Top-down fragmentation for extensive biomolecular characterization and analysis
Our favorite molecules
DNA and RNA oligomers
Synthetic and biological polydisperse polymers
Soluble and membrane proteins including different membrane mimetics
Large, multisubunit protein complexes, and their associated small molecules (Cofactors, drugs, lipids)
Our Instruments
Thermo Fisher Q-Exactive UHMR (Ultra High Mass Range)- A high- resolution, high-mass, orbitrap based instrument, designed for analysis of large molecules, in their intact and native state. The instrument is also equipped with Direct Mass Technology which allows for CDMS and analysis of single ions and large numbers of polydisperse populations.
