Stable isotope coded labels enable researchers to perform mass spectrometric- based proteomics studies in the absence of metabolic labeling. Labeling occurs by site-specific incorporation of stable isotope labeled tags at cysteine residues or the general labeling of amines and carboxyl groups in protein samples. These techniques are particularly useful for applications where metabolic labeling is impractical or undesirable such as clinical samples. Many methods for the chemical derivatization of proteins exist (1-3) offering researchers the ability to optimize stable isotope label incorporation based on target proteins. In addition to stable isotope labeled tags, the development of innovative matrixes and improvements in instrumentation greatly impact stable isotope usage in quantitative proteomics (4-5). ISOTEC has the high-quality isotopically enriched products needed for mass-spectrometry based quantitative proteomics. Consult with our R&D scientists to develop novel stable isotope labeled compounds for use in comparative proteomic applications.
