Got an Orbitrap-based mass spec that couldn’t do STORI/direct mass technology before (any aside from the UHMR and Tribrid Ascend)? This is a cool open-source implementation that even works on an Orbitrap Elite! #teammassspec

New plasma glycoproteomics method out of the @hecklab.bsky.social uses narrow-window DIA on Orbitrap Astral with Aurora Ultimate XT column. 50% more glycopeptide IDs vs. traditional approaches, with 181 glycoproteins detected across 7 orders of magnitude in just 10-40 minute runs. bit.ly/45bDXhv

🕷️ Spiders from our blood 🕷️ Check out our new paper from @hecklab.bsky.social describing how the spider-like immune regulator C4BP interacts with its native binding partners. 🔗 www.mcponline.org/article/S153... #MassSpec #StructuralBiology

We show that C4BP has two distinct binding modes, either involving a single “spider leg” or the entire spider-like structure wrapping around the target. Thanks to everyone involved! @victoryin.bsky.social, @hecklab.bsky.social, Jürgen, Johannes, Maryam, and Leendert

Science has more than doubled our life expectancy, revolutionized our quality of life, and powered unprecedented technological advancement. But can we afford to take scientific progress for granted? What happens when science funding is slashed, diversity is suppressed, and pseudoscience takes hold?

Site-specific protein labeling: Recent progress

Spiders from our blood 🕷️ Excited to present our work with @hecklab.bsky.social at #ASMS2025 WP 611.

Check it out. Even if you are afraid of spiders, Tereza is very nice and knowledgeable

Always interested to go beyond trypsin and CID @tshamorkina.bsky.social, @tkadava.bsky.social and @lperezpaneda.bsky.social, @cinderbio.bsky.social & @sciex.bsky.social produced https:// www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.26.656138v1 & @asms.org. A truly improved de novo sequencing approach

We explored the Excedion Pro Mass Analyzer with faster & more efficient EThcD capabilities, launched @asms.org, to more efficiently convert MS2 spectra to PSMs, as quality & unambiguous identification are more important parameters than peptide numbers. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
