NBIC HotTopics meeting: Peptide and protein quantification using Mass Spectrometry

Date:: 05 Mar 2012
Location:: HR Kruyt Building, De Uithof, Utrecht

To date in addition to protein identification, quantification of abundances of proteins and peptides is common practice. In general there are stable isotope labeling, label-free and MSn approaches to obtain abundance levels of proteins using mass spectrometry. Each technique has its pro's and con's with differences in applicability and computational approaches. In the HotTopics Proteomics meeting an overview of these techniques will be shown, followed by the detailed presentation of the current state of the art of these three approaches. Finally the HotTopics Proteomics meeting will conclude by addressing the need for follow-up analysis using pathway or network discovery methods.

Keywords: proteomics, peptides, quantification, statistics, mass spectrometry

NBIC HotTopics are a series of NBIC meetings committed to bringing scientists together to discuss the concepts and methods on a hot topic in their research field. It should provide a platform to keep in touch with peers in the field and foster sharing of new insights, applications and collaborations. Therefore, the aim of the meeting is not to present the latest results of your own work, but rather to identify new trends and breakthroughs in the field in general.
