Abstract

Mass-spectrometry-based absolute protein quantification uses labeled quantification concatamer (QconCAT) as internal standards (ISs). To calculate the amount of protein(s), the ion intensity ratio between the analyte and its cognate IS is compared in each biological sample. The present protocol describes a systematic workflow to design, produce, and purify QconCATs and to quantify soluble proteins in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Our methodology enables the quantification of detectable peptide and serves as a versatile platform to produce ISs for different biological systems.
