• • Advantages and Limitations of Targeted Proteomics

  As life science research transitions from “discovery” to “validation,” greater demands have been placed on the accuracy, reproducibility, and quantitative capabilities of proteomic data. Targeted Proteomics has therefore emerged as a critical bridge between basic research and clinical translation. In particular, technologies such as Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) and Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM), known for their high controllability and reproducibility, have been widely employed in areas .........

• • Protein Full-Length Sequencing: Complete Sequence Coverage Scheme with High Precision and Low Sample Size

  In life sciences and biopharmaceutical development, the structural and functional characteristics of proteins are intrinsically linked. Comprehensive knowledge of a protein’s full-length sequence is fundamental for understanding its biological functions, identifying mutation sites, and characterizing post-translational modifications. Conventional mass spectrometry-based approaches typically rely on enzymatic digestion, fragmenting proteins into peptides for identification, which often results in partial....

• • How to Use Targeted Proteomics for Accurate Detection of Low-Abundance Proteins

  In complex biological samples, protein abundances can span a dynamic range exceeding six orders of magnitude (10⁶). Many proteins with critical biological functions—such as hormone receptors, transcription factors, signaling molecules, and early-stage disease biomarkers—fall into the category of low-abundance proteins. Despite their vital roles in various biological processes, their detection is often hindered by low expression levels and complex sample backgrounds, making conventional discovery-based......

• • Overview of Targeted Proteomics: Methods, Techniques, Key Points, and Applications

  With the increasing emphasis on precision, quantification, and clinical translation in life science research, Targeted Proteomics has emerged as a pivotal tool for advancing proteomic discoveries into clinical applications. Characterized by high sensitivity, high reproducibility, and high specificity, this approach serves as a vital link between omics-based findings and practical implementation. It is particularly well-suited for applications such as biomarker validation, pharmacodynamic studies, immune....

• • MRM Targeted Quantitative Proteomics for Evaluating PROTAC Efficacy

  PROTAC: A New Drug Paradigm from “Inhibition” to “Degradation” Unlike conventional small-molecule inhibitors, PROTACs (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras) induce the degradation of target proteins by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases to catalyze the ubiquitination of these proteins, thereby directing them to proteasomal degradation within the cell. This degradation-based mechanism—“removal” rather than “inhibition”—offers a transformative strategy for targeting proteins traditionally considered undruggable.......

• • Applications of Targeted Proteomics in Clinical Diagnosis and Cancer Therapy

  Targeted proteomics is emerging as an increasingly important tool in clinical research and the study of disease mechanisms. Compared with traditional immunological protein detection methods (such as ELISA and Western blot), mass spectrometry-based targeted proteomics offers superior specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. It enables the accurate quantification of specific proteins within complex biological matrices—such as plasma, urine, and tissues—thus providing critical support for biomarker......

• • Can Full-Length Protein Sequencing Detect Post-Translational Modifications

  Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins represent one of the central mechanisms underlying protein diversity and functional regulation. Modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, hydroxylation, and ubiquitination play essential roles in signal transduction, immune modulation, and metabolic control. With the rapid advancement of full-length protein sequencing technologies and associated de novo interpretation algorithms, increasing attention has been directed toward a.....
