A New Mass Spectrometry Method for Protein Analysis

Jennifer S. Brodbelt, a professor of chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin, focuses on the development and application of photodissociation mass spectrometry for studying biological molecules such as peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, oligosaccharides, and lipids. She recently spoke with Spectroscopy about her work with this technique. She is the winner of the 2017 ANACHEM Award, which will be presented at the SciX meeting in October 2017. read more

Why Are the Raman Spectra of Crystalline and Amorphous Solids Different?

This installment of “Molecular Spectroscopy Workbench” will help readers understand the underlying physics that affect the Raman spectra of crystalline and amorphous solids. Wave vector, reciprocal space, and the Brillouin zone are explained with respect to Raman spectroscopy of solids. read more

Understanding Data Governance, Part II

Data integrity requires a multilayered approach that runs throughout a regulated organization. Here we discuss the laboratory level, and discuss the impact of the data governance scheme as it cascades down to the processes and systems at the bench. The main focus here is on data ownership and data stewards. read more
