Abstract
Membrane proteins are often challenging targets for native top-down mass spectrometry experimentation. The requisite use of membrane mimetics to solubilize such proteins necessitates the application of supplementary activation methods to liberate protein ions prior to sequencing, which typically limits the sequence coverage achieved. Recently, infrared photoactivation has emerged as an alternative to collisional activation for the liberation of membrane proteins from surfactant micelles. However, much remains unknown regarding the mechanism by which IR activation liberates membrane protein ions from such micelles, the extent to which such methods can improve membrane protein sequence coverage, and the degree to which such approaches can be extended to support native proteomics. Here, we describe experiments designed to evaluate and probe infrared photoactivation for membrane protein sequencing, proteoform identification, and native proteomics applications. Our data reveal that infrared photoactivation can dissociate micelles composed of a variety of detergent classes, without the need for a strong IR chromophore by leveraging the relatively weak association energies of such detergent clusters in the gas phase. Additionally, our data illustrate how IR photoactivation can be extended to include membrane mimetics beyond micelles and liberate proteins from nanodiscs, liposomes, and bicelles. Finally, our data quantify the improvements in membrane protein sequence coverage produced through the use of IR photoactivation, which typically leads to membrane protein sequence coverage values ranging from 40 to 60%.

Abstract
Membrane proteins are challenging to analyze by native mass spectrometry (MS) as their hydrophobic nature typically requires stabilization in detergent micelles that are removed prior to analysis via collisional activation. There is however a practical limit to the amount of energy which can be applied, which often precludes subsequent characterization by top-down MS. To overcome this barrier, we have applied a modified Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer coupled to an infrared laser within a high-pressure linear ion trap. We show how tuning the intensity and time of incident photons enables liberation of membrane proteins from detergent micelles. Specifically, we relate the ease of micelle removal to the infrared absorption of detergents in both condensed and gas phases. Top-down MS via infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), results in good sequence coverage enabling unambiguous identification of membrane proteins and their complexes. By contrasting and comparing the fragmentation patterns of the ammonia channel with two class A GPCRs, we identify successive cleavage of adjacent amino acids within transmembrane domains. Using gas-phase molecular dynamics simulations, we show that areas prone to fragmentation maintain aspects of protein structure at increasing temperatures. Altogether, we propose a rationale to explain why and where in the protein fragment ions are generated.

Abstract
Nonionic surfactants are often used as general reagents for cell lysis enabling protein extraction, stabilization, and purification under nondenaturing conditions for downstream analysis in structural biology. However, the presence of surfactants in the sample matrix often has a deleterious effect on electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of proteins and complexes. Here, we report a nonionic, cleavable surfactant, n-decyl-disulfide-β-D-maltoside (DSSM), for top-down proteomics. DSSM was designed to mimic the properties of one of the most common surfactants used in structural biology, n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM), but contains a disulfide bond that allows for facile cleavage and surfactant removal before or during MS analysis. We have shown that DSSM is compatible with direct electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS analysis and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC)-MS analysis of proteins and protein complexes. We have demonstrated that DSSM can facilitate top-down proteomic characterization of membrane proteins such as a model ion channel protein and a G protein-coupled receptor as well as endogenous proteins from cell lysates for the determination of sequence variations and posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Conceivably, DSSM could serve as a general replacement for DDM in proteomic experiments and structural biology studies.

Abstract
Progress in structural biology research has led to a high demand for powerful and yet complementary analytical tools for structural characterization of proteins and protein complexes. This demand has significantly increased interest in native mass spectrometry (nMS), particularly native top-down mass spectrometry (nTDMS) in the past decade. This review highlights recent advances in nTDMS for structural research of biological assemblies, with a particular focus on the extra multi-layers of information enabled by TDMS. We include a short introduction of sample preparation and ionization to nMS, tandem fragmentation techniques as well as mass analyzers and software/analysis pipelines used for nTDMS. We highlight unique structural information offered by nTDMS and examples of its broad range of applications in proteins, protein-ligand interactions (metal, cofactor/drug, DNA/RNA, and protein), therapeutic antibodies and antigen-antibody complexes, membrane proteins, macromolecular machineries (ribosome, nucleosome, proteosome, and viruses), to endogenous protein complexes. The challenges, potential, along with perspectives of nTDMS methods for the analysis of proteins and protein assemblies in recombinant and biological samples are discussed.

