Identification of Adulterated Deer Blood Crystals in Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on MALDI-TOF MS Peptide Fingerprints Technique by Shen-xing WANG, Ling CAO, Qing HUANG, Cong-yu MA, Jian-bin PAN, Hao-dong ZHAO, Hai-wei SHI, Bin DI, Hong-yuan CHEN

“…Firstly, Skyline software was used to predict candidate peptides by identifying the theoretical characteristic peptides for each species, and the mass spectrometry data of the tryptic digests were collected using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (UPLC-Q-TOF MS). Then, the mass spectrometry data were combined with UNIFI software and Uniprot database to accurately select a set of characteristic peptides that can reflect the differences between the target proteins, which was achieved by examining the presence of candidate characteristic peptides in the samples, as well as considering parameters such as the response, missed cut rate, and detection rate. …”
