Current techniques in mass spectrometry (MS) allow sensitive and accurate identification of proteins thanks to the in silico availability of these protein sequences within databases. This chapter provides a short overview of MS techniques used in the identification of phage structural proteins and focuses on an electron spray peptide ionization (ESI-MS/MS) approach to identify the phage structural proteome in a comprehensive and systematic ways. Such analyses provide an experimental examination of structural proteins and confirm genome-based gene predictions.
由于数据库中这些蛋白质序列的计算机可用性,质谱(MS)的当前技术能够灵敏且准确地鉴定蛋白质。本章简要概述了用于鉴定噬菌体结构蛋白的质谱技术,并着重介绍了一种通过电喷雾肽电离(ESI-MS/MS)方法全面系统地鉴定噬菌体结构蛋白质组的方式。此类分析为结构蛋白提供了实验性检验,并证实了基于基因组的基因预测。
