The invention discloses a ligand
target protein analysis method based on
protein sequential denaturation. The method comprises the following steps: sequentially denaturing and centrifuging proteins of a ligand group and a control group respectively, and taking supernate; the sequential denaturation comprises at least two of high-
temperature treatment, acidic
reagent treatment,
organic solvent treatment, oxidant treatment, high-
ion strength treatment and mechanical oscillation force treatment; and performing
guanidine denaturation, reduction,
alkylation and enzymolysis on the supernate, detecting
protein abundance by
mass spectrometry, comparing the
protein abundance difference of a ligand group and a control group, and determining the ligand
target protein. According to the invention, the coverage and sensitivity of
target protein identification are improved; the sample consumption is low; the
solubility displacement induced by the ligand is increased; by performing multi-step
continuous treatment under different denaturation conditions on the sample, the
solubility difference generated by ligand induction is accumulated and amplified under the continuous different denaturation conditions, and the
solubility difference generated by ligand induction only responding to one denaturation condition is not diluted and averaged.
