Abstract

Proteins and peptides can be analyzed using mass spectrometry (MS) using a range of techniques, including matrix-aided laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). These techniques make it possible to determine a protein's mass as an intact molecule or to identify a protein using peptide-mass fingerprinting that is produced during enzymatic digestion. The amino acid sequence of proteins (top-down and middle-down proteomics) and peptides (bottom-up proteomics) can be ascertained by fragmenting the proteins and peptides using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Furthermore, post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins and peptides can be identified using tandem mass spectrometry. In this article, we go over the use of MS/MS in biomedical research and provide concrete examples of how to identify proteins, peptides, and their PTMs as useful biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment. In numerous applications, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has shown to be a practical and efficient analytical method for the direct detection of target compounds in food samples. It combines the power of MS/MS as an identification and confirmation approach with the separation capabilities of chromatography when used with chromatographic techniques.
