The past 15 years have seen significant progress in LC-MS/MS peptide sequencing, including the advent of successful de novo and database search methods; however, analysis of glycopeptide and, more generally, glycoconjugate spectra remains a much more open problem, and much annotation is still performed manually. This is partly because glycans, unlike peptides, need not be linear chains and are instead described by trees. In this study, we introduce SweetSEQer, an extremely simple open source tool for identifying potential glycopeptide MS/MS spectra.

Article Synopsis
  • Plants can experience internal oxygen levels that are significantly lower than the surrounding environment, even when conditions are optimal for growth.
  • Research on pea roots reveals that they have adaptive respiration mechanisms that conserve oxygen during hypoxic conditions, indicating that there’s a regulatory system at play rather than just oxygen being a limiting factor.
  • The study shows that fermentation processes in plants, particularly alcohol fermentation, are crucial for regulating pyruvate levels and that these processes are more influenced by the plant's energy status than by low oxygen levels.
