MS3 for TMT, not me! TMTProC- improved MS2 accuracy and sensitivity using complementary ions.

MS3 for TMT, not me! TMTProC- improved MS2 accuracy and sensitivity using complementary ions.

Quantitative multiplexed proteomic techniques, such as TMT, are a powerful tool for analysing and quantifying proteins in a cell. These techniques rely on the quantification of reporter ions that are …

G4 nucleic acid structures act as extra-chromosomal inhibitors in ISG cancer gene regulation.

G4 nucleic acid structures act as extra-chromosomal inhibitors in ISG cancer gene regulation.

DNA typically forms a right-handed double helix under physiological conditions but can also form higher-order structures such as a G-quadruplex (G4), formed by guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences. About 10,000 of …

Club bouncer: the ubiquitin system dynamically regulates mitochondrial import at the TOM complex.

Club bouncer: the ubiquitin system dynamically regulates mitochondrial import at the TOM complex.

Mitochondria import almost their entire proteome from the cytoplasm by translocating precursor proteins through the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex, embedded in the mitochondrial surface. The mitochondrial import …

Getting their ducks in a row – LONP1 co-chaperones with mtHSP70 in mitochondrial protein folding.

Getting their ducks in a row – LONP1 co-chaperones with mtHSP70 in mitochondrial protein folding.

Apart from 13 core subunits of the OXPHOS pathway, all the human mitochondrial proteome is encoded by the nuclear genome. Following synthesis on cytosolic ribosomes, proteins for mitochondrial function are …
