A. differential centrifugation

B. equilibrium sedimentation

C. velocity sedimentation

D. ion-exchange chromatography

E. gel-filtration chromatography

Answer:

Ion-exchange chromatography.

Explanation:

Phosphorylation is a posttranslational modification that confers to the proteins different charges, thereby ion-exchange chromatography can be used for the identification of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated protein species. Both ion-exchange chromatography and mass spectrometry are used to analyze protein phosphorylation
