Abstract

Identification of protein ubiquitination sites is very important for the functional analysis of a targeted protein. Sample preparation before LC-MS/MS assay is essential for this experimental process. Here, we describe two efficient methods for preparing samples for identifying ubiquitination sites in plant proteins by LC-MS/MS.
