Since early 2024 we have been working with @brukercorporation.bsky.social on the first prototype timsOmni instrument, integrating an Omnitrap into a timsTOF. Here we report for the first time on the use of this instrument for protein-centric antibody sequencing. See www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🕷️Spiders in your blood? Don’t worry, these are protein molecules of C4BP protein, part of your immune system. Just like real spiders, they grab prey with their “legs.” Watch them in action! Intrigued, check the paper of @tkadava.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.mc... @bijvoet-centre.bsky.social

Having Fun on Saturday in the @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social Lab with @davidsroberts.bsky.social. Have still to work out how the glycan can be attached to the P. But they do magic things here!
