Abstract
An overview is provided of six strategies for relative or absolute quantitation of protein abundances that are widely used in proteomic studies. Strengths and limitations are discussed. Four of these involve stable isotope labeling and isotope ratio measurements by mass spectrometry. In another, mass spectra are used to deconvolute overlapping peptide HPLC peaks to provide relative quantitation based on peak areas. The sixth provides relative abundances of proteins based on 2-D gel arrays. It should be noted that these strategies measure peptide and protein abundances, and cannot directly assess changes in regulation or expression.
