Abstract
Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) covalent labeling-mass spectrometry (CL-MS) has been extensively utilized to study protein structure and interactions owing to its ease of use, commercial availability, and broad labeling of nucleophilic residues. During typical CL-MS experiments with DEPC, the extent of labeling is kept low to avoid any structural perturbations resulting from covalent modification of the protein. In this study, we demonstrate that proteins can be labeled more extensively via DEPC and still provide accurate structural information. To show this, we modeled labeling kinetics over a range of DEPC concentrations and used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the molecular-level effects of extensive labeling on the protein structure. Our results indicate that higher extents of DEPC labeling do not significantly perturb the protein structure and can lead to improved precision, detectability of labeled peptides, and protein structural resolution. Furthermore, higher extents of labeling enable better identification of protein-ligand binding sites where lower extents of modification provide ambiguous results.

Abstract
In this work, we employ a recently developed biophysical technique that uses diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) covalent labeling and mass spectrometry for the identification of mAb binding patches to two multimodal cation exchange resins at different pH. This approach compares the labeling results obtained in the bound and unbound states to identify residues that are sterically shielded and thus located in the mAb binding domains. The results at pH 6 for one mAb (mAb B) indicated that while the complementarity determining region (CDR) had minimal interactions with both resins, the FC domain was actively involved in binding. In contrast, DEPC/MS data with another mAb (mAb C) indicated that both the CDR and FC domains were actively involved in binding. These results corroborated chromatographic retention data with these two mAbs and their fragments and helped to explain the significantly stronger retention of both the intact mAb C and its Fab fragment. In contrast, labeling results with mAb C at pH 7, indicated that only the CDR played a significant role in resin binding, again corroborating chromatographic data. The binding domains identified from the DEPC/MS experiments were also examined using protein surface hydrophobicity maps obtained using a recently developed sparse sampling molecular dynamics (MD) approach in concert with electrostatic potential maps. These results demonstrate that the DEPC covalent labeling/mass spectrometry technique can provide important information about the domain contributions of multidomain proteins such as monoclonal antibodies when interacting with multimodal resins over a range of pH conditions.

Abstract
Studies of structural changes in mAbs under forced stress and storage conditions are essential for the recognition of degradation hotspots, which can be further remodeled to improve the stability of the respective protein. Herein, we used diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC)-based covalent labeling mass spectrometry (CL-MS) to assess structural changes in a model mAb (SILuMAb). Structural changes in the heat-stressed mAb samples were confirmed at specific amino acid positions from the DEPC label mass seen in the fragment ion mass spectrum. The degree of structural change was also quantified by increased or decreased DEPC labeling at specific sites; an increase or decrease indicated an unfolded or aggregated state of the mAb, respectively. Strikingly, for heat-stressed SILuMAb samples, an aggregation-prone area was identified in the CDR region. In the case of longterm stress, the structural consequences for SILuMAb samples stored for up to two years at 2-8 °C were studied with SEC-UV and DEPC-based CL-MS. While SEC-UV analysis only indicated fragmentation of SILuMAb, DEPC-based CL-MS analysis further pinpointed the finding to structural disturbances of disulfide bonds at specific cysteines. This emphasized the utility of DEPC CL-MS for studying disulfide rearrangement. Taken together, our data suggests that DEPC CL-MS can complement more technically challenging methods in the evaluation of the structural stability of mAbs.

Abstract
Antigen-antibody interactions are a fundamental subset of protein-protein interactions responsible for the "survival of the fittest". Determining the interacting interface of the antigen, called an epitope, and that on the antibody, called a paratope, is crucial to antibody development. Because each antigen presents multiple epitopes (unique footprints), sophisticated approaches are required to determine the target region for a given antibody. Although X-ray crystallography, Cryo-EM, and nuclear magnetic resonance can provide atomic details of an epitope, they are often laborious, poor in throughput, and insensitive. Mass spectrometry-based approaches offer rapid turnaround, intermediate structural resolution, and virtually no size limit for the antigen, making them a vital approach for epitope mapping. In this review, we describe in detail the principles of hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry in application to epitope mapping. We also show that a combination of MS-based approaches can assist or complement epitope mapping and push the limit of structural resolution to the residue level. We describe in detail the MS methods used in epitope mapping, provide our perspective about the approaches, and focus on elucidating the role that HDX-MS is playing now and in the future by organizing a discussion centered around several improvements in prototype instrument/applications used for epitope mapping. At the end, we provide a tabular summary of the current literature on HDX-MS-based epitope mapping.

Abstract
Membrane proteins are vital in the human proteome for their cellular functions and make up a majority of drug targets in the U.S. However, characterizing their higher-order structures and interactions remains challenging. Most often membrane proteins are studied in artificial membranes, but such artificial systems do not fully account for the diversity of components present in cell membranes. In this study, we demonstrate that diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) covalent labeling mass spectrometry can provide binding site information for membrane proteins in living cells using membrane-bound tumor necrosis factor α (mTNFα) as a model system. Using three therapeutic monoclonal antibodies that bind TNFα, our results show that residues that are buried in the epitope upon antibody binding generally decrease in DEPC labeling extent. Additionally, serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues on the periphery of the epitope increase in labeling upon antibody binding because of a more hydrophobic microenvironment that is created. We also observe changes in labeling away from the epitope, indicating changes to the packing of the mTNFα homotrimer, compaction of the mTNFα trimer against the cell membrane, and/or previously uncharacterized allosteric changes upon antibody binding. Overall, DEPC-based covalent labeling mass spectrometry offers an effective means of characterizing structure and interactions of membrane proteins in living cells.

