Mass Spectrometry Analysis Strategies and Advances of Protein Modifications: Innovative Methods from Qualitative to Quantitative
Protein modification refers to the process of altering the structure and function of proteins by adding chemical groups or changing the chemical properties of amino acid residues. Different types of protein modifications play various regulatory roles within cells, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation. Mass spectrometry, as an efficient and accurate technical method, can achieve qualitative and quantitative analysis of protein modification types.
