Counting protein molecules for single-cell proteomics

Cell. 2022 Jan 20;185(2):232-234. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.12.013.

Abstract

Technologies for counting protein molecules are enabling single-cell proteomics at increasing depth and scale. New advances in single-molecule methods by Brinkerhoff and colleagues promise to further increase the sensitivity of protein analysis and motivate questions about scaling up the counting of the human proteome.
