Simplifying the Proteome: Analytical Strategies for Improving Peak Capacity

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2019:1140:501-513. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-15950-4_29.

Abstract

The diversity of biological samples and dynamic range of analytes being analyzed can prove to be an analytical challenge and is particularly prevalent to proteomic studies. Maximizing the peak capacity of the workflow employed can extend the dynamic range and increase identification rates. The focus of this chapter is to present means of achieving this for various analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and ion mobility. A combination of these methods can be used as part of a data independent acquisition strategy, thereby limiting issues such as chimericy when analyzing regions of extreme analyte density.
