BELLA is a laser-driven proton source run by the ATAP division at Berkeley Lab. We were able to try out proton irradiation of peptides in solution to test oxidation effects. A huge thanks to Lotti and Jared and the rest of the team at BELLA, who all put in some very late nights to help with this experiment.
We were well represented at the Biophysical Society meeting this year. Sayan gave a talk, Simruthi gave a flash talk and a poster, and Savannah gave a poster. Way to go XFMS team!
