Our new review paper about Pathway-Centric PTM Data Analysis is out this week in #Proteomics!
We cover databases, enrichment tools, software for pathway reconstruction, and full-fledged platforms that help to interpret high-throughput PTM datasets.
Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/pmic...
Computational Approaches for Pathway‐Centric Analysis of Protein Post‐Translational Modifications
Protein function is dynamically modulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). Many different types of PTMs can nowadays be identified and quantified at a large scale using mass spectrometry. ...

New preprint: We isolate peptide–RNA photo-crosslinks with tunable RNA chains from living cells for mass spec. This maps over 4,700 crosslinking sites across 744 proteins and offers the first glimpse into the RNA sequences in crosslinks by MS. Read here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Peptide-RNA photo-crosslinks with tunable RNA chain map protein-RNA interfaces
