M. Hamdan et al., ELECTROSPRAY MASS-SPECTROMETRY - COMPLEXATION BETWEEN 1-ANILINONAPHTHALENE-8-SULFONATE AND PROTEINS, Journal of mass spectrometry., 31(11), 1996, pp. 1261-1264
Complexation of the hydrophobic fluorescent dye 1-anilinonaphthalene-8
-sulphonate with a number of proteins was examined by electrospray ion
ization mass spectrometry (ESMS). The apparent agreement between the p
resent data and those obtained by fluorescence spectroscopy underlines
the role of ESMS in the overall approach to protein folding and unfol
ding.
