Studying protein-drug complexes under native conditions in the low nM range using MRMS
Protein ligand complexes need to be preserved through the electrospray and detection process. This work describes high resolution native mass spectrometric measurements of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase II (Figure 1) and the non-covalent complex with the substrate acetazolamide (Figure 2) using a sci...

Incorporating CCS values to enable 4-dimensional annotation of metabolic features
Reliable annotation of metabolites for LC-MS/MS based data requires the adept combination of many parameters such as retention time and accurate mass. To extend our parameter portfolio, we analyzed the high reproducible measured CCS values using trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) to provide ad... More

prm-PASEF®: enabling high-throughput, high sensitivity targeted proteomics
In comparison with standard selected and parallel reaction monitoring (SRM and PRM), the prm-PASEF increases the number of peptides that can be targeted in a single acquisition method, without compromising the selectivity or the sensitivity. Using a prototype acquisition software, we targeted 201 is... More

MRMS powered single cell metabolomics – Quantification of picogram amounts of a biocatalytic product from few living cells
Probing the metabolic state of living microbial cells via their secreted metabolic products is highly challenging as it requires measures to maintain the cellular integrity and to collect the analytes. This application note demonstrates how direct infusion magnetic resonance mass spectrometry (DI-MR... More
Protocol
Ultra-high sensitivity proteomics on the timsTOF SCP
The timsTOF Pro platform, introduced in 2017, already featured a sensitivity boost from the Parallel Accumulation SErial Fragmentation (PASEF) technology, which provides time and space focusing of the ions in the Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry (TIMS) tunnel. The timsTOF SCP platform further enhan... More
