“…MALDI MS ions are singly charged, representing the non-fragmented parent ion mass, the resulting spectra is simple, and therefore, the species of unknown samples can be easily deduced after data processing and direct pattern matching with that of the spectra established from well-defined species compiled as a database. The identity of spectral peaks or protein sequence information is not important, as the species deduced by matching the protein profiles usually at a range of 2–20 kDa (2,000–20,000 m/z) (Evason et al, 2001; Sauer and Kliem, 2010; Welker and Moore, 2011; Karlsson et al, 2015; Cassagne et al, 2016). …”
