Article Abstract

Pulldown experiments isolate molecular interactions using a "bait" molecule on solid supports, often leveraging the biotin-streptavidin system. Here, a streamlined workflow is described, which employs biotinylated inositol phosphate (InsPs) and inositol pyrophosphate (PP-InsP) probes to enrich target proteins from complex proteomes. The reagents are first immobilized onto streptavidin-coated beads, then exposed to cell lysates, and subsequently washed to remove nonspecific interactions. The enriched proteins are then eluted and analyzed via western blot or quantitative mass spectrometry. This approach leverages biotin-tagged probes to enhance coupling efficiency, simplify workflows, and enable diverse applications.

Age-Stratified Reference Ranges for Directly Measured Serum Free Testosterone in Community-Dwelling and Healthy Men.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

September 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Ghent University Hospital; Department of Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, Ghent University, Corneel Heymanslaan 10, 9000 Ghent, Belgium.

Context: Direct measurement of serum free testosterone (FT) may help evaluate hypogonadism in men. However, up to present, availability of reference ranges for measured FT (mFT) is limited.

Objective: To establish age-stratified reference ranges for mFT in healthy and community-dwelling adult men.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been gaining increasing focus in a variety of applications including emerging electric-propulsion concepts. A quantitative understanding of how IL ions fragment during high-energy collisions with background gases is therefore essential for interpreting mass spectra, predicting ion lifetimes in plasma and vacuum environments, and designing IL-based technologies. This work uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a reactive force field to numerically model the collision-induced dissociation (CID) of isolated ions (both positive and negative) and ion clusters (2:1 and 1:2 clusters) of the prototypical ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM-BF), colliding with a nitrogen (N) molecule, exploring all possible fragmentation channels arising from the breaking of both ionic and covalent bonds at collision energies ranging from 10 electron volts (eV) to 100 electron volts (eV) in the laboratory frame.

Background: According to traditional Chinese medicine, based on the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and treatment, obesity can be classified into two broad types, namely, "shi obesity" and "xu obesity." The aim of this study was to explore the differences in metabolite levels between these two types of obesity.

Methods: Q Exactive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze the metabolites in the sera of 30 healthy adults, 30 adults with shi obesity, and 30 adults with xu obesity.

On-DNA Binder Confirmation: Increasing Confidence in DEL Hits.

J Med Chem

September 2025

Encoded Technologies, Molecular Modalities Discovery, GSK, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02140, United States.

DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) are used throughout small-molecule drug discovery to identify new lead compounds for protein targets. DEL hits are traditionally evaluated via off-DNA resynthesis and subsequent biological testing. This approach can be time- and resource-intensive, limiting the number of putative hits selected for follow-up.

A single-laboratory ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the estimation of tetraniliprole, BCS CQ 63359, spirotetramat and its metabolites from chilli and brinjal (commonly known as eggplant, aubergine or guinea squash) samples for assessing the dissipation kinetics and dietary risk assessment of field-applied tetraniliprole and spirotetramat. The control samples of brinjal and chilli fortified with tetraniliprole, spirotetramat and their metabolites at three levels of 0.01, 0.
