Announcements:

Due to the coronavirus disease COVID-19 outbreak, we are implementing social distancing policies at the Proteomics Facility while continuing to maintain equipment and process samples from critical exempted research projects, and support self-service users. Proteomics Facility MBB 1.420 lab access requires advance notification and scheduling, contact the lab at pmaf@austin.utexas.edu, this requirement includes dropping off samples or use of equipment and computers.  Wear gloves before entering the lab, sign in and sign out is required. Consultations will be held by phone or teleconference.

...

Please join us for a weekly online series of proteomics presentations/journal club to hear about recent proteomics research at the facility or around Texas and learn more about new techniques. Contact pmaf@austin.utexas.edu to join the FBS listserve to get the Zoom link. This week's Proteomics Journal Club will be presented by Seung Woo Ryu from Tanya Paull's lab discussing his research using proximity tagging of proteins, entitled, "Proteome-wide identification of HSP70/HSC70 Chaperone Clients in Human Cells." The relevant paper can be accessed here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/865030v1 The meeting will be held May 21 Thursday at 4 pm.

• Our name is changing from Proteomics to Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility as we have now added metabolomics services and instrumentation to the facility.

• The QExactive is now available for untargeted metabolomics experiments with data analysis using Compound Discoverer. Contact Maria Person if interested in an experiment.
  
  
• The new Bruker MALDI Autoflex is available for self-service usage after training. It has been used locally to detect peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides, chemicals and polymers. Contact Ian Riddington at iriddington@cm.utexas.edu for training on chemicals or polymers, and contact Michelle Gadush at pmaf@austin.utexas.edu for training for peptides and proteins.
