Membrane proteins bind lipids selectively to modulate their structure and function

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that resistance to unfolding correlates with specific lipid-binding events, enabling a distinction to be made between lipids that merely bind from those that modulate membrane protein structure and/or function.

Recommendations for reporting ion mobility Mass Spectrometry measurements

TL;DR: A guide to ion mobility mass spectrometry experiments, which covers both linear and nonlinear methods: what is measured, how the measurements are done, and how to report the results, including the uncertainties of mobility and collision cross section values.

Photodissociation mass spectrometry: new tools for characterization of biological molecules.

TL;DR: This review focuses on many of the key developments in photodissociation mass spectrometry over the past decade with a particular emphasis on its applications to biological molecules.

Lysine-specific chemical cross-linking of protein complexes and identification of cross-linking sites using LC-MS/MS and the xQuest/xProphet software pipeline

TL;DR: A protocol that has been successfully used to generate XL-MS data from a multitude of native proteins and protein complexes is presented and should take ∼4 d to complete, and it is generally applicable to purified proteins andprotein complexes.

Charge-State Dependent Compaction and Dissociation of Protein Complexes: Insights from Ion Mobility and Molecular Dynamics

TL;DR: It is found that all four macromolecular complexes retain their native-like topologies at low energy during collisional activation, using ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS), and this has implications for further studies as well as for understanding the process of CID and for applications to gas-phase structural biology more generally.

Amyloid-β protein oligomerization and the importance of tetramers and dodecamers in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: This work presents a new analysis method, ion mobility coupled with mass spectrometry, for determination of in vitro oligomer distributions and the qualitative structure of each of the aggregates, which provides a candidate in the Aβ42 dodecamer for the primary toxic species in Alzheimer's disease.

Collision Cross Sections of Proteins and Their Complexes: A Calibration Framework and Database for Gas-Phase Structural Biology

TL;DR: This database indicates that collision cross sections in both helium and nitrogen gases can be well-correlated for larger biomolecular ions, but non-cor related differences for smaller ions can be more significant.
