targeted proteomics

Targeted proteomics is a scientific method used to precisely measure specific proteins within a complex mixture, such as blood or tissue samples. It involves designing experiments to detect and quantify selected proteins of interest with high accuracy and sensitivity, often for diagnostic or research purposes. This technique uses advanced mass spectrometry tools to identify those proteins based on their unique characteristics. By focusing on specific proteins, targeted proteomics provides detailed information about their presence and abundance, helping scientists understand biological processes and identify biomarkers associated with diseases.
