Tuesday Morning Cybersecurity Presentation
Gulf Coast Conference keynote speaker Tyler Cohen Wood, who is an internationally recognized cybersecurity influencer and authority, presents “Cybersecurity-The New Frontier in Protecting Critical Infrastructure.”
On Tuesday, October 15, Gulf Coast Conference keynote speaker Tyler Cohen Wood, who is an internationally recognized cybersecurity influencer and authority, presents “Cybersecurity-The New Frontier in Protecting Critical Infrastructure.” Through this presentation, attendees will have a greater understanding of the serious cyber threats posed to critical infrastructure, and measures that can be taken to best shield themselves against both current and growing cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Wood will use her unique expertise and storytelling style to empower the audience with knowledge of real cyber-attacks being enacted today, and what can be done about them. At the end of the presentation, the audience will have a close understanding of the main threat actors, the threats themselves, and how to arm their businesses against them. This presentation takes place in Exhibit Hall Room A4 and begins at 10 am.
Advanced LC–MS Analysis for PFAS Analysis in Eggs
October 11th 2024The European Commission's regulation on maximum levels for certain contaminants in food highlights the need for precise and reliable methods to quantify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in various food matrices. This article discusses development and validation of a robust method for analyzing 21 PFAS compounds in chicken eggs using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS).
Characterizing Cooked Cheese Flavor with Gas Chromatography
October 11th 2024A joint study by the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading and Synergy Flavours aimed to identify volatiles that contribute to the aroma of cooked cheese, including the role of fat content in development during cooking.
Top-down characterization of engineered Bcl-xL proteoforms
October 11th 2024Top-down fragmentation enables rapid characterization of phosphorylated proteins without extensive sample preparation and digestion. In this study, electron capture dissociation (ECD) was used to fragment proteoforms of the cell death-related protein, Bcl-xL. Using these methods, 85–90% sequence coverage was achieved for Bcl-xL proteoforms, allowing for effective localization of phosphorylation within minutes.
Antibody peptide mapping using the new Agilent ExD cell
October 11th 2024Enhanced antibody analysis using electron capture dissociation (ECD) allows for precise glycan localization in low-abundance glycopeptides. This study compares the fragmentation of trastuzumab tryptic digests using ECD and collision-induced dissociation (CID). While CID generates abundant glycan HexNAc ions at 204 m/z, ECD preserves the labile glycan group, enabling accurate site localization.
