How can we study target engagement and selectivity of covalent inhibitors? Which electrophilic probes are best suited to study a certain amino acid? Our study on "Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles" is published in Nature Chemistry.(1/7) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles - Nature Chemistry

Covalent inhibitors are powerful entities in drug discovery. Now the amino acid selectivity and reactivity of a diverse electrophile library have been assessed proteome-wide using an unbiased workflow...

It was a great pleasure to teach #FragPipe at the Biological Proteomics for Beginners workshop at #UCSD, sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific. We had a fantastic group of grad students, postdocs, and professors. Yes, I even got to teach UCSD professors how to analyze bottom-up proteomics data 😁

Excited to be one of the guest editors! We’re calling for papers on cutting-edge #proteomics and #metabolomics in #multiomics research. Looking forward to your submissions!

I'm co-editing a special issue at Genome Biology with @fcyucn.bsky.social: "Advances in Proteomics and Metabolomics." We're seeking innovative research that enhances the visibility and impact of #proteomics & #metabolomics in the context of #Multiomics. www.biomedcentral.com/collections/...

In addition to these exciting events, I’ll also be one of the panel members at the single-cell proteomics Evening Workshop on Wednesday. Looking forward to the discussions ahead!

Wow, a record breaking number of the Nesvizhskii lab members attending #ASMS2025! 9 posters, 3 evening workshops, and one Bioinformatics Hub on #FragPipe. Plus multiple collaborative posters with other groups. See you in Baltimore! PS. Below is our recent group photo, including all those attending

The power of #MSFragger open search! “we applied the mass-tolerant search engine MSfragger and found that phosphorylation as well as ubiquitination were well preserved after XDNAX. To our great interest, we found an additional modification of 321 Da occurring only in the irradiated SILAC channel”

In this release, one of the major improvements is LFQ using IonQuant. Thanks to this excellent preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), we identified and fixed a suboptimal step in the XIC. We're always eager to listen to feedback from the community!

Exciting news: We have released #FragPipe 23, and it's one of our biggest updates ever. Windows installer, support for TMT on Astral and timsTOF, TMT35, PTM site reports for DIA, improved Astral data handling in #MSFragger, improved diaTracer for diaPASEF data, better Skyline integration, and more!

Sitting at Pike Place Market in Seattle at 7am in the morning, sipping coffee with my son, a long layover on the way home from Taipei. Otherwise I would do a long post. DiaTracer in #FragPipe work really well, making library-free analysis of any diaPASEF data possible. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Looks interesting, and they already coupled it with MSFragger/FragPipe to search MS data using their fasta. I recommend using the group FDR option (available in FragPipe; requires annotating the headers in fasta in certain way) or a two-pass search option (canonical DB->unassigned mzML->custom DB).
