Mass Spectrometry in Structural Biology

Structural biology combines molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics. It is concerned with the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biomolecules, information that can be extremely useful in fields such as medicine. Download this infographic to learn more about the structural biology research field and the use of cross-linking mass spectrometry in this space.

Mass Spectrometry in Neuroscience

For proteomics researchers, work is almost impossible without mass spectrometry (MS). Neuroscience, however, has largely got by without dipping its toe into the pool of analytical chemistry. With the advent of faster, smarter MS tools, those days may be numbered, as MS-based techniques become an invaluable resource for studying the brain.

Mass Spectrometry Ionization

Mass spectrometry (MS) plays a vital role in many aspects of our lives, from diagnosing illness and detecting food contaminants to fighting fraud. In order for a sample to be analyzed by MS, it must however, first be ionized. There are a number of ways of achieving sample ionization depending on the sample type, target analyte and desired workflow. In this article, we consider some common ionization techniques and sample types for which they are best suited.

An Introduction to Protein Purification: Methods, Technologies and Applications

The ability to obtain pure proteins is essential for developing drugs, creating vaccines and understanding biological processes. In this article, we discuss what a typical protein purification protocol involves and the various techniques used.

12 Tips for Preparing Non-Covalent Protein Complexes for Mass Spectrometry Analysis

Preparing, purifying, analyzing and identifying the constituent components of non-covalently-interacting protein complexes by mass spectrometry has become significantly simpler and easier over the last two decades. However there are still many points that are easily overlooked in the successful preparation and analysis of these complexes.
