In the following schemes, the strategy used for this particular proteomic study is shown in colored boxes. The overall schemes including grey boxes show different possibilities for proteomics studies as discussed in Jamet et al. (2008) Proteomics 8: 893-908.
- First step consists in protein extraction (destructive vs non destructive methods).
- Second step consists in protein separation and identification (direct analysis vs analysis after protein separation).
