Shotgun proteomics to characterize wastewater proteins by Ester Sánchez-Jiménez, Joaquin Abian, Antoni Ginebreda, Damià Barceló, Montserrat Carrascal

“…We believe that wastewater proteomics is opening the doors to the discovery of new environmental and health biomarkers and the development of new, more effective monitoring devices for issues like monitorization of population health, pest control, or control of industry discharges. The method developed is relatively simple and combines procedures for the separation of the soluble and particulate fractions of wastewater and their concentration, and conventional shotgun proteomics using high-resolution mass spectrometry for protein identification. • Unprecedented method for wastewater proteome characterization. • Proteins as new potential biomarkers for sewage chemical-information mining, wastewater epidemiology and environmental monitoring. • Wastewater protein profiles reflect human and industrial activities.…”
