Secondary Structure Prediction of proteins Vijay Hemmadi
Secondary structure prediction has been around for almost a quarter of a century. The early methods suffered from a lack of data. Predictions were performed on single sequences rather than families of homologous sequences, and there were relatively few known 3D structures from which to derive parameters. Probably the most famous early methods are those of Chou & Fasman, Garnier, Osguthorbe & Robson (GOR) and Lim. Although the authors originally claimed quite high accuracies (70-80 %), under careful examination, the methods were shown to be only between 56 and 60% accurate (see Kabsch & Sander, 1984 given below). An early problem in secondary structure prediction had been the inclusion of structures used to derive parameters in the set of structures used to assess the accuracy of the method.

Proteomics: types, protein profiling steps etc.Cherry
Proteome is a set of proteins produced in an organism, system, or biological context or entire set of proteins that is, or can be, expressed by a genome, cell, tissue, or organism at a certain expressed time in a given set of condition. Proteomics is the study of all the proteins produced by a cell.
Introduction to proteomics, techniques to study proteomics such as protein electrophoresis, chromatography and mass spectrometry and protein database analysis, case studies derived from scientific literature including comparisons between healthy and diseased tissues, new approaches to analyse metabolic pathways, comprehensive analysis of protein-protein interactions in different cell types.
Proteomics studies play an increasing role in the field of biology. The use of mass spectrometry (MS) in combination with a range of separation methods is the main principal methodology for proteomics. The two principal approaches to identifying and characterizing proteins using MS are the “bottom-up”, which analyze peptides by proteolytic digestion, and “top-down”, which analyze intact proteins.
A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA or complete genetic makeup, The entire DNA complement. It describes the identity and the sequence of genes of an organism.
Genomics is the study of entire genomes(structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes)
Executing the sequencing and analysis of entire human genome enables more rapid and effective identification of disease associated genes and provide drug companies with pre validated targets.
Proteomics is the systematic high-throughput separation and characterization of proteins within biological systems./ large scale study of protein and their functions.
Proteomics measures protein expression directly, not via gene expression, thus achieving better accuracy. Current work uses 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(2D- PAGE) and mass spectrometry.
New separation and characterization technologies, such as protein microarray and high throughput chromatography are being developed.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Proteomics
1. Proteomics – Tools and
Techniques
Presented By:
Dr. Shikha Thakur
Assistant Professor

