Protein Complex Heterogeneity and Topology Revealed by Electron Capture Charge Reduction and Surface Induced Dissociation

​​

Shaw, J. B. [Co-Corresponding Author] et al. ACS Central Science DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.4c00461

Here, we demonstrate the utility of native MS combined with gas phase charge reduction and surface induced dissociation for the characterization of protein complex topology and heterogeneity

​

Shaw, J. B. [Corresponding Author] et al. Anal. Chem. 2022, 94, 3888–3896.

In this study, we use ion mobility spectrometry to separate ECD product ions and decongest top-down MS/MS spectra for greatly increased protein sequence coverage and other figures of merit.

​

Shaw, J. B. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 12646-12651.

In this work, we implemented 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer for top-down protein characterization. We demonstrated unprecedent capabilities for intact protein characterization.

​

Shaw, J. B. and Brodbelt, J. S. Anal. Chem. 2013, 85, 8313-8318.

In this study, we demonstrated simple modifications to Orbitrap mass spectrometers can significantly improve detection of large proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies.
