Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Detecting Myosin Light Chain 3 in Dry-Aged Beef

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is a more accurate technique for detecting proteins than electrophoresis-based methods such as western blotting. Because of its convenience, western blotting is commonly used for protein analysis in beef. We developed a method for detecting m...
