A novel method for the analysis of proteinaceous materials present on painted surfaces was
developed by taking advantage of the adhesive ability of some fungal proteins which can …

We recently developed a new method that uses a functionalized film, which non-invasively
extracts the proteins from different surfaces, for the identification of proteinaceous materials …

Proteomic approaches based on mass spectrometry have become increasingly popular for
protein binder's identification in works of art. The identification of the binder employed may …

The identification of proteinaceous components in paintings remains a challenging task for
several reasons. In addition to the minute amount of sample available, complex and variable …

Paleontology, archeology, and art history provide crucial information for the understanding
of human evolution throughout ages and its habits. Past animal and plant species are also …

The presented work proposes a new methodology based on proteomics techniques to
identify proteins in old art paintings. The main challenging tasks of this work were (i) to find …

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis of proteins offers a particularly
promising approach for investigations in cultural heritage on account of its appreciated …

Diagnostic immunology is a powerful tool, widely used in clinical and biochemical
laboratories for detecting molecules. In recent years, the technique has been adaptated to …

Proteins in works of art are generally determined by the relative amounts of amino acids.
This method, however, implies a loss of information on the protein structure and its …

Identification and characterization of ancient proteins still require technical developments
towards non-invasiveness, sensitivity, versatility and ease of use of the analyses. We report …
