Abstract
Quantitative targeted proteomics has recently taken front stage in the proteomics community. Centered on multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) methodologies, quantitative targeted proteomics is being used in the verification of global proteomics data, the discovery of lower abundance proteins, protein post-translational modifications, discrimination of select highly homologous protein isoforms and as the final step in biomarker discovery. An older methodology utilized with small molecule analysis, the proteomics community is making great technological strides to develop MRM-MS as the next method to address previously challenging issues in global proteomics experimentation, namely dynamic range, identification of post-translational modifications, sensitivity and selectivity of measurement which will undoubtedly further biomedical knowledge. This brief review will provide a general introduction of MRM-MS and highlight its novel application for targeted quantitative proteomic experimentations.Mesh：
