The success of affinity proteomic methods is dependent on well-characterized affinity binders. Antibodies are the classic affinity binders, and the availability of antibodies is constantly increasing. However, their suitability for a given proteomic method is often context-dependent and requires evaluation of their binding selectivity. One powerful proteomic platform for characterizing the binding selectivity of antibodies is the planar antigen microarray. In this chapter, we describe our in-house developed procedures for generating high-density planar antigen microarrays with an antigen content of 42,100 unique protein fragments. We provide details regarding the assay protocol used for the assessment of the binding selectivity of polyclonal antibodies produced by the Human Protein Atlas.

Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the circulating carrier of retinol, complexes with transthyretin (TTR) and is a potential biomarker of cardiometabolic disease. However, RBP4 quantitation relies on immunoassays and Western blots without retinol and TTR measurement. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous absolute quantitation of circulating RBP4 and TTR is critical to establishing their biomarker potential.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

ACP-105 (CAS: 1048998-11-3) is a novel non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), increasingly detected in anti-doping analyses, yet lacking a comprehensive ADME profile. This study provides the first integrative in silico characterization of ACP-105's ADME properties using seven independent methods (ADMETlab 3.0, ADMET Predictor 12.

The unregulated use and improper disposal of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly phenylbutazone (PBZ), are contaminating water resources and posing serious risks to the food chain. PBZ is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for treating pain and fever in animals, and its persistence in the environment due to inadequate waste management has become a cause of concern. To address this, we report the fabrication of benzimidazole-based self-assembled nanomicelles (R2 NMs) for selective detection and removal of PBZ.

Kinases are activators of well‑known inflammatory cascades implicated in metabolic disorders, and abnormal activation of casein kinase II (CK2) is associated with several inflammatory disorders. However, thus far, its role in the low‑grade chronic inflammatory response known as 'metaflammation', which is a hallmark of obesity and type 2 diabetes, has not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of CK2 in diet‑induced metaflammation and the effects of the CK2 inhibitor 4,5,6,7‑tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) on a murine model fed a high‑fat‑high‑sugar (HFHS) diet.
