Funding:
  • School of Pharmacy Dean’s Office
  • Mass Spectrometry Center Equipment Budget
  • Department of Medicinal Chemistry Chair’s Office
Predominant Uses:
  • Data dependent LC/MS/MS analysis
  • Metabolomic profiling and bio-marker discovery/validation
  • Increased specificity and sample definition by the combining of high-efficiency ion mobility separations (IMS) with quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry, enabling the differentiation of analytes in complex matrices by size, shape and charge, accurate mass measurement, and fragment analysis Epitope mapping
  • Protein-drug binding
  • Protein-protein interactions
  • Aggregation
  • Effects of mutation on protein conformation and dynamics
  • Localization of conformational changes as a result of formulations and stability testing
