Schematic diagram demonstrating the workflow of top-down and bottom-up approach in LC-MS-based protein analysis

In top-down approach, intact protein with complete amino acid sequence information is analyzed in MS experiment; in bottom-up approach, proteolytic peptides, each carrying partial amino acid sequence of the intact protein, is analyzed by MS and MS/MS experiment.
