"This is a good paper showing the large scale analysis of a very large protein complex, the nucleolus. [Points of interest]: The size of the complex and that it is dynamic. The mass spectrometry methods used here were a combination of high throughput (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization coupled to time of flight detection) and low throughput (static nanoelectrospray). Both were apparently needed to achieve the 271 protein total that was reported."
