Characterization of protein structure modifications is an important field in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Here, we describe a process to quickly and reliably identify a mass change in a targeted protein sequence by top-down mass spectrometry (TD MS) using electron transfer dissociation (ETD). The step-by-step procedure describes how to develop a TD MS method for data acquisition as well as the data analysis process. The described TD MS workflow utilizes diagnostic ions to characterize an unknown sample in a few hours.
