Deep Profiling of Plasma Proteoforms with Engineered Nanoparticles for Top-Down Proteomics

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The dynamic range challenge for the detection of proteins and their proteoforms in human plasma has been well documented. Here, we use the nanoparticle protein corona approach to enrich low-abundance proteins selectively and reproducibly from human plasma and use top-down proteomics to quantify differential enrichment for the 2841 detected proteoforms from 114 proteins. Furthermore, nanoparticle enrichment allowed top-down detection of proteoforms between ∼1 μg/mL and ∼10 pg/mL in absolute abundance, providing up to a 10
