Bottom up proteomics of cryptocyanin protein and anti-tumor Thomsen–Friedenreich neoglycoconjugate vaccine
In this thesis, two different kinds of complex biomolecules were examined: cryptocyanin protein of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) and carbohydrate-protein neoglycoconjugate vaccine using mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The main objective of the first study was to determ...

The main objective of the first study was to determine structural changes in snow crab cryptocyanin protein.

The purified molting and non molting cryptocyanins were sequenced by using matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and collsion induced dissocation tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS/MS).
