Research summary
AI-generated

Ian Webb develops mass spectrometry methods for studying the three-dimensional structure of proteins. This work uses techniques such as chemical cross-linking, covalent labeling, and ion mobility to map how proteins fold, change shape, and are modified, with a particular focus on proteins like alpha-synuclein and cytochrome c. The research contributes analytical tools used in structural biology and structural proteomics.
