Surfactant effects on protein structure examined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
Open accessAbstract
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) has proven to be a useful tool for examining noncovalent complexes between proteins and a variety of ligands. It has also been used to distinguish between denatured and refolded forms of proteins. Surfactants are frequently employed to enhance solubilization or to modify the tertiary or quaternary structure of proteins, but are usually considered incompatible with mass spectrometry. A broad range of ionic, nonionic, and zwitterionic surfactants was examined to characterize their effects on ESI‐MS and on protein structure under ESI‐MS conditions. Solution conditions studied include 4% acetic acid/50% acetonitrile/46% H 2 O and 100% aqueous. Of the surfactants examined, the nonionic saccharides, such as n‐dodecyl‐β‐D‐gluco‐pyranoside, at 0.1% to 0.01% (w/v) concentrations, performed best, with limited interference from chemical background and adduct formation. Under the experimental conditions used, ESI‐MS performance in the presence of surfactants was found to be unrelated to critical micelle concentration. It is demonstrated that surfactants can affect both the tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins under conditions used for ESI‐MS. However, several of the surfactants caused significant shifts in the charge‐state distributions, which appeared to be independent of conformational effects. These observations suggest that surfactants, used in conjunction with ESI‐MS, can be useful for protein structure studies, if care is used in the interpretation of the results.

Most salts and conventional surfactants are incompatible with MS and must be removed before downstream analysis.
“However, most salts and conventional surfactants are generally incompatible with MS analysis and must be removed before downstream analysis [22].”
From Top-down proteomics: challenges, innovations, and applications in basic and clinical research (2020) · cites this paper as [22]
Precipitation is often required with surfactants because surfactants inhibit MS signal by outcompeting proteins or forming harmful adducts.
“In particular, precipitation is often required when using surfactants, which are often employed during cell lysis to solubilize hydrophobic membrane proteins, because they significantly inhibit MS signal by outcompeting proteins for ionization or by forming harmful adducts [24,25].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
