Characterization of Conformational Ensembles of Protonated N-glycans in the Gas-Phase

Abstract Ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is a technique capable of investigating structural changes of biomolecules based on their collision cross section (CCS). Recent advances in IM-MS allow us to separate carbohydrate isomers with subtle conformational differences, but the relationship bet...
