A abordagem descrita comparativa, quantitativa proteómica visa obter conhecimentos sobre a composição de complexos multiproteicos sob diferentes condições e é demonstrada através da comparação geneticamente diferentes estirpes. Para a análise quantitativa de volumes iguais de diferentes fracções de um gradiente de densidade de sacarose são misturados e analisados por espectrometria de massa.

O objetivo geral deste procedimento é analisar comparativamente a composição dos complexos MultiPro nas membranas do cordão thal sob diferentes condições. Isso é feito isolando primeiro as membranas thal das células lamona expostas a condições anaeróbicas. Em seguida, as membranas do cordão são solubilizadas e fracionadas em um gradiente de densidade de sacarose.

Em seguida, volumes iguais das frações desejadas são misturados e separados na página SDS. Finalmente, as bandas coradas de kumasi são digeridas com tripsina. Por fim, as amostras são analisadas por espectrometria de massa quantitativa para observar mudanças na abundância de proteínas entre as frações investigadas.
