Protein spots eluted from a two-dimensional gel analysis can be identified and correlated to specific genes that code for them using ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mass spectrometry is a commonly used technique for protein identification in proteomics. It can be used to identify the molecular weight and sequence of peptides present in protein spots eluted from a two-dimensional gel analysis, which can then be matched to known protein sequences in a database. Sanger sequencing is used for DNA sequencing, not protein identification, and gas chromatography is used for separating and analyzing volatile compounds, not proteins.
