  • DiaReport: Reproducible Workflow for Differential Expression Analysis and Interactive Reporting in DIA-based Proteomics
    March 12, 2026 by MS Articles
    Data-independent acquisition (DIA) has become the preferred data acquisition method for mass spectrometry-based proteomics, yet, reproducible workflows for differential expression (DE) analysis and reporting results remain limited. We present DiaReport, an R package that performs precursor- and protein-level DE analysis from DIA-NN output using MSqRob and QFeatures, while generating high-quality, interactive HTML reports through Quarto. DiaReport integrates precursor data, filtering […]

  • Ion Mobility-Enhanced LA-REIMS Improves Molecular Resolution in Ambient Biofluid Metabolomics
    March 12, 2026 by MS Articles
    Ambient metabolomics techniques such as laser-assisted rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) enable fast, preparation-free fingerprinting of biological samples but are inherently limited by spectral congestion in the absence of chromatographic separation. While ion mobility spectrometry provides additional gas-phase separation, maintaining ion transmission under the transient signals characteristic of laser desorption remains analytically challenging. Here, we define operating conditions for […]

  • Doxycycline inhibits both apicoplast and mitochondrial translation in apicomplexan parasites
    March 11, 2026 by MS Articles
    Doxycycline is a tetracycline-class antibiotic used for malarial prophylaxis and as an occasional partner drug in malaria treatment. Several lines of evidence suggest that doxycycline's antimalarial mechanism of action is through inhibiting the prokaryotic 70S ribosomes of the apicoplast, a non-photosynthetic plastid present in most apicomplexan species including Plasmodium and Toxoplasma. At lower concentrations (10 M) doxycycline has rapid schizonticidal […]
  • MSstatsResponse: Semi-parametric statistical model enhances detection of drug-protein interactions in chemoproteomics experiments
    March 11, 2026 by MS Articles
    Chemoproteomics is a popular approach for the identification of small molecule-protein interactions in biological systems. Several chemoproteomics workflows leverage functionalized chemical probes and mass spectrometry to measure protein engagement through direct protein enrichment or competition using a range of small molecule concentrations. Statistical methods for analysis of such dose-response chemoproteomics datasets are limited. For example, existing methods rely on fixed […]

    March 11, 2026 by MS Articles
    Background: Rapid and accurate identification of urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogens is critical for effective treatment and combating antimicrobial resistance. Conventional culture-based diagnostics are slow, and standard tandem mass spectrometry workflows are resource-intensive. Methods: We present a proof-of-concept workflow that integrates high-resolution data-independent acquisition (DIA) MS/MS on the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Astral with MS1-only spectra from the Orbitrap Exploris 480.

  • Characterization of aliA and aliB deletion mutants reveals a dominant role of AliA in Haloferax volcanii lipoprotein lipidation
    March 11, 2026 by MS Articles
    Protein lipidation is a widespread strategy for anchoring proteins to cellular membranes across all domains of life, yet the mechanisms underlying this process in archaea remain poorly understood. Recently, the first archaeal enzymes involved in lipobox-containing protein (lipoprotein) biogenesis, AliA and AliB, were identified and characterized in the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii. Although these paralogs share significant sequence similarity, distinct […]

  • Advanced Phosphoproteomics Depth and Quantitative Performance Using an Integrated noFAIMS–FAIMS Approach
    March 11, 2026 by MS Articles
    ABSTRACT Rationale Protein phosphorylation plays a central role in regulating cellular signaling, and its dysregulation is closely linked to diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Mass spectrometry–based phosphoproteomics allows comprehensive mapping of phosphorylation; however, detecting low-abundance and poor ionization phosphopeptides remains a challenge. High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) offers orthogonal gas-phase fractionation, enhancing phosphopeptide detection. However, FAIMS and […]
