May
Time Tuesday 30 May, 2023 at 12:00 - 13:00
Place Glasburen, KBC, and Zoom

In the frame of the “SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series”, the seminars will be organised every second Tuesday during spring 2023. The seminars will be held in a hybrid format IRL in Glasburen, KBC, and online via Zoom. Learn more about the seminar series and Schedule for Spring 2023 here.

On May 30th, 12:00-13:00, SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series presents:

Cross-linking (XL-MS) and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) are powerful techniques in structural proteomics. XL-MS provides evidence of proteins interacting with each other as well as structural information of individual proteins or protein complexes by specifying (alt - identifying or providing?) distance constraints between two cross-linked peptides. The distance constraints arise from the defined length of the cross-linker used. HDX-MS analysis can be used to obtain information on structure, protein-protein interaction sites, allosteric effects, intrinsic disorder, and conformational changes. HDX-MS takes advantage of the labile nature of the exchangeable protons present on protein backbone amides. When dissolved in solution, proteins exchange these protons with hydrogen groups present in a deuterated buffer The rate of hydrogen to deuterium exchange can be measured by MS, and provides a measure of solvent accessibility and used to infer structural information. Examples from successful user projects will be shown, e.g large scale epitope mapping and XL-MS.
