Optimized fragmentation schemes and data analysis strategies for proteome-wide cross-link identification

Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) can provide information on protein conformations and interactions in highly complex samples. Here the authors describe an improved XL-MS workflow to increase the depth and fidelity of cross-link identification using whole proteome databa...

Description
Summary:Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) can provide information on protein conformations and interactions in highly complex samples. Here the authors describe an improved XL-MS workflow to increase the depth and fidelity of cross-link identification using whole proteome databases.
