Busy start to 2018 already, and we have kick started with successful protein extractions of our anemones! Next steps will include a few more extractions from different parts of the animal as well as the footprint (the glue left behind), in order to seek out any specific proteins involved in adhesion. We will also be doing Mass spectrometry! Mass spectrometry will give us vital information to identify the extracted proteins. We are looking forward to doing some collision-induced dissociation of these peptides. Freaaaky!

Happy New Year from Newcastle!
