MALDI FTMS of Bead Libraries
High-Throughput One-Bead-One-Compound Approach to Peptide-Encoded Combinatorial Libraries: MALDI-MS Analysis of Single TentaGel Beads in Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry.
RSS Monkey for Newsfeeds
RSS Monkey is a server-run script that allows RSS newsfeeds to be displayed as part of a webpage. For example, the newsfeed contents of this page can be displayed, or included in another page using the script below (feel free to cut and paste it onto your own page):
Combined with Hubmed‘s ability to generate RSS feeds from scientific journal citations, this means that titles and/or abstracts can be extracted and placed on any webpage.
Lake Louise Tandem MS Workshop
The 16th Annual Tandem Mass Spectrometry Workshop will be held at Lake Louise, Alberta, December 3 – 6, 2003. See the webpage for more details.
Googlism for ‘Mass Spectrometry’
The ‘Googlism’ site is both amusing and interesting as the Googlism for ‘mass spectrometry’ shows. Some of the hits are incomplete, but others are quite apt.
Joerg’s Mass Spectrometry Page
Joerg’s Mass Spectrometry Page has links to his GNU Public License (GPL) programs for mass spectrometry and some other useful links.
Do Want Acrylamide With That?
Verification of the findings of acrylamide in heated foods. LC-MS/MS analysis of heated foods finds the highest level of acrylamide in french fries.

MALDI of E coli Membrane Proteins
Proteomic analysis of the cell envelope fraction of Escherichia coli in this month’s Amino Acids.
Colloquium Spectroscopicum Internationale
Colloquium Spectroscopicum Internationale XXXIII will be held in Granada, Spain, 7-12 September 2003. The abstract deadline is March 31.
Superheavy 7H Isotope Detected
Researchers at the RIKEN laboratory in Japan report the detection of Hydrogen-7, the heaviest H isotope yet observed.
NIH NCRR Strategic Planning Survey
NIH NCRR wants your input on Strategic Planning. Tell them to fund more mass specs.
Building a Better Protein Chip
Multifactorial screening design and analysis of SELDI-TOF ProteinChip array optimization experiments in February’s Biotechniques.
MS Based Cork Sniffing
This article just in on the HubMed newsfeed: A new approach to the characterization of volatile signatures of cork wine stoppers using a dynamic headspace method coupled to mass spectrometry (DHS-MS).
MS Blog Syndicated
The Mass Spectrometry Blog is officially syndicated at Syndic8.com.
Perkin Elmer MALDI oa-TOF
Perkin Elmer has a new orthogonal acceleration MALDI TOF, the prOTOF 2000.
HubMed, a New PubMed/MEDLINE Interface
The HubMed website is an alternative PubMed MEDLINE interface. There are numerous useful and unique features, including and RSS newsfeed that can be read by newsreader software such as NewzCrawler (Windows), NetNewsWire Pro (OS X) or Amphetadesk (cross-platform). The feed is updated daily, so you can read the latest MS abstracts every morning along with CNN and the New York Times. Another feature that is fun to play with is the citation occurrence plot, as shown below for a search using the word ‘electrospray.’ The plot shows the total yearly occurrences of that word in MEDLINE citations.
The Comic Book Periodic Table
If you haven’t seen The Comic Book Periodic Table of the Elements by F. James Holler and John P. Selegue at the University of Kentucky, by all means do so now.
One Stop Journal Browsing
JustBio shows what you can do with a little Javascript. For example, the journal Science table of contents. The TOC information is parsed directly from the journal sites, so the look is consistent from journal to journal.
Protein Mass Spectrometry Markup Language
A nice example of XML applied to MS is the Protein Mass Spectrometry Markup Language (ProMSML) developed by the Manitoba Proteomics Centre.
