An international relocation doesn't mean packing up your entire life in a few bags to carry along with you anymore once you set up a base camp for yourself.. 😉😉

A bunch of validated datasets analysed on a bunch of data analytics platforms with different workflow iterations to benchmark your analysis workflows against.. ProteoBench, a cool tool from EuBIC..

Whats going on with MassIVE?? Issues with funding and/or resources?? All I wanted to do was to download the MAPS-MS data from Searle lab preprint and explore.. Authors, please deposit raw data in sustainable repositories..

Maybe it's the difficulty to process changes at the first sight.. I do feel the panel design of Classic Astral is more appealing.. Hopefully, the new panel design will grow on me eventually.. 🤓🤓

CapLC proteomics at 1.5uL/min flow rate fared better in comparison to nanoLCs.. Not very surprising though.. Would have loved to see a comparison of chromatograms to assess gradient delay and active elution range..

This is awesome.. A compilation of European proteomics labs on map- academic, industry, and service/core facility.. With details on contact info and a brief description on pop up.. Useful for everyone looking for European Proteomics Labs..

This is a great figure compiling the quantitative aspects of those additional IDs retrieved by distinct data analytics tools.. Also, good to see the improved algorithm here reduces the CV of the common IDs..

Such a beautiful example for fit-for-purpose mass spectrometry.. If the analyte is glycopeptides why waste resources by scanning the lower m/z ranges.. narrow window glycoDIA at 955-1655 mass range..

SCP on Ascend fares better than TimsTof HT for a study that was not chasing to identify 5000 proteins per cell?? 🤔🤔

A nice study comparing the proteome level differences among native and drug-resistant prostrate cancer cells..

Can't blame Canada for this..

Weekend proteomics upskilling exercise.. Getting more used to doing BLAST on Uniprot resources.. It's never too late to adapt to changes.. Even though it takes a little bit of getting used to..

TMT 11 reporter ions resolved (!) at MS2 level on an Ion Trap (above) and resolved at MS3 level on an Orbitrap (below) from the same precursor.. It's an intriguing comparison to draw... Data from one of the PD 3.2 training raw files..

Guess ProteomicSky is collecting posts with those two emojis as well into the feed.. Not sure what those emojis mean though..

It's a mixed feel when open access to news and perspective are also blocked by nature.. May be should feel happy that at the least it is not kept behind the paywall..

Used tribrid for 10k GBP in auction?? 🤔🤔

Titrating biotinylated probe and streptavidin conc to find the sweat spot is the key step in high throughput chemoproteomics workflow.. Especially balancing the target(s) specificity and yield.. Liked the heatmap depicting intensity of specific and nonspecific proteins from the pulldown..

Why is the heatmap of protein quan by Olink appears monochromatic compared to neat plasma MS?? Is this how NPX readouts look like?? And why -ve readings on quan heatmap?? So many questions..

Being in a constantly evolving field means, being in a constantly learning mode.

Once proteomics goes beyond qualitative or quantitative cataloguing, fit-for-purpose clinical assays start emerging.. 53 protein MRM panel that works on regular UPLC and QQQ.. Targeted MS always for practical purposes...

A model of the first MALDI-TOF mass spec I have ever used from decades back is available on eBay for <1000 USD now.. Payment can be done in installments over 6 months as well.. One for the collectors, huh.. 🤔🤨

Is it natural to have the first thought as how the masses of these compounds will look in a mass spec and what its isotope patterns will be.. 🤔🤓 #MassSpecMusings..

I was just thinking about the CE recalibration you were referring to in the PD training session early this month.. The shift in the ion ratio is consistent here as in the figure below.. Details are on alt text..

Went down the rabbit hole and looked up the peptide IDs per minute records till 2017 after listening to the latest #TheProteomicsShow podcast. Wonder what this graph will look like with the updates from newer 100-300 SPD studies.. 🤓🤓

The is graph from www.cell.com/cell-systems...

Also, regardless of the technology used, if all the proteins tested shows either positive or negative association with a trait, doesn't it make that correlation a little hard to comprehend??
November 23, 2024 at 9:47 PM
#MassSpecMondayArt.... Spectral recalibration has totally given up on this..
