Mass spectrometry locates local and allosteric conformational changes that occur on cofactor binding

The decarboxylate enzyme Fdc1 requires a prenylated flavin mononucleotide co-factor for activity. Here, the authors use a variety of mass spectrometric techniques to observe the structural changes in this protein in response to co-factor binding.
