Study of Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs) with Max Quant software

Post-translational modifications are covalent processing events that alter the function of the protein by adding a modifying group to one or more amino acids. Their detection and quantification are particularly challenging. We set up parameters that allowed us to detect glycosylation and acetylation by using an Orbitrab LC-MS/MS and we processed the data by MaxQuant software
