Abstract

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled to mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a well-established technique for structural analysis of proteins. In HDX experiments it is common to label for multiple, different lengths of time to characterize protein structures and dynamics. However, applications of HDX to carbohydrates have been limited due to the rapid exchange rates of hydroxyls, which have also prevented the development and application of methods that sample HDX at multiple timepoints. Theta capillaries pulled to electrospray tips have been used to achieve microsecond reaction times. Here, we report the utilization of theta-ESI emitters to achieve multiple timepoints for deuteration of carbohydrates. We increased the labeling time for HDX by increasing the initial ESI droplet sizes using theta-ESI emitters with increasing tip opening sizes. The reaction times achieved by varying the tip sizes ranged from sub-microsecond to ∼20 μs, with the average number of deuterium exchanges varying from 0.5 ± 0.2 D to 5 ± 3 D for sodium-adducted melezitose, which contains 11 labile hydrogens. Our findings are significant because this is the first report of carbohydrates analyzed by solution-phase HDX to achieve multiple H/D exchange timepoints.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
