The ability to measure mass to charge ratio of the ions in mass spectrum is the most important feature of the high-resolution mass spectrometers. An analyte's identification can be progressed further ...

Mass spectrometry measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions by ionizing chemical compounds to produce charged molecules. A typical mass spectrometer consists of three parts: a detector, a mass ...

The process of protein identification typically begins with a bottom-up approach, where proteins are enzymatically digested—most commonly with trypsin—into smaller peptides. These peptides are ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...
