Top-down and middle-down proteomic analysis of Shiga toxin using MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometry

The method describes a step-by-step process for analysis of putative Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) for expression of Shiga toxin (Stx). The technique utilizes antibiotic induction, mass spectrometry and top-down/middle-down proteomic analysis. Stx expression is induced by overnight c...
