  • the compounds and methods are useful for analyzing the proteome.
  • SNPs single nucleotide polymorphisms
  • an industrial scale e.g., MassARRAYTM and the MassARRAY® system, Sequenom, Inc., San Diego, Calif.
  • pooled samples to study the frequency of SNPs in populations of various gender, ethnicity, age and health condition.
  • the ultimate goal of these efforts is to understand the etiology of disease on the molecular level (e.g., based on genetic variances (pharmacogenomics)), to develop diagnostic assays and effective drugs with few or no side-effects.
  • Genomics has fallen short of the original expectation that this strategy could be used to stratify a population relative to a defined phenotype, including differences between normal and disease patient population or populations. Although single genetic markers have been found to be associated with or cause or predict a specific disease state, genomic information may not be sufficient to stratify individual populations by of the association of an SNP (or SNPs) with a given disease, drug side-effect or other target phenotype.
  • RNA messenger RNA
  • analyses using expression DNA chips e.g., GeneChipTM technology, Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, Calif.; LifeArrayTM technology, Incyte Genomics, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.
  • the metabolic activities in a cell are not performed by mRNA but rather by the translated proteins and subsequently posttranslationally modified products, such as the alkylated, glycosylated and phosphorylated products.
  • proteomics encompasses the study of individual proteins and how these proteins function within a biochemical pathway. Proteomics also includes the study of protein interactions, including how they form the architecture that constitutes living cells. In many human diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes as well as host responses to infectious diseases, the elucidation of the complex interactions between regulatory proteins, which can cause diseases, is a critical step to finding effective treatment. Often, SNPs and other nucleic acid mutations occur in genes whose products are such proteins as (1) growth related hormones, (2) membrane receptors for growth hormones, (3) components of the trans-membrane signal pathway and (4) DNA binding proteins that act on transcription and the inactivation of suppressor genes (e.g. p53) causing the onset of disease.
  • suppressor genes e.g. p53
  • Proteins form the important structural and functional machinery of the cell, and are the molecular entities with which nearly all of today's marketed drugs interact. Proteins are thus drug targets. Most pharma companies are investing heavily to extract truly promising drug targets from their sea of unvalidated targets derived from gene-based approaches. Typically the mechanism of action defining how drugs act upon their targets is poorly understood; for some marketed drugs the target is not even known. Furthermore, identifying “non-target” proteins with which the drug interacts to trigger side effects has been especially elusive. It is believed that side effects of many drugs could be diminished with a greater understanding of the mechanism of action involving their target and the non-target proteins.
  • Drug programs are discontinued for a variety of reasons (e.g., lack of efficacy compared to placebo), but about half of the terminations relate to clinical safety and toxicity.
  • reasons e.g., lack of efficacy compared to placebo
  • the developments of many ill-chosen lead drug compounds are halted late in clinical trials after many years and millions of dollars have been spent.

The matrix is selected so that it absorbs the laser radiation. In these methods, a laser, such as a UV or IR laser, is used to strike the biomolecule/matrix mixture, which is crystallized on a probe tip or other suitable support, thereby effecting desorption and ionization of the biomolecule. In addition, MALDI-MS has been performed on polypeptides, glycerol, and other liquids as a matrix.

  • Flow cytometry is a method, somewhat analogous to fluorescent microscopy, in which measurements are performed on particles (cells) in liquid suspension, which flow one at a time through a focused laser beam at rates up to several thousand particles per second. Light scattered and fluorescence emitted by the particles (cells) is collected, filtered, digitized and sent to a computer for analysis. Typically flow cytometry measures the binding of a fluorochrome-labeled probe to cells and the comparison of the resultant fluorescence to the background fluorescence of unstained cells.
