“…TMTs, TMTpro, and iTRAQ can multiplex 11, 18, and 8 samples, respectively, and also have unique nonisobaric versions called mTMT (93) and mTRAQ (94), which use the complementary reporter ion fragments for quantitation. Many isobaric tags have been modeled after amino acids because they are inexpensive and readily available for isotopic incorporation (61,62,95,96). Tags such as deuterium isobaric amine reactive tags (DiARTs), isobaric tags, and dimethyl leucine (DiLeu) (97,98) utilize leucine as a scaffold and are less costly compared to commercial reagents such as TMTs and iTRAQ (Table 1) (66,69,99).…”
