Published: October 2020

A major component of a hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry experiment is the analysis of protein and peptide mass spectra to yield information about deuterium incorporation. The processing of data that are produced includes the identification of each peptic peptide to create a master table/array of peptide identity that typically includes sequence, retention time and retention time range, mass range, and undeuterated mass. The amount of deuterium incorporated into each of the peptides in this array must then be determined. Various software platforms have been developed in order to perform this specific type of data analysis. We describe the fundamental parameters to be considered at each step along the way and how data processing, either by an individual or by software, must approach the analysis.

Low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) reuqire highly pure hydrogen gas due to their extreme sensitivity to carbon monoxide (CO) contamination, which poses a challenge for using cost-effective reformed hydrogen sources. To address this issue, we have developed a surface modification strategy by applying a 0.5-0.

The TRAMP complex contains two enzymatic activities essential for RNA processing upstream of the nuclear exosome. Within TRAMP, RNA is 3' polyadenylated by a subcomplex of Trf4/5 and Air1/2 and unwound 3' to 5' by Mtr4, a DExH helicase. The molecular mechanisms of TRAMP assembly and RNA shuffling between the two TRAMP catalytic sites are poorly understood.

Background: Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (HO), are implicated in aging-associated neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's Disease and frontotemporal dementia. Mitochondrial complex III of the respiratory chain has the highest capacity for mROS production and generates mROS toward the cytosol, poising it to regulate intracellular signaling and disease mechanisms. However, the exact triggers of complex III-derived ROS (CIII-ROS), its downstream molecular targets, and its functional roles in dementia-related pathogenesis remain unclear.

Neurofilament Light Chain under the Lens of Structural Mass Spectrometry.

ACS Chem Neurosci

January 2025

National Measurement Laboratory, LGC, Queens Road, TW11 0LY Teddington, U.K.

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is an early nonspecific biomarker in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injury, indicating axonal damage. This work describes the detailed structural characterization of a selected primary calibrator with the potential to be used in future reference measurement procedure (RMP) development for the accurate quantification of NfL. As a part of the described workflow, the sequence, higher-order structure as well as solvent accessibility, and hydrogen-bonding profile were assessed under three different conditions in KPBS, artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and artificial cerebrospinal fluid in the presence of human serum albumin.

Article Synopsis
  • Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) face challenges due to the limitations of Nafion membranes, which can degrade when exposed to strong oxidizers, prompting the need for new stable proton-conductive materials.
  • A novel material, Htimb-based PMo-based POMOFs (CUST-577), was synthesized, demonstrating excellent proton conductivity and longevity, with a proton conductivity of 8.9 × 10 S cm at 80 °C and 98% relative humidity.
  • CUST-577 also showed impressive capacitance properties in a three-electrode system, with a high specific capacitance of 308 F/g and strong retention after extensive cycling, indicating its potential
