Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems taking advantage of bioinformatic investigations to identify candidate signature peptides for quantitative multiplex analysis of complex protein samples from plants, plant parts, and/or food products using mass spectroscopy. Provided are use and methods for selecting candidate signature peptides for quantitation using a bioinformatic approach. Also provided are systems comprising a chromatography and mass spectrometry for using selected signature peptides.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for quantitative multiplex analysis of complex protein samples from plants using mass spectroscopy. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns methods for maintaining a transgenic plant variety, for example by analyzing generations of a transgenic plant variety for selective and sensitive quantitation of multiplexed transgenic proteins.

Abstract: Application-specific midsoles and method of designing midsoles are described herein. The midsole includes a plurality of cells that extend generally upward from a generally flat support structure and provide the ability to selectively attenuate the ground reaction forces that result when one engages in activities associated with the application for which the shoe midsole is designed. The midsole comprises a plurality of zones. The shock attenuation properties of each zone is determined by the geometry of the cells in the zone and material composition of the midsole.
