Protein acetylation is the most common type of acylation modification, which refers to the process of covalently bonding acetyl groups (such as acetyl-CoA and other donors) to lysine residues of substrate proteins under the catalysis of acetyltransferases , mainly occurs at the ε-NH2 position of protein lysine residues, and its molecular mass will increase by 42.01Da accordingly. Mass spectrometry can accurately determine whether the corresponding mass shift occurs in the molecular weight, and realize the analysis of acylated modified peptides and sites.
Protein acetylation modification is jointly regulated by acetyltransferase and deacetylase, and changes by sensing changes in the metabolic environment. At the same time, it is often modified on metabolic enzymes, thereby regulating metabolic pathways and activities of metabolic enzymes, and participating in changes in downstream metabolites. Lifeasible provides acetylation and other acylation analysis services for insect proteins to quantify acetylated modification proteins of insect.

Lifeasible uses mass spectrometry and enrichment processing to qualitatively and quantitatively modify acetylated proteins, and to perform large-throughput detection of the modified sites of modified peptides. Based on a mass spectrometer, we perform acetylation differential proteomics analysis through data-dependent acquisition-synchronized cumulative sequential fragmentation scanning mode. We use ion mobility separation to effectively distinguish modified isomeric polypeptides based on molecular shape and cross-sectional area properties, greatly improving the depth of modification identification. With less sample loading and faster scanning speed, the comprehensive improvement of proteomics in terms of coverage depth, sensitivity and throughput has been realized.
