C-HPP Workshop in Busan (South-Korea), June 28-30, 2021
Since the COVID-19 pandemic and related health risk world-wide poised travel restrictions, the C-HPP 23rd C-HPP Workshop in Russia was canceled. We hope that vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 viral infection will be available, which would ease travel restrictions by summer 2021. If so we hope our PIC members and all interested C-HPP members will join the next C-HPP Workshop to be held on June 28 – 30, 2021 in Busan, South Korea. Find out more about this event here...
Mapping cell structure and dynamics by proximity-dependent biotinylation and mass spectrometry
Geoffrey G. Hesketh & Anne-Claude Gingras, University of Toronto, Canada

Cells can be viewed as functioning in four dimensions: three-dimensional space (structural organization) and one-dimensional time (dynamics). To understand cell function, we must therefore understand how their constituent macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids, exist in space as well as in time. Here, we discuss the use of proteomics methods to probe such questions. Continue on here...
