“…Last year, a group of eminent researchers in the field formulated clear recommendations for performing and interpreting HDX-MS experiments [ 4 ] and hence paved the way towards truly standardized experiments. The applications of HDX-MS are very versatile: they include studies of protein complexes [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], ligand binding [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], dynamic properties like conformational changes and folding/unfolding/refolding [ 26 ], conformational changes that arise from allosteric effects [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], structure and stability of biopharmaceuticals [ 17 , 30 , 31 ] and epitopes [ 15 , 32 , 33 ], etc. Unlike several other biophysical techniques, HDX-MS possesses the advantages of no or very high size limit [ 8 ] and is useful for studying individual proteins as well as large complexes [ 34 , 35 ].…”
