A method of identifying post-translationally modified proteins is disclosed. The method comprises mass analysing peptide ions and then subtracting from the determined mass of the peptide ion the known increase in mass due to one or more modifications of interest. The resulting value which represents the mass a peptide would have had the protein from which it is derived hot been modified is then used to search against a peptide databank.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 22, 2004 and granted November 5, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 22, 2024.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
