  • Systems and methods for the analysis of protein phosphorylation
    Patent number: 7026167
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of applying mass spectrometry to analyzing peptides or proteins, especially in the proteome setting. More particularly, the invention relates to a mass spectrometry-based method for detection of protein/peptide phosphorylation wherein the side chains of glutamic acid and/or aspartic acid residues of said peptides or proteins are chemically modified as to improve the selectivity/efficiency of identification of the phosphorylated protein/peptide.