Abstract
Characterization of antibody binding epitopes is an important factor in therapeutic drug discovery, as the binding site determines and drives antibody pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. Here, we present a novel application of carbene chemical footprinting with mass spectrometry for identification of antibody binding epitopes at the single-residue level. Two different photoactivated diazirine reagents provide complementary labeling information allowing structural refinement of the antibody binding interface. We applied this technique to map the epitopes of multiple MICA and CTLA-4 antibodies and validated the findings with X-ray crystallography and yeast surface display epitope mapping. The characterized epitopes were used to understand biolayer interferometry-derived competitive binding results at the structural level. We show that carbene footprinting provides fast and high-resolution epitope information critical in the antibody selection process and enables mechanistic understanding of function to accelerate the drug discovery process.

Abstract
There is significant interest in identifying the preferred binding domains of biological products to various chromatographic materials. In this work, we develop a biophysical technique that uses diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) based covalent labeling in concert with enzymatic digestion and mass spectrometry to identify the binding patches for proteins bound to commercially available multimodal (MM) cation exchange chromatography resins. The technique compares the changes in covalent labeling of the protein in solution and in the bound state and uses the differences in this labeling to identify residues that are sterically shielded upon resin binding and, therefore, potentially involved in the resin binding process. Importantly, this approach enables the labeling of many amino acids and can be carried out over a pH range of 5.5-7.5, thus enabling the protein surface mapping at conditions of interest in MM cation exchange systems. The protocol is first developed using the model protein ubiquitin and the results indicate that lysine residues located on the front face of the protein show dramatic changes in DEPC labeling while residues present on other regions have minimal or no reductions. This indicates that the front face of ubiquitin is likely involved in resin binding. In addition, surface property maps indicate that the hypothesized front face binding region consists of overlapping positively charged and hydrophobic patches. The technique is then employed with an IgG1 FC and the results indicate that residues on the CH 2-CH 3 interface and the hinge are significantly sterically shielded upon binding to the resin. Further, these regions are again associated with significant overlap of positively charged and hydrophobic patches. On the other hand, while, residues on the CH 2 and the front face of the IgG1 FC also exhibited some changes in DEPC labeling upon binding, these regions have less distinct charged and hydrophobic patches. Importantly, the hypothesized binding patches identified for both ubiquitin and FC using this approach are shown to be consistent with previously reported NMR studies. In contrast to NMR, this new approach enables the identification of preferred binding regions without the need for isotopically labeled proteins or chemical shift assignments. The technique developed in this work sets the stage for the evaluation of the binding domains of a wide range of biological products to chromatographic surfaces, with important implications for designing biomolecules with improved biomanufacturability properties.

Abstract
Membrane-associated proteins are important because they mediate interactions between a cell's external and internal environment and they are often targets of therapeutics. Characterizing their structures and binding interactions, however, is challenging because they typically must be solubilized using artificial membrane systems that can make measurements difficult. Mass spectrometry (MS) is emerging as a valuable tool for studying membrane-associated proteins, and covalent labeling MS has unique potential to provide higher order structure and binding information for these proteins in complicated membrane systems. Here, we demonstrate that diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) can be effectively used as a labeling reagent to characterize the binding interactions between a membrane-associated protein and its binding partners in an artificial membrane system. Using chemotaxis histidine kinase (CheA) as a model system, we demonstrate that DEPC-based covalent labeling MS can provide structural and binding information about the ternary complex of CheA with two other proteins that is consistent with structural models of this membrane-associated chemoreceptor system. Despite the moderate hydrophobicity of DEPC, we find that its reactivity with proteins is not substantially influenced by the presence of the artificial membranes. However, correct structural information for this multiprotein chemoreceptor system requires measurements of DEPC labeling at multiple reagent concentrations to enable an accurate comparison between CheA and its ternary complex in the chemoreceptor system. In addition to providing structural information that is consistent with the model of this complex system, the labeling data supplements structural information that is not sufficiently refined in the chemoreceptor model.

Abstract
Characterizing antibody-antigen interactions is necessary for properly developing therapeutic antibodies, understanding their mechanisms of action, and patenting new drug molecules. Here, we demonstrate that hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) measurements together with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) covalent labeling (CL) MS measurements provide higher order structural information about antibody-antigen interactions that is not available from either technique alone. Using the well-characterized model system of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) in complex with three different monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), we show that two techniques offer a more complete overall picture of TNFα's structural changes upon binding different mAbs, sometimes providing synergistic information about binding sites and changes in protein dynamics upon binding. Labeling decreases in CL generally occur near the TNFα epitope, whereas decreases in HDX can span the entire protein due to substantial stabilization that occurs when mAbs bind TNFα. Considering both data sets together clarifies the TNFα regions that undergo a decrease in solvent exposure due to mAb binding and that undergo a change in dynamics due to mAb binding. Moreover, the single-residue level resolution of DEPC-CL/MS can clarify HDX/MS data for long peptides. We feel that the two techniques should be used together when studying the mAb-antigen interactions because of the complementary information they provide.
