Protein fingerprinting

Protein fingerprinting

Protein fingerprinting can refer to any of the several methods for identifying or differentiating proteins:
*Peptide mass fingerprinting, a method developed in 1993 that uses protein mass spectrometry following SDS-PAGE
*Older techniques using two-dimensional chromatography and/or protein electrophoresis
