Gary Boas

The emerging field of phyloproteomics seeks to categorize the relationships between microorganisms by the mass of their respective proteins. Now researchers at the University of Maryland in College Park have used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry to obtain protein biomarkers from fungal cells that they compared with those in genome and protein databases, illustrating the potential of the technique to identify unknown fungi. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has a number of promising applications in human and veterinary medicine as well as in...Read full article
