Configuring Your Mass Spectrometers for Single-Cell Proteomics Experiments

Unlike traditional proteomics studies, which analyze millions of cells simultaneously and present protein changes as cumulative measurements, single-cell proteomics (SCP) permits a more detailed examination of protein composition and function at the individual cell level. This advancement is crucial for understanding cellular heterogeneity, functional diversity, cell development, tumor heterogeneity, disease progression and treatment, and the identification of potential drug targets. Among the various methods employed for single-cell proteomics, mass spectrometry (MS) stands out as the most unbiased. MS facilitates the identification and quantification of thousands of proteins, proteoforms, and post-translational modifications (PTMs) in single cells.
