ABSTRACT:
A method for rapid identification of biological materials is presented, which exploits the wealth of information contained in genome and protein sequence databases (5). In a preferred embodiment, the method utilizes the masses of a set of ions by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry of intact or treated cells (1). Subsequent correlation (4) of each ion in the set to a protein, along with the organismic source of the protein, is performed by searching a database comprising protein molecular weights (9).