Commerce
2. Introduction
• Proteomics is the study of the complete set of proteins expressed in
an organism or under a particular condition. In other words
Proteomics can be defined as the qualitative and quantitative
comparision of proteomes under different conditions to further
unravel biological processes.
• The number of proteins expressed from DNA changes constantly as a
result of altering conditions like eating, during sleep, as the result of
an infection or other disease. Proteomics aim to understand the
protein expression in response to such conditions.
3. • Proteomics is a new fundamental concept called proteome (PROTE in
complement to a genome) has recently emerged that should
drastically help phenomics to unravel biochemical and physiological
mechanisms of complex multivariate diseases at the functional
molecular level.
5. • Proteomics investigates on a large-scale the proteins expressed in a given
organism or biological system. A top-down proteomic approach aims to
identify characteristics of whole proteins, while bottom-up proteomics—
also known as shotgun proteomics—uses a high throughput workflow to
analyze complex mixtures containing hundreds to thousands of unique
proteins.
• Large amounts of proteomic data is increasingly being produced, often as a
complement to genomic results. As proteins are the functional
macromolecules directly driving cellular activity and physiology, proteomics
offers significant biological insights not readily addressed by genomics and
transcriptomics. These include studies in post-translational protein
modifications, spatial and temporal protein localization, the biochemistry
of metabolic pathways, protein interactions, and more.
6. Tools in Proteomics
• Cell lysis and extraction
• Cell Fractionation
• Protein concentration and Quantification
• Protein digestion
• Peptide cleanup and Mass spectometry
7. Cell Lysis and Extraction
• Cell lysis that precedes protein extraction can occur mechanically,
through homogenizers or sonicators , or chemical solubilization via
detergents and lysis buffers. While mechanical disruption offers an
advantage of maintaining a relatively native chemical environment,
reagents-based lysis via detergents or lysis buffers are generally more
accommodating to smaller sample volumes and higher throughput
processing. Ready-to-use protein extraction kits can offer a rapid,
straightforward solution for lysing cells and subsequent protein
collection.
8. Cell Fractionation
• Depending on the aim of the study, complex samples, such as whole
tissue and cell extracts, may require additional fractionation . This
step can ensure enrichment of proteins enriched in subcellular
locations, such as membrane proteins or nuclear proteins . Highly
abundant proteins can also limit peptide identification during LC-MS
analysis.
• Further fractionation, through the use of
centrifugation, chromatography or protein concentration kits , can
help to account for the variations in protein amounts and to
effectively capture lower abundance proteins.
9. Protein Concentration and Quantification
• Protocols leading up to protein digestion often specify a certain
amount of necessary sample protein. Protein concentration kits are
available when working with dilute or low-abundance protein
samples. Such kits may serve to further cleanup the sample by
desalting or buffer exchange. For protein quantification, a variety
of protein assay kits may be used, but be careful to consider any
detergent or buffer compatibilities.
10. Protein Digestion
• To generate peptides for mass spectrometric analysis, in-solution or
in-gel digestion are the two common strategies.
• With in-solution digestion, proteins can be denatured, digested,
alkylated and reduced in a single tube, making this option ideal for
less complex, detergent-sensitive, or low-volume samples. With in-gel
digestion, protein electrophoresis (typically SDS-PAGE) is used to first
separate and denature proteins, which are then digested while
embedded in a gel slice. Gel-based digestion is widely used in LC-
MS/MS analyses of complex samples. The choice of protease may
vary depending on the nature of sample proteins, trypsin being the
most common.
11. Peptide Cleanup and Mass Spectrometry
• As detergents and other contaminants obscure mass spectrometry
readings, peptides must be cleaned prior to analysis. The C18 reverse
phase is the most commonly used liquid chromatography stationary
phase resin for cleanup and can come in column, cartridge, or pipette
tip formats. MALDI “Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization."
and ESI “Electro Spray ionization” are the two choice ionization
methods leading up to MS and MS/MS analysis, with LC-ESI-MS/MS
systems being favoured for complex samples. Mass
spectrometry services that specialize in proteomic analyses are also
available.
12. Proteomics Techniques
• Molecular techniques
• Separation techniques
• Protein identification techniques
• Protein Structure techniques
13. Molecular techniques
• DNA Microarrays or Gene Chips
• Differential Display
• Northern/Southern Blotting
• RNAi (small RNA interference)
• Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE)
• Yeast two-hybrid analysis
14. SAGE
• A technique used to produce a snapshot of the messenger RNA
population in a sample of interest in the form of small tags that
corresponds to fragments of those transcripts, developed by Dr.
Victor Velculescu at the oncology Center of John Hopkins University
and published in 1995.
• Although SAGE was originally conceived for use in cancer studies, it
has been successfully used to describe the transcriptome of other
diseases and in a wide variety of organisms.

• Protein Chips (Protein microarray)
20. Protein array (protein chip)
• They are modeled after DNA microarrays, in 2000 at Harvard University.
• The success of DNA microarrays in large-scale genomic experiments
inspired researchers to develop similar technology to enable large-scale,
high-throughput proteomics experiments.
• Protein chips enable researchers to quickly and easily survey the entire
proteome of a cell within an organism.
• Applications include:
• Identifying biomarkers for diseases
• Investigating protein-protein interactions
• Testing for the presence of a protein (i.e. Ab) in a sample.

25. Protein Identification techniques
• Edman sequencing
• Microsequencing
• Mass spectroscopy
• Sequencing done for:
1. Protein’s amino acid – Three-dimensional structure
2. Sequence comparisions among analogous proteins – Protein
function and reveal evolutionary relationships.
3. Many inherited diseases are caused by mutations leading to an
amino acid change in a protein.
