Accurate mass tag

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000119",
  "term": "Accurate mass tag",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A peptide or protein identified by its accurate mass and chromatographic retention time, used as a reference for identifying other components in complex biological samples. This approach enables high-throughput protein identification and quantification without requiring tandem mass spectrometry for every component. It is often employed in proteomics studies.",
