Selected Reaction Monitoring
Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) is a mass spectrometry-based quantitative technique extensively utilized in proteomics research. By targeting specific precursor ions and their corresponding product ions, SRM achieves exceptional sensitivity and specificity in detecting analytes. Initially developed for small molecule analysis, its application has expanded significantly due to its robustness in quantifying components within complex biological samples. In proteomics, Selected Reaction Monitoring is a powerful tool for validating differential protein expression levels, essential for biomarker discovery, elucidating disease mechanisms, and advancing drug development. Furthermore, SRM supports multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), enabling the concurrent quantification of multiple proteins in complex mixtures. This capability enhances its utility in high-throughput analyses by allowing efficient processing of large sample sets. The technique’s high sensitivity is particularly advantageous for detecting low-abundance proteins, a critical requirement in clinical sample analysis where biomarkers often exist at trace concentrations. Unlike traditional antibody-based methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) does not rely on antibody generation, offering greater flexibility and scalability.
Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) also plays a pivotal role in precision medicine. As personalized therapeutic approaches gain prominence, SRM enables accurate quantification of proteins involved in critical signaling pathways, providing valuable insights into disease pathology and supporting the development of tailored treatments. In biopharmaceutical research, Selected Reaction Monitoring is used to characterize pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, ensuring drug efficacy and safety. These applications bridge the gap between fundamental research and clinical practice, accelerating advancements in precision medicine.
In addition to research, Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) is increasingly applied in industrial contexts. Its high sensitivity and specificity are instrumental in food safety analysis, where it identifies trace contaminants and additives, ensuring public health. Similarly, in environmental monitoring, SRM provides reliable data on pollutant concentrations, aiding in the assessment of environmental quality.
