Trypsin is one of the most commonly used proteases in peptide mapping protocols because of its high level of specificity. However, trypsin alone is not always sufficient for full sequence coverage. In this article, the authors detail how trypsin was combined with chymotrypsin to overcome this, and the benefits of an automated platform.

Researchers have introduced MCnebula, a new framework for untargeted LC–MS/MS data analysis. MCnebula focuses on critical chemical classes and utilizes visualization techniques to streamline the analysis process, enabling efficient pathway analysis, biomarker discovery, and classification of unknown compounds beyond the limits of spectral libraries.
