Our latest #CDlab paper online in @acsnano! “Resolving Chemical Modifications to a Single Amino Acid within a Peptide Using a Biological Nanopore” pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Great work by PhD student @laurarpo1, an important step towards the fingerprinting of single proteins

As #SMPS2019 draws to an end, we send out a big thank you to all the participants for sharing exciting ideas on single-molecule protein fingerprinting. So many diverse technologies and interesting discussions. Hope to see you all soon!

... and now the end has come. (Until next time) #SMPS2019

Excited to learn about DNA Nanoswitch Calipers from Toma Tomov (with the Shih & Wong labs). What a great tool to add to the protein sequencing toolbox! #SMPS2019

Amazing work by Tami Geiger (and Tzacki Pilpel). Identifying translation error with MS. #SMPS2019

Eric Anslyn from @UTAustin showing the labeling chemistry behind the fluorosequencing work of @edward_marcotte and @erisyon. Oh, and how to make your own Atto647 equivalent for less than $171k per gram. #SMPS2019

Here we go! #SMPS2019

Senior editor Susan Jones looking forward to the start of #SMPS2019, which has a fantastic program -- check it out at smps2019.com.

When @UTAustin scientists tweeted their idea for a new way to image molecules, others tweeted they were working on same idea. Within days, a new field was born: DNA microscopy. cell.com/trends/biotech… Image: simulated DNA imaged with new method. @alex_boulgakov @edward_marcotte

The future is almost here. @CVogelNYC

Just BioRxiv'ed our recent work on systematically identifying ribonucleoprotein complexes. rna.proteincomplexes.org should be a valuable resource to the RNA and protein complex communities. biorxiv.org/content/early/… …

Thought RNA is not a big player in many protein complexes? You thought wrong! My colleagues incl. Anna Mallam, @kdrew, @edward_marcotte, & @IlyaFinkelstein show >20% of human protein complexes associate RNA. Preprint out now! Explore the complex map at rna.proteincomplexes.org

We Did It! The #SIRedefinition is official! Watch representatives from measurement science institutions around the world celebrate!

Nature Methods has a new chief editor: long-time team member Allison Doerr. We wish Natalie de Souza the best as she returns to her roots in academia!

“Although nanopore sequencing of proteins has shown promise, the peptide fluorosequencing method of Swaminathan et al. appears to be the most advanced example of such a disruptive approach with a clear path to routine use. “@edward_marcotte @erisyon nature.com/articles/nbt.4…

The best part about being a scientific refugee in CH is all the talks I can attend here in Geneve and Lausanne. Today @edward_marcotte gave a great talk about learning about human proteins using yeast and how protein sequencing, that they just published, works.

We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.

Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland – this year’s Physics Laureates – paved the way towards the shortest and most intense laser pulses created by humankind. The technique they developed opened up new areas of research and led to broad industrial and medical applications.
