A bad day’s fishing is better than a good day’s work. Freshly retired , but worked for 40 years in protein biochemistry and proteomics, with PTM analysis being a speciality.

I would hope the Scottish government will do something to put the Orange one in his place. Ban him from visiting his golf courses in Scotland . That’s how you treat a petulant child.

First official day of retirement. I can highly recommend it. Just waiting for the trout season to open next month.

Nice thing about being retired is I can come to scotland to see the kids when I want. Also caught up with old colleagues at CRUK Scotland and MRCPPU in Dundee. Now off to Aberdeen.

Less than one month until I retire from full time work. I am going to offer training and consultancy from early march 2025, so if you know of anyone who would like training on LCMS systems or consultancy on proteomics sample prep etc please mention my name.

Nice review of plasma proteomics methods by Josh Coon and his group . However the perchloric acid treatment of plasma will lead to the formation of cysteic acid and methionine sulphone which is not mentioned for the DIA search. .https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.08.632035v1

I am doing HILIC of oligonucleotides ( I know!!) and the sodiation I am seeing must be coming from the LC even though it has been thoroughly washed. The ASO made up in ammonium acetate/acetonitrile/milliQ water shows no sign of sodiation when infused. Any ideas on how to reduce the sodiation?

Well I have been on here since ver a week now and what a pleasant place to be. Good scientific discussions and a distinct lack of musk self promotion. Long may it continue.
