Native Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry of Structured DNA Oligonucleotides

Although solution hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX/MS) is well-established for the analysis of the structure and dynamics of proteins, it is currently not exploited for nucleic acids. Here we used DNA G-quadruplex structures as model systems to demonstrate that DNA oligonucleotides are amenable to in-solution HDX/MS in native conditions. In... Show more
