SERVICES











The ZMBH Core Facility for Biomolecular Chemistry provides timely state-of-the-art services for identification and characterization of proteins to support the research of the ZMBH investigators. Capacity permitting, samples from outside the ZMBH can be analyzed at a highly competitive prize.

Services offered:

  • Protein identification by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry
  • Peptide sequencing by nanoESI QTOF mass spectrometry
  • Determination of the exact molecular weight of proteins
  • Multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT)


In addition the Core Facility is involved in the development of new methods for analyzing proteins.

  • Identification of posttranslational modifications
  • Determination of the N-terminus and C-terminus of proteins
  • Analysis of protein conformation by amide hydrogen-1H/2H-exchange


Instrumentation:

The facility is equipped with modern, high-end instruments for protein and peptide analytics.
