A small group of antibodies in your blood stays the same for years, even after vaccines. A group of scientists from Utrecht University and their international collaborators report this discovery in Science Advances. These stable antibodies create a unique and personal immune "fingerprint" that barely...
By modifying and boosting lab equipment, a team of chemists are able to measure individual molecules with unprecedented precision. This precision relates to being able to tell that one single sugar grain is missing from a full 1 kilogram bag of sugar. Their massive resolution...

At the interface of art and science - athletic dancing bodies depict the equally flexible antibodies present in our bodies! Inspired by the research of the Hecklab of Utrecht University, the researchers collaborated with video performers from Sensu and the dancers from the Aerialettes, to visualize...
To further explore the boundaries of single particle native mass spectrometry using charge detection on an Orbitrap Tobias Wörner Utrecht University tracked the flight paths of individual virus particles for several kilometers and observed that their trajectories are remarkably stable. This in-depth analysis of the...
Er is een eiwitrevolutie aan de gang. De ene na de andere belangrijke ontwikkeling wordt gemeld. AlphaFold, een AI-programma ontwikkeld door Googles onderzoeksafdeling DeepMind, presenteerde onlangs baanbrekend onderzoek. Hoogleraar Albert Heck: ‘Het is zeker een paradigmawisseling, maar magie is het niet.’ https://www.vprogids.nl/2021/44/editie?pagina=24...
BILLERICA, Massachusetts – August 8, 2020 – Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced a collaboration with Utrecht University to advance the study of the 3-D structures and interactions of proteins by mass spectrometry. The laboratory of Albert Heck at Utrecht University has been a leader...
We demonstrate single-particle charge detection mass spectrometry on an Orbitrap for the analysis of megadalton biomolecular assemblies. We establish that the signal amplitudes of individual ions scale linearly with their charge, which can be used to resolve mixed ion populations, determine charge states and thus...
