Overview
Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has recently become a powerful strategy for delineating protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and analyzing structures of large protein assemblies within large multi-subunit protein complexes. XL-MS has been proven to be effective in elucidating molecular details of PPIs at the peptide resolution, providing a complementary set of structural data that can be utilized to refine existing complex structures or direct de novo modeling of unknown protein structures.
In this webinar, we will describe the development of a novel class of MS-cleavable cross-linkers shown to be effective in facilitating the unambiguous identification of cross-linked peptides, as the resulting cross-linked products can be identified based on their characteristic and simplified fragmentation behavior during MS analysis with great utility for in vivo studies.
The potential of this technology is enormous, and with continued advances in mass spectrometry instrumentation, this new XL-MS strategy has been shown to map in vivo PPIs from mammalian cells at both the proteome scale and the targeted protein complex level.
