Abstract
The use of multiple signature peptides for the quantification of proteins by digestion and LC-MS/MS is reviewed and evaluated here. A distinction is made based on the purpose of the use of multiple peptides: confirmation of the protein concentration, discrimination between different protein forms or species and in vivo biotransformation. Most reports that describe methods with at least two peptides use these for confirmation, but it is not always mentioned how the peptides are used and how possible differences in concentration between the peptides are handled. Differences in concentration are often reported in the case of monitoring different protein forms or in vivo biotransformation, and this offers insight into the biological fate of the protein.
