The application of the reporter molecule (Mrep) method for identifying nonspecific complexes in the ES-MS analysis of protein-ligand and DNA-ligand interactions in vitro is described. To test the reliability of the method, it was applied to the ES-MS analysis of protein-carbohydrate complexes...

An investigation of the nonspecific association of small charged biomolecules and proteins in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ES-MS) is described. Aqueous solutions containing pairs of proteins and a small acidic or basic biomolecule that does not interact specifically with either of...

Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis combined with the use of nanodiscs (NDs) to solubilize glycolipids (GLs) has recently emerged as a promising analytical method for detecting protein–GL interactions in vitro and, when applied to libraries of GLs, ranking their...

A new electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ES-MS) approach for quantifying protein—ligand complexes that are prone to in-source (gas-phase) dissociation is described. The method, referred to here as the reference ligand ES-MS method, is based on the direct ES-MS assay and competitive ligand...

Tubulin, which is the building block of microtubules, plays an important role in cell division. This critical role makes tubulin an attractive target for the development of chemotherapeutic drugs to treat cancer. Currently, there is no general binding assay for tubulin–drug interactions. The...