Abstract
Native mass spectrometry (nMS) is evolving into a workhorse for structural biology. The plethora of online and offline preparation, separation, and purification methods as well as numerous ionization techniques combined with powerful new hybrid ion mobility and mass spectrometry systems has illustrated the great potential of nMS for structural biology. Fundamental to the progression of nMS has been the development of novel activation methods for dissociating proteins and protein complexes to deduce primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure through the combined use of multiple MS/MS technologies. This review highlights the key features and advantages of surface collisions (surface-induced dissociation, SID) for probing the connectivity of subunits within protein and nucleoprotein complexes and, in particular, for solving protein structure in conjunction with complementary techniques such as cryo-EM and computational modeling. Several case studies highlight the significant role SID, and more generally nMS, will play in structural elucidation of biological assemblies in the future as the technology becomes more widely adopted. Cases are presented where SID agrees with solved crystal or cryoEM structures or provides connectivity maps that are otherwise inaccessible by "gold standard" structural biology techniques.

Abstract
![]()
Native mass spectrometry
(MS) involves the analysis and characterization
of macromolecules, predominantly intact proteins and protein complexes,
whereby as much as possible the native structural features of the
analytes are retained. As such, native MS enables the study of secondary,
tertiary, and even quaternary structure of proteins and other biomolecules.
Native MS represents a relatively recent addition to the analytical
toolbox of mass spectrometry and has over the past decade experienced
immense growth, especially in enhancing sensitivity and resolving
power but also in ease of use. With the advent of dedicated mass analyzers,
sample preparation and separation approaches, targeted fragmentation
techniques, and software solutions, the number of practitioners and
novel applications has risen in both academia and industry. This review
focuses on recent developments, particularly in high-resolution native
MS, describing applications in the structural analysis of protein
assemblies, proteoform profiling of—among others—biopharmaceuticals
and plasma proteins, and quantitative and qualitative analysis of
protein–ligand interactions, with the latter covering lipid,
drug, and carbohydrate molecules, to name a few.

Abstract
Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) has been used in mass spectrometry to fragment peptides and proteins, providing fragments mostly similar to collisional activation. Using the 10.6 μm wavelength of a CO2 laser, IRMPD suffers from the relative low absorption cross-section of peptides and small proteins. Focusing on top-down analysis, we investigate different means to tackle this issue. We first reassess efficient sorting of phosphopeptides from nonphosphopeptides based on IR-absorption cross-sectional enhancement by phosphate moieties. We subsequently demonstrate that a myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) noncovalent adduct can substantially enhance IRMPD for nonphosphopeptides and that this strategy can be extended to proteins. As a natural next step, we show that native phospho-proteoforms of proteins display a distinct and enhanced fragmentation, compared to their unmodified counterparts, facilitating phospho-group site localization. We then evaluate the impact of size on the IRMPD of proteins and their complexes. When applied to protein complexes ranging from a 365 kDa CRISPR-Cas Csy ribonucleoprotein hetero-decamer, a 800 kDa GroEL homo-tetradecamer in its apo-form or loaded with its ATP cofactor, to a 1 MDa capsid-like homo-hexacontamer, we conclude that while phosphate moieties present in crRNA and ATP molecules enhance IRMPD, an increase in the IR cross-section with the size of the protein assembly also favorably accrues dissociation yields. Overall, our work showcases the versatility of IRMPD in the top-down analysis of peptides, phosphopeptides, proteins, phosphoproteins, ribonucleoprotein assemblies, and large protein complexes.

Abstract
The three-dimensional molded interconnected device (3D-MID) has received considerable attention because of the growing demand for greater functionality and miniaturization of electronic parts. Polymer based composite are the primary choice to be used as substrate. These materials enable flexibility in production from macro to micro-MID products, high fracture toughness when subjected to mechanical loading, and they are lightweight. This survey proposes a detailed review of different types of 3D-MID modules, also presents the requirement criteria for manufacture a polymer substrate and the main surface modification techniques used to enhance the polymer substrate. The findings presented here allow to fundamentally understand the concept of 3D-MID, which can be used to manufacture a novel polymer composite substrate.

Abstract
RATIONALE Previous studies found that charge state could affect both specific and nonspecific binding of protein-metal ion interactions in nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nESI-MS). However, the two kinds of interactions have been studied individually in spite of the problem that they often coexist in the same system. Thus, it is necessary to study the effects of charge state on specific and nonspecific protein-metal ion interactions in one system to reveal more accurate binding state. METHODS The HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NCp7(31-55)) which can bind specifically and nonspecifically to Zn2+ served as the model to show the charge-dependent protein-metal ion interactions. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) and photodissociation (PD) were used to demonstrate that specific binding state was correlated with protein structure. In addition to NCp7(31-55), three other model proteins were used to investigate the reason for the charge-dependent nonspecific binding. RESULTS For specific binding, we proposed that protein ions with different charge states had different conformations. The HDX results showed that labile protons in the NCp7(31-55)-Zn complex were exchanged in a charge-state-dependent way. The PD experiments revealed differential fragment yields for different charge states. For nonspecific binding, higher charge states had more Zn2+ additions, but less SO4 2- additions. The effects of charge states on nonspecific binding levels were entirely the opposite for Zn2+ and SO4 2- . These results could reveal that the nonspecific binding was caused by electrostatic interaction. CONCLUSIONS For specific binding, NCp7(31-55) with lower charge states have folding and undenatured structures. The binding states of lower charge states can better reflect more native binding states. For nonspecific binding, when multiple metal ions adduct to proteins, the proteins have more net positive charges, which tend to generate higher charge ions during electrospray.

