An interesting model, ignoring also the general concept about where sialylation takes place … and MCP is not exactly the easiest journal to get into … doi.org/10.1074/mcp....

There too many such papers around these days, but now with tools such as fragpipe for intact glycopeptides, there’s no longer an excuse …

Yes, I believe so … as judged by how some people cite my own papers sometimes, never mind how other people’s papers get cited …

My university can take part in the new OeAW call *APART-USA*. The university can therefore appoint *one scholarship holder* as well as nominate *a reserve candidate*. Deadline to send a letter of interest is 5th August! Candidates must be postdocs in the US.

My last opera visit of the season @WrStaatsoper
Tchaikovsky‘s Pique Dame (Пиковая дама, Queen of Spades) with Anna Netrebko and (separated husband) Yusif Eyvazov in the main two roles. Whatever one thinks of some aspects of the production, an exciting performance! The conductor was a „stand-in“!
