Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. By ionizing peptides and then fragmenting those ions into smaller product ions, researchers can determine the biomolecules’ amino acid ...

Effective protein characterization depends on the precise isolation and fragmentation of peptide ions within the mass spectrometer, typically coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS). In a ...

Ions are accumulated in the Zeno trap before being pulsed rapidly into the TOF, meaning up to 20x more fragment ions can be detected. Enabled by a new level of sensitivity, each MS/MS experiment ...

Sensitivity is a fundamental performance characteristic of a mass spectrometer. Increasingly higher sensitivities are in constant demand in order to characterize and quantify analytes that are at an ...

An algorithm designed by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Computational Biology Department and St. Petersburg State University in Russia could help scientists identify unknown molecules.

“Better, faster, stronger” is the mantra that has defined the last 15 years of the omics era. The rise of next-generation sequencing in microbial genomics is a perfect example. Progressive gains in ...

Methylation (namely addition of a methyl group) of arginine amino acid residues of proteins is a post-translational modification (PTM) catalyzed by a family of nine enzymes called Protein Arginine ...

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For the 73rd Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics (ASMS), Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) announced the launch of the timsOmni™ system, a transformative new ...

While many people often use spectroscopy and spectrometry interchangeably, there are some subtle differences in their exact meanings and the associated experimental techniques they are used to ...
