Chapter 23, Problem 6EQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The use of tandem mass spectroscopy for determining the sequence of a peptide which in turn, can determine the sequence of the entire protein.

Introduction:

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique used for the identification of different proteins by measuring the mass of the peptide fragment. It is most commonly employed for finding out the sequences of proteins. Tandem MS- derived its name as the technique involves two mass spectrometry steps.
