  • Rapid identification of proteins and their corresponding source organisms by gas phase fragmentation and identification of protein biomarkers
    Patent number: 8160819
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the identification of proteins using laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, the identification of source organisms from which the identified proteins are derived and a computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for the identification of proteins using mass spectra generated through the application of laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry of the proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2012
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
