Abstract

Native mass spectrometry and native ion mobility mass spectrometry are now established techniques in structural biology, with recent work developing these methods for the study of integral membrane proteins reconstituted in both lipid bilayer and detergent environments. Here we show how native mass spectrometry can be used to interrogate integral membrane proteins, providing insights into conformation, oligomerization, subunit composition/stoichiometry, and interactions with detergents/lipids/drugs. Furthermore, we discuss the sample requirements and experimental considerations unique to integral membrane protein native mass spectrometry research.
