QPNC-PAGE
QPNC-PAGE
QPNC-PAGE (pronunciation: /kjuː piː en siː peɪdʒ/) is a medical term that stands for Quantitative Post-translationally Modified Proteome Analysis using Coded Amino Acids and Gel Electrophoresis.
Etymology
The term QPNC-PAGE is an acronym derived from the words Quantitative, Post-translationally, Modified, Proteome, Analysis, Coded, Amino Acids, and Gel Electrophoresis.
Definition
QPNC-PAGE is a method used in biochemistry and molecular biology to separate and quantify proteins in a sample based on their size and charge. This technique is particularly useful for studying post-translational modifications of proteins, which can have significant effects on their function and activity.
Related Terms
- Proteomics: The large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.
- Post-translational modification: The chemical modification of a protein after its translation. It is one of the later steps in protein biosynthesis for many proteins.
- Amino acids: Organic compounds that combine to form proteins.
- Gel electrophoresis: A method for separation and analysis of macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins) and their fragments, based on their size and charge.
