Bruker Daltonics Announces Massachusetts Breakfast Seminar on New Mass Spectrometry Based Methods for Intact Protein and Peptide Characterization in Biomarker Research.BILLERICA, Mass. -- Bruker Daltonics today announced a breakfast seminar on new advanced mass spectrometry based methods for intact protein and peptide characterization in biomarker research. The seminar will take place Wednesday, November 29, 2006 from 8 AM to 11 AM in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Marriott Residence Inn, 6 Cambridge Center. Scientists are invited to discover how mass spectrometry is advancing the state of the art in protein function and biomarker research. Electrospray Ionization (ESI (Edge Side Includes) A markup language for Web pages that enables elements of a Web page to be dynamically assembled in servers distributed throughout the Internet. ) and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Desorption A process in which atomic and molecular species residing on the surface of a solid leave the surface and enter the surrounding gas or vacuum. Ionization ionization: see ion. ionization Process by which electrically neutral atoms or molecules are converted to electrically charged atoms or molecules (ions) by the removal or addition of negatively charged electrons. (MALDI MALDI Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization ) mass spectrometry are the basis of important new tools that facilitate the characterization of peptides and proteins with high specificity. Complementary techniques are gaining in popularity for biomarker research and discoveries using MALDI imaging and novel ESI-MS/MS fragmentation methods. Scientists joining this breakfast seminar will find out more about these emerging new technologies. [TABLE OMITTED] Prior registration is needed to ensure seating.
