Detection of the site of bound water interaction by temperature-dependent XF-MS. The colored surfaces on the X-ray crystal structures of cyt c (PDB 1HRC) (a) and ubiquitin (PDB 1UBQ) (b) indicate the side-chain residues that are consistently modified at room temperature and/or frozen conditions. Blue indicates the residues that show a 13- to 200-fold decrease in modification upon freezing; violet indicates a 3- to 10-fold decrease; and red indicates minimal to no change (<2-fold) in the modification rate when the sample is frozen as compared with room temperature. In cyt c the residue Y67, which also showed minimal to no change, is completely buried inside the heme cavity and not visible in these orientations. Reproduced from Gupta et al. (2012). |
