Description
Even the first protein structural models were built using X-ray crystallography sixty years ago; there are still many protein sequences with unknown 3-D structure. The tremendous progress in mass spectrometry in last decades opened the space for studying protein folding, protein/ligand interactions and protein dynamics in solution. The potential of ion mobility, chemical cross-linking and hydrogen/deuterium exchange for structural biology will be discussed.
