Published: April 2018

Over the past years, native mass spectrometry and ion mobility have grown into techniques that are widely applicable to the study of aspects of protein structure. More recently, it has become apparent that this approach provides a very promising avenue for the investigation of integral membrane proteins in lipid or detergent environments.In this chapter, we discuss applications of native mass spectrometry and ion mobility in membrane protein research-what is important to take into consideration when working with membrane proteins, and what the requirements are for sample preparation for native mass spectrometry. Furthermore, we will discuss the types of information provided by the measurements, including the oligomeric state, subunit composition and stoichiometry, interactions with detergents or lipids, conformational transitions, and the binding and structural effect of ligands and drugs.

This study investigates the effect of ultrasonic-assisted preparation on the structural and physicochemical properties of water caltrop starch-palmitic acid complexes as a function of ultrasound intensity and treatment time. All samples exhibited the characteristic birefringence of starch-lipid complexes under the polarized microscope, and flake-like and irregular structure under scanning electron microscope (SEM), indicating the formation of complexes through ultrasonic-assisted preparation. X-ray diffraction pattern further confirmed the transition from the original A-type structure for native starch to V-type structure for starch-lipid complexes, and the relative crystallinity of starch-lipid complexes increased as the ultrasound intensity and treatment time increased.

Native Mass Spectrometry (nMS) is a versatile technique for elucidating protein structure. Surface-Induced Dissociation (SID) is an activation method in tandem MS predominantly employed for determining protein complex stoichiometry alongside information about interface strengths. SID-nMS data can be collected over a range of acceleration energies, yielding Energy Resolved Mass Spectrometry (ERMS) data.
