Any recommendation for bead beating large pieces of FFPE tissues? Using 10% SDS plus 1.4 mm zirconium beads doesn’t do much.

MS/MS scan range can be an afterthought that doesn't receive attention in method design, but improper settings can affect experimental outcomes. This is especially true in glycoproteomics. A #glycotime thread about a new #JASMS paper on this idea from @riley-research.bsky.social 1/10

The mass range of tandem mass spectra can be categorized into three main regions. For glycopeptides, the lower mass range contains mainly oxonium ions, the middle range contains mainly peptide fragments, and the high range contains charge-reduced fragments. All regions contain valuable fragment ion information, but they can only be simultaneously accessed by breaking the 5–10–15 rule.

Quick proteomics question: we want to use an exogenous biotin blocking scavenger for a TurboID experiment. We tried Biolock but is very inconsistent in our hands. Does anyone have another suggestion?

Another plasma enrichment methodology. I'm not a huge fan of high-throughput approaches that require a dry down and reconstitution step, but this seems like the type of approach that is destined for commercialization.

#AminoAcidAdvent Day 6: Cysteine (Cys; C) Like Mork & Mindy, these stinky residues love to bond! Jerks like us break these bonds, with chemoproteomics trying to map, probe, and manipulate them. Leftovers stuck to S-S is a fun field but I love them for their antioxidant and metal binding abilities.

You can make a multi-course meal with NIST standards. Quenelles de SRM 1946 anyone? Mousse au SRM 2384? Finishing with an SRM 1196, if you're so inclined. @benneely.com can probably tell you how to best prepare the SRM 1945.

NIH scientists say that mRNA vaccines have saved untold thousands of lives. A heroin addled nepo baby whose brain was partially eaten by a worm says mRNA vaccines are worthless and even dangerous. For busy medical patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Everyone talks about LLMs and AI in bioinformatics in terms of big breakthroughs. But the real impact I see is in the small things—data formatting, ID conversions, reproducibility. These tools free us up to focus on the science that truly matters.
