Abstract
Noncovalent interactions are essential for the structural organization of biomacromolecules in cells. For this reason, the study of the biophysical, dynamic, and architectural interactions among biomacromolecules is essential. Since mass spectrometry requires compatible solutions while preserving the noncovalent bonding network, we envisioned that size exclusion chromatography coupled with ion mobility and mass spectrometry would be a valuable technique to desalt the initial sample and provide solution and gas-phase structural information in a single stage experiment. Such coupling allowed obtaining information on solution protein complex composition with SEC separation and on authenticity and purity with IMS-MS. Our study demonstrated that such coupling is compatible, useful, as well as suitable for a routine analysis, in pharmaceutical industry, for example. Mobility data were reliable and injected standards allowed calibrating the collision cross-section scale. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