Abstract
Native top-down proteomics using UVPD extended to mega Dalton protein assemblies.
Native top-down mass spectrometry is emerging as a methodology that can be used to structurally investigate protein assemblies. To extend the possibilities of native top-down mass spectrometry to larger and more heterogeneous biomolecular assemblies, advances in both the mass analyzer and applied fragmentation techniques are still essential. Here, we explore ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) of protein assemblies on an Orbitrap with extended mass range, expanding its usage to large and heterogeneous macromolecular complexes, reaching masses above 1 million Da. We demonstrate that UVPD can lead not only to the ejection of intact subunits directly from such large intact complexes, but also to backbone fragmentation of these subunits, providing enough sequence information for subunit identification. The Orbitrap mass analyzer enables simultaneous monitoring of the precursor, the subunits, and the subunit fragments formed upon UVPD activation. While only partial sequence coverage of the subunits is observed, the UVPD data yields information about the localization of chromophores covalently attached to the subunits of the light harvesting complex B-phycoerythrin, extensive backbone fragmentation in a subunit of a CRISPR-Cas Csy (type I–F Cascade) complex, and sequence modifications in a virus-like proteinaceous nano-container. Through these multiple applications we demonstrate for the first time that UVPD based native top-down mass spectrometry is feasible for large and heterogeneous particles, including ribonucleoprotein complexes and MDa virus-like particles.

Abstract
Membrane proteins play critical biochemical roles but remain challenging to study. Recently, native or nondenaturing mass spectrometry (MS) has made great strides in characterizing membrane protein interactions. However, conventional native MS relies on detergent micelles, which may disrupt natural interactions. Lipoprotein nanodiscs provide a platform to present membrane proteins for native MS within a lipid bilayer environment, but previous native MS of membrane proteins in nanodiscs has been limited by the intermediate stability of nanodiscs. It is difficult to eject membrane proteins from nanodiscs for native MS but also difficult to retain intact nanodisc complexes with membrane proteins inside. Here, we employed chemical reagents that modulate the charge acquired during electrospray ionization (ESI). By modulating ESI conditions, we could either eject the membrane protein complex with few bound lipids or capture the intact membrane protein nanodisc complex-allowing measurement of the membrane protein oligomeric state within an intact lipid bilayer environment. The dramatic differences in the stability of nanodiscs under different ESI conditions opens new applications for native MS of nanodiscs.

Abstract
Native mass spectrometry is applied for the investigation of proteins and protein complexes worldwide. The challenge in native mass spectrometry is maintaining the features of the proteins of interest, such as oligomeric state, bound ligands, or the conformation of the protein complex, during transfer from solution to gas phase. This is an essential prerequisite to allow conclusions about the solution state protein complex, based on the gas phase measurements. Therefore, soft ionization techniques are required. Widely used for the analysis of protein complexes are nanoelectro spray ionization (nESI) mass spectrometers. A newer ionization method is laser induced liquid bead ion desorption (LILBID), which is based on the release of protein complexes from solution phase via infrared (IR) laser desorption. We use both methods in our lab, depending on the requirements of the biological system we are interested in. Here we benchmark the performance of our LILBID mass spectrometer in comparison to a nESI instrument, regarding sample conditions, buffer and additive tolerances, dissociation mechanism and applicability towards soluble and membrane protein complexes.

Abstract
The ability to design detergents that are suitable for protein analysis by mass spectrometry (MS) represents an on-going challenge in the field of native MS. Desirable detergent characteristics include charge-reducing properties and low gas-phase stabilities of complexes formed with proteins. In this work, the gas-phase properties of oligoglycerol detergents (OGDs) are optimized by fine tuning of their molecular structure. Furthermore, a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) approach is presented that estimates the gas-phase properties of detergents simply by studying the dissociation behaviour of protein-detergent complexes (PDCs) formed with the soluble protein β-lactoglobulin (BLG).

