Top-down proteomics can provide unique insights into the biological variations of protein biomarkers but detecting low-abundance proteins in body fluids remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a nanoparticle-based top-down proteomics approach enabling enrichment and detailed analysis of cardiac troponin I in human serum.
