Influence of Native-Like and Non-Native Solvent Conditions
Early ESI studies of proteins by Chait and others demonstrated that the charge state distributions were dramatically influenced by solvent conditions. We used the protein ubiquitin as a model system to follow the conformational changes upon ESI from mostly aqueous (90%) and mostly denaturing (90% acetonitrile) solutions.
