Ultrasensitive, High-Throughput nanoHDX-MS for Insights into Protein Dynamics and Interactions

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange-mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful technique for studying protein dynamics, however its widespread application has been constrained by high sample consumption and lengthy analysis times. This webinar will introduce a novel, fully automated nano-flow HDX-MS (nHDX-MS) platform that overcomes these critical limitations, ushering in a new era of sensitivity and throughput in structural proteomics. By integrating nanoflow liquid chromatography with a fully automated sample preparation and data analysis workflow, our innovative approach achieves a remarkable >50-fold increase in sensitivity over traditional microflow methods. This technological leap enables the analysis of precious, low-abundance proteins and large complexes using only a few pmol of material per experiment, with the added benefit of same-day results. 

This presentation will delve into the key innovations of our nHDX-MS platform, a technology that delivers robust and reproducible data for a wide array of applications. We will showcase its power and versatility through several case studies—from interrogating protein-ligand interactions and performing high-throughput epitope mapping to characterizing large, dynamic protein complexes. These examples will highlight the significant impact of this technology on accelerating drug discovery and advancing our fundamental understanding of protein function.
