Protein chemistry has been one of my main fields of endeavour since the very beginning of my career.

My definition of "protein chemistry" is: --- "the set of techniques, methods and skills to be put at work in order to be able to efficiently look at a protein at a later analytical step".

As I have briefly described in the Mass spectrometry page, my own very first experience with mass spectrometry has pretty quickly led me to grasp the importance of the sample preparation step during the elaboration of an analytical strategy. Be it a preparation of protein sample or anything else.m

The following examples show how I have enjoyed devising either new techniques or new methods all along my experimental path through a number of bio-analytical projects:

• Protein separation and residual SDS detection
• Sample decontamination, concentration and preparation
• Fluorescent protein digestion
• Fluorescent protein oxidation
