What Is 4D Label-free Quantitative Proteomics

In protein research, the limitations of traditional proteomics techniques, such as the sensitivity and scanning speed of MS, often fall short of scientific expectations. Consequently, many researchers have turned to labeled quantitative methods. However, with the advent of the timsTOF Pro's ion mobility platform and the ddaPASEF (data-dependent acquisition parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation) mode, 4D label-free proteomics has emerged as a transformative approach. Label-free proteomics compares the relative abundance of proteins in different biological samples without the use of stable isotope labeling or chemical labeling. 4D separation technology identifies low abundance protein signals that are masked under 3D conditions by separating ion mobility. The combination of the two significantly improves coverage, sensitivity, accuracy, and throughput, while also saving expensive isotope costs. It makes cost-effective quantitative proteomics prote.

The Principle of 4D Label-free Quantitative Proteomics

It performs quantitative analysis via the ddaPASEF data acquisition mode. In the ddaPASEF method, multiple precursor ions are stored in an ion mobility tube and then sequentially fragmented, enabling hundreds of MS/MS detections per second. At the same time, it can measure the ion mobility information of peptide segments. 4D label-free quantitative proteomics significantly improves protein detection speed and coverage with higher sensitivity and speed than conventional techniques. It is a new protein analysis method enhanced by the traditional unlabeled method for higher performance.
