Collaboration and Service Projects

Collaboration and Service Projects (CSPs) can show investigators how existing native MS SID-IM technologies can begin to answer their more straightforward structural questions. CSPs may include the following types of services: Protein, DNA, or RNA accurate mass; Protein-ligand interactions (including RNA, DNA, lipids); Protein-protein interactions (soluble and membrane); Protein conformational studies with ion mobility; Topology/connectivity information using surface-induced dissociation. Some native mass spectrometry services are now being offered at select core facilities.
