Vampire diaries: Protein evolution in bat venom
Date: Aug 1, 2013
Author: Steve Down
The venom of the common vampire bat contains a far more complex set of proteins than previously thought, thanks to an international study which identified new isoforms of other mammalian proteins and considered their molecular evolution.

Tissue repair: Antioxidant influences processes in rainbow trout
Date: Jul 3, 2013
Author: Steve Down
The proteins involved in tissue damage and repair in the rainbow trout have been identified as an example of a lower vertebrate used in food production, those fish fed on the antioxidant astaxanthin having a different cellular response.

Journal Highlight: Tissue proteomics of the low-molecular weight proteome using an integrated cLC-ESI-QTOFMS approach
Date: Jun 24, 2013
Author: spectroscopyNOW
A tissue proteomics approach involving tissue homogenization followed by depletion of large proteins and then capillary LC-MS analysis has been evaluated for examining the low molecular weight/low abundance tissue proteome.

Pancreatic poser: Interspecies effects of nicotine on proteome
Date: Jun 1, 2013
Author: Steve Down
Nicotine affects pancreatic stellate cells from different species in similar ways, suggesting common interaction pathways that will help to understand the link between smoking and pancreatic disease, say researchers in the US.

Pork processing: Proteins influencing water holding capacity and drip loss
Date: May 1, 2013
Author: Steve Down
The proteome of fresh pork meat has been examined to locate proteins that are involved in the abnormal loss of water and soluble proteins due to limited water holding capacity, which impacts on meat quality.
