Pushing the Boundaries of Protein Identification
Peptide identification rates and protein sequence coverage have historically advanced in line with improvements to the detection limits and spectral acquisition rate of the mass spectrometer. This webinar will demonstrate the advantages of using a novel Orbitrap mass spectrometer to dramatically improve spectral acquisition rates through massive parallelization of the acquisition process to enhance proteome coverage and general experimental throughput.

The 2013 Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded jointly to Martin Karplus of the University of Strasbourg, France and Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Michael Levitt of Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford and Arieh Warshel of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems.
A new modelling technique for real-time tracking of metabolic reactions in tumours has been developed by UK researchers. The system based on a simplified computer model of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra could allow oncologists to assess how well their prescribed treatment, whether chemotherapy, radiotherapy or an immunological treatment is progressing without surgical intervention nor the need for regular biopsies.
X-ray tomography carried out on simulated rock and metal samples could get deep beneath the surface in helping Stanford scientists to understand the way in which iron percolates into the Earth's mantle and how droplets of iron merge under such conditions to form interconnected networks of material.

Data analysis is a vital part of science today, and in assessing quality, multivariate analysis is often necessary in order to avoid loss of essential information.
The emphasis of this book is on understanding the principles and applications behind the main ideas in chemometrics, which can then be applied to a wide variety of problems in chemistry, chemical engineering and allied disciplines.
Factor analysis is a mathematical tool for examining a wide range of data sets, with applications especially important to the design of experiments (DOE), spectroscopy, chromatography, and chemometrics. In this free chapter from "Factor Analysis in Chemistry" Edmund Malinowski introduces the technique, declaring that "every problem has a solution"!
