This video demonstrates titanium dioxide-based enrichment of phosphopeptides extracted from prostate tumor tissue. These enriched phosphopeptides can be used for downstream applications such as protein characterization to understand cell signaling pathways involved in prostate cancer progression.
Protocol
1. Titanium Dioxide Enrichment of pY Peptides Resuspend the dried down phosphopeptides in 200 µL of 50% ACN, 0.1% TFA. Vortex and centrifuge them at 10,000 x g for 30 s. Repeat this 1x to resuspend them well. Preparing the TiO2 beads contained in tips that have a capacity for 200 µL samples. Gently tap on the small tip-side of the tip to move the material to that end. Rinse the tip by adding 200 µL of 100% ACN, followed by inverting the…
