Mass spectrometry (MS) has been playing an important role in studying peptide and protein identities, structures, modifications and interactions that collectively drive their biological functions. MS-based proteomics technology is thus well suited for the biomarker discovery. This article reviews the overall strategies and workflows employed for biomarker discovery and recent applications of MS-based proteomics in neurodegenerative diseases. Special emphasis is placed on the studies of protein post-translational modification pattern changes and differential peptidomics under these pathological conditions.Read More
