Protein samples are analyzed by pre-MS sample processing, MS data acquisition and post-MS bioinformatic data processing. Protein quantification can be achieved by label-free methods, such as spectral counting (SC), extracted ion current (XIC), and data-independent acquisition (DIA), or by isotope-labeling methods, such as SILAC and TMT. In addition, MS may also be operated to analyze targeted proteins/peptides by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) or parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)
