Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

Collagen peptide mass fingerprinting by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-
flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, also known as zooarchaeology by mass …

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 …

A novel strategy based on in situ dual-enzyme digestion of paint layer proteinaceous
binders is introduced for faster and more confident identification, resulting in a bottom-up …

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

Research on innovative surface functionalization strategies to develop materials with high
added value is particularly challenging since this process is a crucial step in a wide range of …

This study investigates the efficacy of a sampling technique to acquire sufficient sample for
peptide mass fingerprinting analysis (PMF) with minimal alteration to photograph surfaces …

Biochemical investigations were carried out on the embalmed head of Nebiri (Museo Egizio,
Turin; S-5109)—an 18th Dynasty Ancient Egyptian dignitary—and on the canopic jar …

Diagnostics on historical art samples are decisive for assessing degradation and
understanding the chemical composition of supports and polychromies. These …

This review explains the strategies behind genomics, proteomics, metabolomics,
metallomics and isotopolomics approaches and their applicability to written artefacts. The …
