MS identification of putative GNE binding partners.

<p>Bands from gradient SDS-PAGE (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0002477#pone-0002477-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>) were digested by trypsin and analyzed by mass spectrometry through nano-ESI-MS-MS. For each protein, the following information is indicated: protein name, molecular mass (MW), accession number in NCBInr database, percentage of protein sequence covered by the matched and sequenced tryptic fragments, number of identified peptides out of the total number of tryptic peptides, peptides sequences, mass difference between experimental and theoretical masses, and score (aa, amino acids; expt., expected; calc., calculated).
