(Re)solution of a protein fold without solution

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Who needs water? The gas phase may seem an esoteric place to examine the structures of proteins, but a new study reveals that the solution fold of the protein KIX can be retained for significant time periods in a mass spectrometer. Once in this ideal laboratory environment, details of the higher order fold can be elucidated at the single amino acid level. Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
