Seminar – June 25th 10:00-11:00am “Uncovering Antimicrobial Peptide Interactions in Lipid Nanodiscs by Native MS”

A special seminar will be presented by Dr. Michael T. Marty (University of Arizona) on
Uncovering Antimicrobial Peptide Interactions in Lipid Nanodiscs by Native MS.

Tuesday, June 25th
10:00-11:00 am
BRT 105

Research in the Marty lab is focused on developing mass spectrometry methods to study the structure and biophysics of membrane proteins. Working at the interface of Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry, they utilize lipoprotein Nanodiscs to solubilize membrane proteins in a lipid bilayer with a defined composition. Dr. Marty is at the forefront of development of new computational approaches and software for analysis of native MS data. This work builds on UniDec software developed to rapidly and robustly deconvolve mass and ion mobility spectra.

The seminar is supported by the Resource for Native MS-Guided Structural Biology.
