Towards the beginning of this century, mass spectrometry- based proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool for large scale screening, identification and quantitation of proteins from complex biological samples. Moving with this trend, a mass spectrometry (MS) facility was formed at NCBS with an aim to provide researchers state-of-the-art techniques to characterize biomolecules with an emphasis on proteins and peptides. We not only focus on providing reliable, high quality data to its users, but see it as important part of our mission to provide support in designing and interpretation of “omics” experiments.

We celebrated the opening of the MS-facility with the International Symposium on Mass Spectrometry in Life Sciences (2009). A short review of the meeting was published in Current Science (http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/25jan2010/140.pdf).

2011 we had organized the

2nd International Symposium on: Mass Spectrometry in Life Sciences
(23-26 August 2011)

Currently, the following services are offered from the facility: 1.Molecular mass measurement of intact proteins and peptides 2.Identification of 1 D and 2 D gel separated proteins 3.In-solution digestion and characterization of proteins 4.De novo sequencing of peptides
