- Motivation: Hydrogen-deuterium exchange/mass spectrometry (HX/MS) is a rapidly expanding technique used to investigate protein conformational ensembles. The growing popularity and utility of HX/MS has driven the development of diverse instrumentation and software, resulting in inconsistent, non-standardized data analysis and representation. Most HX/MS data formats also employ only centroid-level representations of the data rather than full isotopic mass spectra, reducing the information content of the data and limiting downstream quantitative analysis. Results: Inspired by reliable protein structure and genomics data formats, […]

- ABSTRACT Rationale Light stable isotopes (δ 13C, δ 15N, δ 2H, and δ 18O) of Ectropis grisescens (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), a destructive tea leaf-eating pest, were measured at different developmental stages. Isotope values of larval instars, pupae, and adult moth body tissues were determined to understand fractionation patterns at different life stages and to evaluate dietary isotopic change from food to insect to excrement. Methods Young Ectropis grisescens larvae (collected before the first instar) were raised on Camellia sinensis tea leaves […]
- Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool in both basic and clinical research, enabling spatial visualization of biomolecules and drugs in tissue sections. However, factors influencing mass spectrometric response during imaging are increasingly recognized for their impact on apparent molecular distribution. Quantitative mass spectrometry imaging (qMSI) addresses this variability by incorporating analytical standards that undergo the same processes as analytes. While qMSI sample preparation protocols for omics-scale quantitative lipidomics are actively evolving, software solutions for downstream data processing remain […]
- Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease, that are neuropathologically defined by deposition of pathological forms of tau in the brain. While tau is reported to drive neurotoxicity by negatively affecting cytoskeletal, nucleoskeletal, and genomic architecture, the mechanisms mediating tau-induced dysfunction of the cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton are incompletely understood. Based on proteomic profiling, we identify a suite of cytoskeletal and nucleoskeletal proteins with differing abundance in a cellular model of tauopathy, iTau. Building upon previous findings that […]
- Ubiquilin-2 (UBQLN2) is a ubiquitin (Ub)-binding shuttle protein that is mutated in X-linked forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). ALS/FTD-linked mutations in UBQLN2 disrupt its conformation, increasing its tendency to form cytoplasmic aggregates that may disrupt cellular regulation through loss-of-function (LOF) and gain-of-function (GOF) effects. To explore how ALS-associated mutations impact UBQLN2 function, we performed quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based interactome analysis using affinity-purified UBQLN2 from inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and induced motor neurons (iMNs) expressing […]
- The identification of bacteria is central to the microbiological sciences. While gene sequencing methods have been the standard to identify bacteria, use of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) in clinical microbiology provides high-throughput identification to the subspecies level. However, biotyping has yet to be adopted outside of clinical settings due to the lack of a centralized public database of MS protein signatures that would facilitate strain identification via spectral comparison. Herein we present the IDBac web platform, a crowd-sourced central knowledgebase […]

- N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that represents a critical quality attribute (CQA) for therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), directly affecting drug efficacy, safety, and stability. Real-time CQA monitoring analytical platforms depend on rapid N-glycan release and fluorophore labeling chemistries to support automated bioprocess analytics during mAb manufacturing. Procainamide is a well-known fluorophore used for released N-glycans reducing sugar aldehydes labeling that offers both high fluorescence and mass spectrometry detection sensitivity comparable to several commercial reagents available in the […]

- A study was conducted to validate the gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS) method as a cost-effective method for the analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in sediment samples. The instrument sensitivity for 17 PCDD/Fs congeners was determined to be in the range of 0.201 to 1.45 ng/mL. The four-point calibration curve exhibited high linearity, with the mean relative response factors (RRFs) for PCDD/Fs ranging from 0.81 to 1.88, and RSD
- The aggregation of the protein alpha-synuclein (Syn) is a common feature of multiple neurodegenerative diseases collectively called synucleinopathies, for which the pathobiology is not well understood. The different phenotypic characteristics of the synucleinopathies Parkinson's disease (PD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) have been proposed to originate from the distinct structures adopted by Syn in its amyloid forms. Here, using covalent labeling and limited proteolysis coupled to mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) in vitro and in situ within […]

- I don't know if this is the answer to some of my most pressing current problems, but it does seem silly dumping all the data at once into something that can't handle it.Maybe if we treat the data as a stream(?) we can allow it to be progressively processed(?)In their models they get up at a 3-order(!!!) of magnitude(!!!) increase in speed when processing large (and largely simulated) datasets up of tens to hundreds of thousands of proteomics samples.Worth at […]
- ABSTRACT Acanthopanax senticosus Harms (ASH) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for its beneficial properties; however, its related species, A. sessiliflorus Seem (ASS), has emerged as a market substitute due to declining ASH resources. To systematically compare the chemical constituents in the stems of two plants, a multi-detector analytical approach was developed in the present study by combining ultra-/high performance liquid chromatography (U-/HPLC) with quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS), ultraviolet detector (UV), and charged aerosol detection (CAD). First, the […]
- ABSTRACT Adhesives were used by prehistoric humans for attaching a handle to a stone tool, to improve tool use. Remains of these adhesives preserve on stone tools until today. Chemical analysis of these residues is essential for an improved understanding of how humans exploited their natural environment, stone tool manufacturing and use. However, chemical analysis is not straightforward, the highly degraded residue and the precious artefacts impose limitation. In this study a novel (semi-) non-destructive identification technique for prehistoric hafting […]
