About Asilomar 2018

The quantitative analysis of post-translational modifications has become an increasingly important capacity in mass spectrometry-based proteomics. This is due to fundamental biology converging on the abundance and dynamics of post-translational modifications as essential to a myriad of processes. However, the challenges of accurate and reproducible quantitation of post-translational modifications by mass spectrometry are substantially different from protein identification or even post-translational modification identification and localization. At this conference we will address the challenges of this emerging capacity as a community, the latest methods, technology and data analysis approaches and apply them to questions ranging from fundamental biology to clinical applications.
