Researchers develop new method for facile identification of proteins in bacterial cells
...s of microorganisms using traditional peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF). The key to the new method, according to the researchers, is a "shortcut" for preparing samples that makes PMF faster and more economical. By reducing the cost of protein identification, they believe PMF can become an economical tool for monito...DNA from feathers tells tale of eagle fidelity
