Retention Indexes
Pay attention to Retention (Time)! In GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) or LC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry), chromatography has two main benefits […]
Chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry graph types, etc.
Chromatography-paired mass spectrometry typically uses mass spectrometry (MS), coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GC) to aid in […]
CRISPR/Cas Science – Gene editing & beyond! (but not without challenges)
Jump to: CRISPR/Cas as a genome editing tool • Non-editing CRISPR/Cas tools • CRISPR/Cas as a therapeutic tool • CRISPR […]
Science behind the headlines: First patient treated with custom CRISPR (to correct a metabolic disorder called CPS1 deficiency)
I heard about this medical breakthrough that connects to what I’ve been teaching about, so I thought I’d share in […]
Make the switch to extended PDB IDs and PDBx/mmCIF files – what, why, how
As the PDB (Protein Data Bank) grows, it is running out of 4-character PDB IDs (accession codes you use to […]
The DPC assay for measuring Cr(VI)
The main reason the heavy metal chromium is so toxic is that it’s an oxidant. The hexavalent form of Cr, […]
Derivatization of metabolites for GC-MS via methoximation+silylation
Silylation may sound silly to say, but if you want to make organic acids volatile for GC-MS, it gives you […]
