  • Patent number: 10697977
    Abstract: Provided herein is synthesis of a novel acidic acid residue targeting sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable homobifunctional cross-linker. The novel mass spectrometry-cleavable cross-linking agents can be used in mass spectrometry to facilitate structural analysis of intra-protein interactions in proteins and inter-protein interactions in protein complexes. Also disclosed herein are data based on the novel MS-cleavable homobifunctional cross-linker that are complimentary to amine-reactive sulfoxide-containing MS-cleavable reagents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2020
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Lan Huang, Scott D. Rychnovsky, Clinton Yu, Eric James Novitsky, Craig Bryant Gutierrez
