Protein Identification-Digestion (in-gel or in-solution)

Among the endoproteases which could be used for protein digestion, the serine protease trypsin is most commonly employed as it generates peptides which are highly amenable to MS(/MS) analysis. Depending on the preceding workflow, the enzymatic digestion of proteins is performed either in-gel or in-solution, generally, the in-gel digestion methodology has become routine for proteins separated by 2-D electrophoresis while in-solution digestion are usually used in LC-MS/MS analysis. The protein is cut enzymatically into a limited number of shorter fragments during digestion and these fragments are called peptides and allow for the identification of the protein with their characteristic mass and pattern.More information, please visit the website: http://www.creative-proteomics.com/Services/Digestion-in-gel-or-in-solution.htm