Abstract
Membrane protein characterization is consistently hampered by challenges with expression, purification, and solubilization. Among several biophysical techniques employed for their characterization, native-mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a powerful tool for the analysis of membrane proteins and complexes. Here, two MS platforms, the FT-ICR and Q-ToF, have been explored to analyze the homotetrameric water channel protein, AquaporinZ (AqpZ), under non-denaturing conditions. This 97 kDa membrane protein complex can be readily liberated from the octylglucoside (OG) detergent micelle under a range of instrument conditions on both MS platforms. Increasing the applied collision energy of the FT-ICR collision cell yielded varying degrees of tetramer (97 kDa) liberation from the OG micelles, as well as dissociation into the trimeric (72 kDa) and monomeric (24 kDa) substituents. Tandem-MS on the Q-ToF yielded higher intensity tetramer signal and, depending on the m/z region selected, the observed monomer signal varied in intensity. Precursor ion selection of an m/z range above the expected protein signal distribution, followed by mild collisional activation, is able to efficiently liberate AqpZ with a high S/N ratio. The tetrameric charge state distribution obtained on both instruments demonstrated superpositioning of multiple proteoforms due to varying degrees of N-terminal formylation. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has played an increasingly important role in the identification and structural and functional characterization of proteins. In particular, the use of tandem mass spectrometry has afforded one of the most versatile methods to acquire structural information for proteins and protein complexes. The unique nature of electron capture dissociation (ECD) for cleaving protein backbone bonds while preserving noncovalent interactions has made it especially suitable for the study of native protein structures. However, the intra- and intermolecular interactions stabilized by hydrogen bonds and salt bridges can hinder the separation of fragments even with preactivation, which has become particularly problematic for the study of large macromolecular proteins and protein complexes. Here, we describe the capabilities of another activation method, 30 eV electron ionization dissociation (EID), for the top-down MS characterization of native protein-ligand and protein-protein complexes. Rich structural information that cannot be delivered by ECD can be generated by EID. EID allowed for the comparison of the gas-phase and the solution-phase structural stability and unfolding process of human carbonic anhydrase I (HCA-I). In addition, the EID fragmentation patterns reflect the structural similarities and differences among apo-, Zn-, and Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) dimers. In particular, the structural changes due to Cu-binding and a point mutation (G41D) were revealed by EID-MS. The performance of EID was also compared to that of 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), which allowed us to explore their qualitative similarities and differences as potential valuable tools for the MS study of native proteins and protein complexes.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight has been the de facto analyzer for solution and membrane-soluble protein native mass spectrometry (MS) studies; this however is gradually changing. Three MS instruments are compared, the Q-ToF, Orbitrap, and the FT-ICR, to analyze, under native instrument and buffer conditions, the seven-transmembrane helical protein bacteriorhodopsin-octylglucoside micelle and the empty nanodisc (MSP1D1-Nd) using both MS and tandem-MS modes of operation. Bacteriorhodopsin can be released from the octylglucoside-micelle efficiently on all three instruments (MS-mode), producing a narrow charge state distribution (z = 8+ to 10+) by either increasing the source lens or collision cell (or HCD) voltages. A lower center-of-mass collision energy (0.20-0.41 eV) is required for optimal bacteriorhodopsin liberation on the FT-ICR, in comparison to the Q-ToF and Orbitrap instruments (0.29-2.47 eV). The empty MSP1D1-Nd can be measured with relative ease on all three instruments, resulting in a highly complex spectrum of overlapping, polydisperse charge states. There is a measurable difference in MSP1D1-Nd charge state distribution (z = 15+ to 26+), average molecular weight (141.7 to 169.6 kDa), and phospholipid incorporation number (143 to 184) under low activation conditions. Utilizing tandem-MS, bacteriorhodopsin can be effectively liberated from the octylglucoside-micelle by collisional (Q-ToF and FT-ICR) or continuous IRMPD activation (FT-ICR). MSP1D1-Nd spectral complexity can also be significantly reduced by tandem-MS (Q-ToF and FT-ICR) followed by mild collisional or continuous IRMPD activation, resulting in a spectrum in which the charge state and phospholipid incorporation levels can easily be determined.

Abstract
With the convergence of breakthroughs in structural biology, specifically breaking the resolution barriers in cryo-electron microscopy and with continuing developments in crystallography, novel interfaces with other biophysical methods are emerging. Here we consider how mass spectrometry can inform these techniques by providing unambiguous definition of subunit stoichiometry. Moreover recent developments that increase mass spectral resolution enable molecular details to be ascribed to unassigned density within high-resolution maps of membrane and soluble protein complexes. Importantly we also show how developments in mass spectrometry can define optimal solution conditions to guide downstream structure determination, particularly of challenging biomolecules that refuse to crystallise.

Abstract
The advent of native mass spectrometry (MS) in 1990 led to the development of new mass spectrometry instrumentation and methodologies for the analysis of noncovalent protein-ligand complexes. Native MS has matured to become a fast, simple, highly sensitive and automatable technique with well-established utility for fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD). Native MS has the capability to directly detect weak ligand binding to proteins, to determine stoichiometry, relative or absolute binding affinities and specificities. Native MS can be used to delineate ligand-binding sites, to elucidate mechanisms of cooperativity and to study the thermodynamics of binding. This review highlights key attributes of native MS for FBDD campaigns.
