Proteomic Analysis by Mass Spectrometry LC-MSMS

Overview

Mass spectrometry is the main technique used in the Proteomics field, helping in the identification of proteins after trypsin digestion, localization of putative post-translational modifications, and evaluation of relative quantification, from simple to complex protein samples.

Details

• Date: July 2026 (precise dates to be given as soon as possible)
