DeCyder-generated list of proteins whose abundances vary by at least ±1.5-fold (p ≤ 0.05) between DOC- and water-treated OBC matrices. Columns show (left to right): numbers assigned to each spot on the gel; average ratios between spot volumes (DOC/water); p-values corresponding to those ratios; maximum spot volumes (pixels); approximate pIs and M_r (Daltons) based on position within the gel; and match quality, a measure of consistency between a spot’s replicates in different gels (lower is better). Spots above the double line are more abundant in DOC matrix, below, in water matrix
