Project description:The aim of the study was to monitor and analyse injured and diseased loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) plasma proteome profiles during their recovery period in rescue centre within different age and recovery period groups, and determine the potential biomarkers that can be used in diagnostics.
Project description:We applied nanoscale liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) in four Caretta caretta reference specimens in order to resolve missing positions in the existing Type I collagen (COL1) sequence. We also found seven additional biomarkers that distinguished between C. mydas and C. caretta.
