  5. matrixscience.com is being overwhelmed by millions of HTTP requests from distributed botnets, essentially a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. We are forced to mitigate it by restricting access to certain pages of dynamic content.

  6. Thunder-DDA-PASEF is an acquisition strategy for capturing more human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I peptide ligands on Bruker timsTOF instruments. This month's blog shows how you can process Thunder-DDA-PASEF data with Mascot Distiller.

  14. After a fair bit of frustration, our new excimer laser is installed! We have it coupled to an Element 2, and new laser plus sector magnet (rather than quadupole) mass spectrometry is a steep learning curve for me. Nice to spend the afternoon tinkering in the lab though.

    #LAICPMS #MassSpec #MPIC

  15. When raw data is processed into peak lists, there is a choice: how should peak intensity be calculated? Mascot Distiller defaults to peak area. The alternative, signal-to-noise (S/N), can be useful with detecting diagnostic ions.

  19. Der Mann hat was neues für #Lupus gefunden - oder wie @kabalak selbst sagen würde:

    In conclusion, this study uncovers a new dimension of immune crosstalk: a proteolytic plasma network that generates immunoactive fragments with intrinsic self-regulatory capabilities to modulate #inflammation and tissue injury in complex disease contexts. Deciphering these immunoactivities may pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in complement-driven pathologies, potentially benefiting a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

  34. Having a great time at the developers meeting with our hackathon for combined :rstats: / :python: data analysis.

    Here part of our team on a short hike ⛰️ to get some fresh air for our 🧠

  35. Looking for opinions on which 193 nm excimer laser ablation unit to get to couple with our Element 2 for high-res analysis trace and minor elements in carbonates (esp. speleothems). Trying to choose between RESOlution or ESL. If any geochemists/LAICPMS afficonados on here have OPINIONS on either of these (good or bad), please drop me a line!

  36. New publication from the lab in Methods in Enzymology 📖: A chapter on #massspec based study of #mitochondrial translocation proteins. Free copy available at: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jenP_1

  37. Not sure if enough #massspec people are here but I need some help for #hplc #troubleshooting: Have you ever found brownish dirt in your LC valves? We see this now accumulating since several months but have changed neither protocols nor solvents. Doing #proteomics with MS-grade solvents using mostly C18 stage tipping sample prep and an Ultimate3000 LC. Any ideas welcome!

  38. Our new preprint, presenting PulsPhos, a novel method for proteome-wide measurement of the dynamics of protein phosphorylation at specific sites in living cells, is now out!

    This required inventing an elegant strategy for measuring the pool of available phosphates in, which allows us to account for the complex biotransformations of phosphates that occur in intact cells.

  39. A passionate call by Jana for #OpenScience and #OpenData in #Exposomics and #MassSpec research.
    And an impressive resource she and the #RECETOX labs at Masaryk University, CZ, have set up at zenodo.org/communities/rcx-balri

    Leading by example and using #Zenodo and #UseGalaxy as building blocks seems like the way to go!
