Protein Inference

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2016:919:237-242. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-41448-5_12.

Abstract

Protein inference is one of the most important steps in protein identification, which transforms peptides identified from tandem mass spectra into a list of proteins. In this chapter, we provide a brief introduction on this problem and present a short summary on the existing protein inference methods in the literature.

Keywords: Protein identification; Protein inference.
