What proteomic instrumentation/methods will be used?
• Two state-of-the-art Thermo Finnigan LTQ ion trap mass spectrometers will be used for high sensitivity, nanospray (nL/min flow rates) LC/MS/MS using 75 micron i.d. nanobore columns. All data is searched against protein sequence databases using the SEQUEST algorithm. If MALDI-TOF analysis is requested we will use our Applied Biosystems DE PRO MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer.
