Ion Mobility Spectrometry

Project

Structural Elucidation

Mass Spectrometry (MS) is an extremely sensitive analytical tool that provides accurate mass-related data for molecules ranging from small metabolites to protein complexes.

Dissecting the sugar-code in situ

Glycosylation – the covalent attachment of a sugar molecule to a protein – is the most abundant and indeed most complex post translational modification (PTM) in nature.

Structure Elucidation Using Mass Spectrometry and Related Technologies

While Mass Spectrometry (MS) is an extremely sensitive analytical technique, structural characterization of small molecules (metabolites to lipids and peptides) using MS data only remains a huge challenge and a major bottleneck in a number of areas like metabolomics, glycomics and natural product chemistry.
