Different therapeutically active ingredients, from plants, animals, and mineral sources, are prescribed as traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). TCMs, from animal sources, are rich in proteins and peptides. Different advanced proteomics technologies, such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), multi-dimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), and...
