A group of investigators under Dr. Matthias Mann at Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany is working on an interesting quantitative proteomics technology that might offer a new way to analyze cell proteins in a range of disorders, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. Called super-SILAC (stable-isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture), the method generates thousands of isotopically labeled peptides in unique amounts to serve as "internal standards for mass spectrometry-based analysis."
Exploring science is typically characterized by a lot of puzzles, frustrations or even failures. This weblog is mainly intended to record my working, thinking and knowledge acquisitions. I expect that some reflection would refresh my mind from time to time, and motivate me to move further, and hopefully give me a better view about even changing the landscape of bioinformatics. You are welcome to leave some comments, good or bad, but hopefully something constructive. Enjoy your surfing!
