Global Profiling of Lysine Accessibility to Evaluate Protein Structure Changes in Alzheimer’s Disease

The linear sequence of amino acids in a protein folds into a 3D structure to execute protein activity and function, but it is still challenging to profile the 3D structure at the proteome scale. Here, we present a method of native protein tandem mass tag (TMT) profiling of Lys accessibility and its application to investigate structural alterations in human brain specimens of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
