Institute of Biotechnology, HiLIFE, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. Electronic address:

Structural proteomics has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the convergence of advanced experimental methodologies and computational innovations. Cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, including cross-linking MS (XL-MS), hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDX-MS), and limited proteolysis MS (LiP-MS), now enable unprecedented insights into protein topology, conformational dynamics, and protein-protein interactions. These methods, complemented by affinity purification (AP), co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), proximity labeling (PL), and spatial proteomics techniques, have expanded our ability to characterize the structural proteome at a systems-wide scale.
