  • Beschreibung: AbstractChemical cross‐linking combined with a subsequent enzymatic digestion and mass spectrometric analysis of the created cross‐linked products presents an alternative approach to assess low‐resolution protein structures. By covalently connecting pairs of functional groups within a protein or a protein complex a set of structurally defined interactions is built up. We synthesized the heterobifunctional amine‐reactive photo‐cross‐linker N‐succinimidyl p‐benzoyldihydrocinnamate as a non‐deuterated (SBC) and doubly deuterated derivative (SBDC). Applying a 1:1 mixture of SBC and SBDC for cross‐linking experiments aided the identification of cross‐linked amino acids in the mass spectra based on the characteristic isotope patterns of fragment ions. The cross‐linker was applied to the calcium‐binding protein calmodulin with a subsequent analysis of cross‐linked products by nano‐high‐performance liquid chromatography matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (nano‐HPLC/MALDI‐TOF/TOF‐MS) and nano‐HPLC/nano‐electrospray ionization (ESI)‐LTQ‐Orbitrap‐MS.
