Crown Bioscience leverages next-generation mass spectrometry platforms to overcome traditional proteomic challenges, offering distinct advantages:

The DIA (Data-Independent Acquisition) strategy, particularly diaPASEF, minimizes missing values and batch effects, ensuring highly reproducible quantification across large datasets. This enhances data parallelism and traceability.
Our platforms identify and quantify significantly more proteins, including low-abundance proteins, from smaller sample inputs. This is crucial for comprehensive proteome coverage and detecting subtle biological changes.

Optimized workflows allow for robust proteomic analysis with lower sample quantities, making our services suitable for precious clinical samples and challenging biological matrices.

Our robust and automated sample preparation combined with high-speed data acquisition allows for the efficient processing of thousands of samples, crucial for statistically powered biomarker discovery and validation studies.

Dedicated bioinformatics experts provide tailored data processing, statistical analysis, and biological interpretation, transforming raw data into actionable insights relevant to your research objectives.
Proteins are the primary executors of biological functions, and their activity levels often directly manifest disease states. While genomics provides information on gene potential, it cannot fully reflect the dynamic complexity of protein expression, localization, post-transcriptional modifications, and interactions, all of which profoundly impact cellular processes and disease pathogenesis. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics directly addresses this gap by enabling direct quantification and characterization of proteins, offering a more direct correlation to phenotypic changes. Given the inherent complexity and wide dynamic range of the proteome, advanced MS technologies are essential for achieving comprehensive coverage and accurate quantification.
The landscape of small molecule drug discovery has been revolutionized by the advent of induced targeted protein degradation, exemplified by PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and the emerging class of molecular glues. These innovative modalities harness the cell's inherent ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to selectively degrade pathological proteins, offering a novel therapeutic strategy. The intricate mechanisms governing PROTAC and molecular glue action necessitate the comprehensive application of advanced proteomics throughout their entire drug development lifecycle. This includes critical stages such as target identification and validation, lead compound optimization, mechanistic elucidation, and detailed preclinical characterization, providing essential insights for successful protein degrader development and targeted protein degradation strategies.
Our mass spectrometry-based proteomics services are uniquely positioned to support Targeted Protein Degradation research by providing crucial insights into:
Quantitative proteomics, including 4D-DIA, can precisely measure the degradation kinetics and extent of the target protein in various cellular models following PROTAC or molecular glue treatment. This is essential for confirming on-target degradation and understanding dose-response relationships.
Proteomics enables the identification of dynamic protein biomarkers that correlate with PROTAC/molecular glue efficacy or resistance in preclinical models, which can then be validated for clinical translation.
Comprehensive global proteomics profiling can identify unintended protein degradation events, which is critical for assessing PROTAC/molecular glue selectivity and minimizing potential off-target toxicities.
When resistance to PROTACs or molecular glues emerge, proteomics can help identify altered protein expression or pathway adaptations that contribute to the resistance phenotype, guiding the development of next-generation degraders.
While challenging, our PTM analysis capabilities can contribute to identifying specific ubiquitination sites on the target protein induced by PROTACs or molecular glues, providing molecular-level insights into the degradation pathway.
Beyond the direct target, global proteomics can map the broader cellular pathway perturbations induced by PROTAC/molecular glue treatment, offering a systems-level understanding of the compound's biological impact.
Our dedicated proteomics facility is equipped with a comprehensive suite of high-performance mass spectrometers and complementary technologies, ensuring leading-edge capabilities:

Our arsenal includes over 20 top-tier mass spectrometers, notably the Bruker timsTOF Pro and timsTOF Pro 2 series, and the Thermo Fisher Scientific Orbitrap Exploris™ 480. These instruments offer exceptional mass accuracy, resolution, and sensitivity.
We integrate additional separation dimensions through ion mobility spectrometry, including Bruker Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry (TIMS) and Thermo Fisher Scientific FAIMS technology. This orthogonal separation provides enhanced signal-to-noise, reduces sample complexity, and improves the confidence of peptide and protein identification and quantification.

Leveraging the proprietary diaPASEF (Data-Independent Acquisition Parallel Accumulation Serial Fragmentation) on timsTOF platforms, we achieve dramatically increased data acquisition speed and sensitivity without compromising coverage or quantitative accuracy.
Our workflows incorporate the Evosep One system, providing highly robust and reproducible ultra-low flow chromatographic separation, critical for maximizing peptide identification and quantification in large-scale studies.
Our systems are optimized for continuous analysis of thousands of samples, ensuring stable performance and reduced instrument downtime, which significantly enhances the reliability of batch analyses.
Crown Bioscience provides comprehensive bioinformatics support, transforming complex raw data into meaningful biological insights:

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, including their structure, function, and interactions. It provides a direct readout of cellular activity and biological processes. Unlike genomics or transcriptomics, proteomics offers insights into post-translational modifications (PTMs), protein localization, and protein-protein interactions, which are crucial for understanding disease mechanisms, drug action, and identifying biomarkers that directly correlate with physiological states.
