The highly equipped Capillary and Mass Spectrometry Centre facilitates:

1) protein identification and quantitation in low and highly complex protein mixtures

2) the implementation of a de novo sequencing of proteins from organisms with unknown or incomplete genomes

3) discovery and quantitation of various covalent protein modifications

4) bioinformatic analysis to highlight novel functions and molecular mechanisms of various biological systems and their proteins.
