Capturing and Characterising Wild Yeast for Beer Brewing

The paper develops a pipeline to collect, characterize, and scale wild yeast for beer brewing, identifying interventions to overcome industrial fermentation challenges.

Electron-Activated Dissociation and Collision-Induced Dissociation Glycopeptide Fragmentation for Improved Glycoproteomics

This study compares fragmentation methods for glycopeptide analysis, finding CID identifies more glycopeptides while EAD improves site localization, and EAciD combines both benefits.

Proteomics and metabolomics reveal an abundant α-glucosidase drives sorghum fermentability for beer brewing.

The paper uses proteomics and metabolomics to analyze sorghum brewing, finding that an abundant α-glucosidase drives fermentability despite lower β-amylase levels.

The post-translational modification landscape of commercial beers

This study analyzes the post-translational modification landscape of 23 commercial Australian beers using DIA/SWATH-MS, revealing high diversity in PTMs and brewery-specific glyco/proteome profiles.

Benchtop micro-mashing: high-throughput, robust, experimental beer brewing

This paper introduces a micro-scale brewing method that enables high-throughput, replicable mashing for beer brewing, showing consistent proteomic and fermentable profiles across scales.

Proteomics reveals commitment to germination in barley seeds is marked by loss of stress response proteins and mobilisation of nutrient reservoirs

This study uses proteomics to show that barley seed germination involves loss of stress proteins and mobilization of nutrient stores, with differences in dormant seeds.

The intrinsic and regulated proteomes of barley seeds in response to fungal infection

This study quantifies changes in barley seed proteomes under fungal infection using SWATH-MS, finding minimal and variable effects on seed proteins.

Post-translational modifications drive protein stability to control the dynamic beer brewing proteome

The paper examines how temperature and time affect protein stability and abundance during beer mashing, showing that structural and sequence features influence protein retention.

Proteomics reveals profound metabolic changes in the alcohol use disorder brain

The paper uses proteomics to identify metabolic changes in the brains of individuals with alcohol use disorder, revealing a shift toward acetate utilization.
