Abstract:
Mass spectrometry plays a central role in structural proteomics, particularly in highly intensive structural genomics projects. This review paper reports some examples taken from recent work from the authors' laboratory and is aimed at showing that modern proteomics strategies are instrumental in the integration of structural genomic projects in fields such as: (i) protein–protein interactions, (ii) protein-DNA interactions, (iii) protein–ligand interactions, and (iv) protein-folding intermediates.
