Small but more than enough : Proteins are detected in solution without additional amplification or labeling steps by using a small molecule as a reporter of the protein (see picture, Am‐tag=amplification tag). The combination of self‐assembled monolayers on gold with matrix‐free laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry offers ultrahigh sensitivity with a detection limit of several attomoles.
