Chiral inversion of amino acids is thought to modulate the structure and function of amyloid beta (Aβ) but these processes are poorly understood. Here, the authors develop an ion mobility-mass spectrometry based approach to study chirality-regulated structural features of Aβ fragments and their influence on receptor recognition.

Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics aim to identify and quantify proteins from complex biological samples. Here, the authors developed a method for simultaneous high-throughput protein labelling and on-demand matrix removal within nanoseconds.

Tetrathiomolybdate (TM) and Cu-ATPases, e.g. Wilson (WLN) protein, affect the efficacy of common anticancer drug cisplatin. Here, the authors show that TM generates a protein dimer with a WLN domain by expelling copper and provide insight into the synergy of TM and cisplatin in cancer chemotherapy.
