The big picture: Ancient proteins identified in preserved woolly mammoth bone The big picture: Ancient proteins identified in preserved woolly mammoth bone 
A record number of ancient proteins have been isolated and identified from the femur of a 43,000 year-old woolly mammoth that had been preserved in permafrost, using specially developed techniques to minimise contamination along with high-resolution mass spectrometry. [January 16, 2012]

The performance of Cibacron Blue dye (HiTrapBlue or Affigel Blue) in depleting albumin from plasma, as a pre-treatment for biomarker searching in the low-abundance proteome, is assessed. [January 9, 2012]


Cloned cat deficiencies: Protein changes account for premature deaths Cloned cat deficiencies: Protein changes account for premature deaths 
The unacceptably low survival rate of cloned animals might be related to the aberrant expression of proteins associated with oxidative damage, apoptosis and senescence, say Korean scientists. The restoration of normal placental protein levels could increase the efficiency and help to save endangered species. [December 29, 2011]

Capturing States of Pluripotency: How Cell Surface Chemoproteomics Facilitates Rapid Immunophenotyping and Sorting of Pluripotent Stem Cells
 

Induction of a pluripotent state in somatic cells through nuclear reprogramming has ushered in a new era of regenerative medicine. However, heterogeneity and varied differentiation potentials among induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines challenge our ability to identify and isolate functionally defined cell populations for disease modeling, drug discovery, and patient therapies. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop non-genetic methods for isolating more homogeneous, functionally defined iPSCs.

Peptide Targeted Quantification by High Resolution Mass Spectrometry: A Paradigm Shift?
 

Traditionally, targeted peptide quantification studies have used a triple quadrupole (QQQ) mass spectrometer because of their high throughput capabilities and high sensitivity, allowing for large numbers of proteins to be quantified in a single LC/MS experiment. However, the transition from discovery to targeted verification and quantification can still be slow and cumbersome due to the transition between different mass spectrometer platforms.

In this webinar, new approaches to peptide-targeted quantification using high-resolution and accurate mass (HR/AM) mass spectrometry are introduced, together with the new Q Exactive high-performance benchtop quadrupole-Orbitrap LC-MS/MS.

This webinar has been recorded
