Popis: Gas-phase protein separation by ion mobility: With its ability to separate the Parkinson's disease protein Alpha-synuclein and its autoproteolytic products—despite the small concentrations of the latter—ion-mobility MS has enabled the characterization of intermediate fragments in in vitro oligomerization-aggregation. In particular, a possible key fragment, the highly aggregating C-terminal fragment, AlphaSyn(72–140), has been revealed.
