Hypothetical (HyP) and conserved HyP genes account for >30% of sequenced bacterial genomes. For the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, 347 of the 3634 genes were annotated as conserved HyP (9.5%) along with 887 HyP genes (24.4%). Given the large
In proteomics, proteolytic peptides are often chemically modified to improve MS analysis, peptide identification, and/or to enable protein/peptide quantification. It is known that such chemical modifications can alter peptide fragmentation in collision induced dissociation MS/MS. Here, we investigated the fragmentation
The separation of 5'-adenosine di- and triphosphates from inorganic pyrophosphate or imidodiphosphate can be accomplished with reverse-phase HPLC by using a solvent system buffered by triethylammonium bicarbonate (pH 6.7). This buffer was used because it was neutral, readily volatile at
The use of triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) solution in electrospray mass spectrometry proved to be a very efficient way for studying proteins or noncovalent protein complexes under "nondenaturing" conditions. The low charge states observed in the mass spectra improve the separation
