Protein Subtraction

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

Dear Anna, 

DNA subtraction is easy since one may utilize the double 
stranded nature of DNA which is absent in proteins

The only method I am aware of is comparing 2D gels of protein 
fractions obtained under different conditions, if necessary by 
utilizing 35S methionine pulse chase labelling for increasing 
sensitivity and/or mass spectrometry for identification.

Try to get hold of proteomics literature like the journal of the 
same name, some monographs in this field or check Methods 
in Enzymology Series in your library.
