來自英國牛津大學化學系的James S. O. McCullagh教授和考古與藝術(shù)史研究實驗室的A. Mark Pollard教授聯(lián)合發(fā)表了基于質(zhì)譜蛋白質(zhì)組學方法成功將現(xiàn)代蠶絲(Bombyx)、天蠶絲(Antheraea)和薩米亞蠶絲(Samia)區(qū)分到物種水平的研究: “Species identification of silks by protein mass spectrometry reveals evidence of wild silk use in antiquity” 。多肽和蛋白鑒定使用PEAKS®️ Studio完成。而且,他們分析了從古城巴爾米拉出土的考古蠶絲材料,蠶絲的溶解表現(xiàn)和蛋白質(zhì)組學分析結(jié)果表明這些絲綢是由野生印度柞蠶(Antheraea mylitta)的蠶絲織成的,是首次證明古代印度野生蠶絲參與生產(chǎn)和貿(mào)易的物種級考古生化證據(jù)。
