  • METHODS OF PRODUCING AND PURIFYING PROTEINS
    Publication number: 20110105735
    Abstract: Methods of producing and purifying proteins that comprise a glycan tag are provided. In some embodiments, a protein may be modified to include a glycan tag so as to facilitate production of the protein, e.g., by promoting protein secretion and/or promoting protein solubility. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods wherein a protein may be modified to include a glycan tag, which may then be used as an affinity tag for purification.

  • SEQUENCING OF OLIGONUCLEOTIDES BY MASS SPECTROMETRY
    Publication number: 20080189048
    Abstract: A method of sequencing nucleic acids is provided which uses ion ratios derived by measuring ion abundance at both a high and low collision energy. These ion rations are useful for assigning charge states to product ions, as well as for sequencing the terminal sequences. In addition, methods for using internal ions to sequence the nucleic acids are described.
