Using phosphatase inhibitor beads coupled with mass spectrometry (PIB-MS) to parse phosphoprotein phosphatase signaling.
In our Nature Protocol, we present step by step instructions on how to make phosphatase inhibitor beads, enrich lysates for phosphoprotein phosphatases, multiplex, phosphopeptide enrich, and analyze samples by mass spectrometry to systematically study the major drivers of protein dephosphorylation.
High efficiency green InP quantum dot light-emitting diodes by balancing electron and hole mobility
Upon modifying cadmium-free InP quantum dot emitting layer by passivation with 1,4-butanediamine and zinc iodide, we successfully decrease electron mobility and enhances the hole transport in the InP QLED. As a result of optimizing the electrons and hole injection, it leads to green 545 nm InP QLED with a maximum quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.3% and a current efficiency of 57.5 cd/A.
