the folding of newly synthesized smooth muscle myosin motor domain placing this complex on the pathway leading to myosin maturation

viously. Briefly, an aliquot was thawed immediately before use, 1:1 diluted with 2 M urea, 10 mM NH4OH, 0.02% SDS, filtered using Centrisart ultracentrifugation filter devices to remove higher molecular weight proteins, desalted on a PD-10 desalting column, equilibrated in 0.01% NH4OH in HPLC-grade H2O, lyophilized, stored at 4uC, and resuspended in HPLC-grade H2O shortly before CE-MS analysis. CE-MS analysis was performed using a P/ACE MDQ capillary electrophoresis system on-line coupled to a Micro-TOF MS as described.

Further refinement of the presented models will be necessary for future clinical application. Methods Patients and Procedures Proteomic data processing and cluster analysis MosaiquesVisu software was used to deconvolve mass spectral ion peaks representing identical molecules at different charge states into single masses. Migration time and ion signal intensity were normalized using internal polypeptide standards that are unaffected by any disease state studied to date. All detected polypeptides were deposited in a Microsoft SQL database, allowing comparison of multiple samples. Statistical methods, definition of biomarkers and sample classification Statistical calculations were carried out in MedCalc version 8.1.1.0. Confidence intervals were estimated based on exact binomial calculations. The reported unadjusted p-values were calculated using the natural logarithm-transformed intensities of the CE-MS spectra and the Gaussian approximation to the tdistribution. Statistical adjustment for multiple testing was performed by the method described by Benjamini and Hochberg. Disease-specific polypeptide patterns were generated using SVM based MosaCluster software. The algorithm has been recently described. Briefly, MosaCluster uses Gaussian basis radial functions as kernel function to map the data into the high dimensional feature space, where the separating hyperplane can be defined. Ideally, the hyperplane should separate the subjects into two non-overlapping groups, what is often impossible in reality. The accuracy of an SVM model is largely dependent of the selection 23630290 of model parameters like cost and kernel width. C controls the trade off between allowing training errors and forcing rigid margins and c controls the width of SVM kernel. To optimize this parameters gird search method was used: the model was evaluated via cross validation at many points within the gird for each parameter to destine the best possible parameter combination.
