Presentation
Top-down protein mass spectrometry allows comprehensive characterization of proteoforms from complex mixtures and avoids many pitfalls associated with traditional bottom-up workflows. Moreover, proteoform analysis is strongly connected to diagnosis in complex phenotypes and can be key in clinical applications.
We will present several examples of top-down mass spectrometry for its use in translational proteomics and the latest advances in the field with Orbitrap instruments.
