“Multidimensional separation schemes enhance the identification and molecular characterization of low molecular weight proteomes and short open reading frame encoded peptides in top-down proteomics” Cassidy L*, Helbig AO, Kaulich PT, Weidenbach K, Schmitz RA* & Tholey A* *SPP 2002 members Abstract:Short open reading frame-encoded peptides (SEP) represent a widely undiscovered part of the proteome. The detailed analysis of […]

“Biological functions, genetic and biochemical characterization, and NMR structure determination of the small zinc finger protein HVO_2753 from Haloferax volcanii” Zahn S*, Kubatova N*, Pyper DJ*, Cassidy L*, Saxena K, Tholey A*, Schwalbe H*, Soppa J* *SPP 2002 members Abstract:The genome of the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii encodes more than 40 one-domain zinc finger µ-proteins. Only one of these, HVO_2753, contains four C(P)XCG […]
