Helpful Mass Spectrometry Websites
- Protein Prospector (predict protein, enzymatic digest and tandem MS fragment molecular weights; interpret protein digest MS results)
- PROWL (predict protein, enzymatic digest and tandem MS fragment molecular weights; interpret protein digest MS results)
- MASCOT (interpret protein digest MS and tandem MS results)
- Ionsource.com (lots of Bio-MS info)
- DeltaMass (large database of mass shifts due to protein modifications)
Mass Spectrometry-Related Freeware for IU researchers
- ChemBioOffice 11 (excellent chemical software suite, link works for IUB only)
- ISIS/Draw (draw chemical structures and predict their masses)
- IsoPro (predict isotopic distributions)
- Molecular Weight Calculator (predict isotopic distributions)
Suggested Products to Aid in Sample Preparation for MS
- ZipTips™ (desalt and buffer exchange microltier-scale samples prior to MALDI or nano-ESI MS)
- Proteomics Grade Trypsin (has methylated lysines to reduce autolysis)
