Abstract
Protein quantification based on stable-isotope labeling mass spectrometry (SIL-MS) involves adding known quantities of stable-isotope labeled internal standards into biological samples. The internal standards are analogous to analyte molecules and quantification is achieved by comparing signals from isotope-labeled and analyte molecules. This methodology is broadly applicable to proteomics research, biomarker discovery and validation, and clinical studies; which require accurate and precise protein abundance measurements. One such internal standard platform for protein quantification are concatenated peptides (QconCAT). This paper describes a protocol for the design, expression, characterization, and application of the QconCAT strategy for protein quantification.Citation
