Column 1 has spots that have significantly different intensities (p = 0.05) after normalizing and log transforming data. Column 2 has spots that are significantly different in intensity after normalizing data (using normalization 2), but after log transformation. The percentages in parenthesis in the header measure how many of the ten proteins known to be different were identified after log transformation and normalization.
