Hello Toronto!🍁The Terrific TUM Team is happy to be attending #HUPO2025. Kusterlab, Wilhelmlab and Leelab have a diverse set of presentations for you that we can't wait to share 🤓.
We're excited to spend the next days reuniting with old friends and making new connections. See you there!

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
Photo-crosslinking mass spectrometry enables the identification of protein-RNA interactions in living cells, pinpointing interaction interfaces at single-amino acid resolution. However, current isolat...

New Preprint: High-intensity 365 nm irradiation accelerates photoreactions in living cells by up to 1000×. We show protein–drug 💊, –protein 💪, –DNA 🧬, –RNA 🧬 crosslinking within seconds, and analysis by #massspec for #proteomics, #chembio, #chromatin and #RNAbiology. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Enhanced photo-crosslinking in living cells with high-intensity longwave ultraviolet light
The activation of chemical reactions in living cells using ultraviolet (UV) light enables the interrogation of biomolecules in their native environment with photoreactive probes or crosslinking reagen...

New paper!
Our chemoproteomic survey of phenylhydroxamic acids identifies the first drug-like inhibitors for nucleotide-binding protein HINT1 and nucleoside kinases NME1-4. On top, we found probes for the HDAC inhibitor off-target MBLAC2. Check out the open-access article! tinyurl.com/yh92vh6b
