Bottom-up Proteomics and Top-down Proteomics

Proteomics studies play an increasing role in the field of biology. The use of mass spectrometry (MS) in combination with a range of separation methods is the main principal methodology for proteomics. The two principal approaches to identifying and characterizing proteins using MS are the “bottom-up”, which analyze peptides by proteolytic digestion, and “top-down”, which analyze intact proteins.
