The Centre for Analytical Biochemistry and Biomedical Mass Spectrometry was founded in 2003 and located for 10 years at the University of Konstanz. The Laboratory is directed by Professor Michael Przybylski, Director of the Centre and Chair of the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory. After relocation in Rüsselsheim am Main 2015, Professor Przybylski is presently CSO and Head of the newly founded Centre. The laboratory has made numerous developments and inventions in biopolymer mass spectrometry, combined with protein- and peptide-chemical methods, tertiary structure analysis by protein-chemical modification and mass spectrometry, and the mass spectrometric determination of biopolymer recognition structures. The Laboratory has invented proteolytic-excision mass spectrometry for the elucidation of protein-ligand interaction structures, and peptide/protein epitopes, and elucidated the structure of a number of biological peptides and proteins, such as Lung Surfactant protein-C.
