Abstract
A method of counting protein subunits to determine the oligomeric state of an oligomeric protein complex includes tagging and expressing the protein subunits with a mass/charge tag and selectively removing each mass/charge tag. The number of protein subunits of the oligomeric complex corresponds to the number of mass/charge tags removed.
