NWD DLA programme: Unlocking the Acidic Proteome: Development and Application of Negative-Ion Proteomics for Cell Signalling and Extracellular Protein Biology

Proteins are the molecular machines that control virtually every process in living cells. Their activity is regulated by small chemical modifications, known as post-translational modifications (PTMs), which act as molecular switches to control cellular communication, response to environmental cues and protein function.
