Article: Research reports from Amgen, Inc. provide new insights into proteomics.

"Covalent modifications on therapeutic proteins are traditionally monitored by chromatographic techniques, which quantify limited number of protein modifications at a time. In this report, computer algorithms for automated analyses of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) data for large-scale identification and quantification of known and unknown modifications are described," scientists in the United States report (see also Proteomics).

"Peptide identification is achieved by comparing the experimental fragmentation spectrum to the predicted spectrum of each native or modified peptide. Peak areas of related peptide ions under their ...
