Really proud of this one, and grateful to the reviewers for the constructive criticism. It really is a much better paper now!
Key Points. Deep proteomics defines a complete, contamination-free RBC proteome (3,775 proteins) and O2-dependent interactome by Xlinking proteomicsThe Ban
Labor of love announcement:
Red blood cells make up 83% of the cells in the human body. Mature RBCs lack nuclei (no gene expression) and organelles, and >90% of their dry weight is hemoglobin. Yet we have lacked a clean, contamination-free map of their proteome.
Until now.

Red blood cells (RBCs) have long been regarded as passive oxygen carriers, yet growing evidence reveals a complex, dynamic proteome independent of de novo gene expression. Here, we define the erythroc...
