title: Comparison of MS/MS methods for protein identification from 2D-PAGE.
abstract: We have compared the use of a low resolution MALDI-Ion Trap MS/MS and a high-resolution ESI-TOF-MS/MS for the analysis of spots from 2D gels. The main criteria were speed and accuracy of protein identification. The results obtained using the MALDI-MS/MS system are comparable to those from the LC-MS/MS system in terms of accuracy, but less low-level proteins are identified while the time required for the analysis is dramatically reduced.
