Affinity-based approaches in combination with mass spectrometry for molecular structure identification in biological complexes such as protein-protein, and protein-carbohydrate complexes have become popular in recent years. Affinity-mass spectrometry involves immobilization of a biomolecule on a chemically activated support, affinity binding of ligand(s), dissociation of the complex, and mass spectrometric analysis of the bound fraction. In this chapter the affinity-mass spectrometric methodologies will be presented for (1) identification of the epitope structures in the Abeta amyloid peptide, (2) identification of oxidative modifications in proteins such as nitration of tyrosine, (3) determination of carbohydrate recognition domains, and as (4) development of a biosensor chip-based mass spectrometric system for concomitant quantification and identification of protein-ligand complexes.

Human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) and class II (HLA-II) proteins play an essential role in epitope binding and presentation to initiate an immune response. Accurate prediction of peptide-HLA (pHLA) binding and presentation is critical for developing effective immunotherapies. However, current tools can predict antigens exclusively for pHLA-I or pHLA-II, but not both; have constraints on peptide length; and commonly show unsatisfactory predictive accuracy.

Phyllanthi Fructus (PF) is a tropical fruit with the potential to effectively reduce postprandial blood glucose. However, the lack of quantitative evaluation methods and comprehensive understanding of hypoglycemic active compounds has hindered the development and application of functional foods and dietary supplements derived from PF. In this study, based on the "mass reaction parallel line method", with acarbose as the control and PF extract as the test material, a biological evaluation method for PF hypoglycemic activity based on α-glucosidase inhibition was established for the first time.

Affinity-oriented online ligand screening with LC coupled to different detectors is widely popular to capture active compounds from herbal medicines (HMs). However, false-positive extensively occurs because insufficient information is recorded for the existence and stability of ligand-protein complex. Here, efforts were made to advance the hit confidences via configuring post-column infusion-LC-energy-resolved-affinity MS (PCI-LC-ER-AMS) to achieve "four-in-one" monitoring of: 1) response decrement of potential ligands; 2) response decrement of protein; 3) ions relating to ligand-protein complexes; and 4) ligand-protein binding strength.

Pathogenic bacteria, including drug-resistant variants such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), can cause severe infections in the human body. Early detection of MRSA is essential for clinical diagnosis and proper treatment, considering the distinct therapeutic strategies for methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA infections.

Objectives: Many reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods exist that can detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in different matrices. RT-PCR is highly sensitive, although viral RNA may be detected long after active infection has taken place. SARS-CoV-2 proteins have shorter detection windows hence their detection might be more meaningful.
