She will present their recent work on the quantitation of acetaminophen modified serum albumin in both a rat model a nd in an acute liver failure cohort\, while explaining the steps needed to develop a method to measure exact amounts of modified protein. They have used a surrogate protein level standard to account for all losses during s ample prep and yield a surrogate calibration curve for the modified analyt e peptide. They have then applied the use of this surrogate standard to st udy acetaminophen modifications on different glutathione-S-transferases.\n \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\n\nLekha Sleno received her PhD in chemistry from Dal housie University in 2006\, where her work involved small molecule mass sp ectrometry. She then completed two postdoctoral fellowships at the Univers ity of Geneva in Switzerland (in pharmaceutical analytical chemistry) and the University of Toronto (at the Donnelly CCBR in proteomics research). S he is currently associate professor in the chemistry department at UQAM (U niversité du Québec à Montréal). Her research interests include bioanalyti cal mass spectrometry applied to metabolomics and covalent binding of reac tive drug metabolites.\n\nThis talk is opened to anyone interested in lear ning more about Mass Spectrometry and its applications will obtain a great deal from these monthly workshops.\n\nFor more information:anca.baesu [at ] mail.mcgill.ca ( Anca Baesu)\;stephane.bayen [at] mcgill.ca ( Dr Stéphan e Bayen)\n\n \n DTSTART:20181107T170000Z DTEND:20181107T180000Z LOCATION:MS2-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:Targeted quantitation of covalently modified proteins URL:/macdonald/channels/event/targeted-quantitation-co valently-modified-proteins-291281 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
