Abstract

The conformational differences between Ca 2+-ATP--actin and Mg 2+-ATP-G-actin probed by hydroxyl radicals and mass spectrometry (MS) were analyzed. Hydroxyl radicals generated by synchrotron x-rays probed the solvent accessibilities of discrete residues of a protein by forming a covalent adduct with a side chain. The solvent accessibilities were measured in terms of modification rates quantitated by MS, and the modified sites were identified by MS/MS. The conformational change of the protein was found to be correlated with the solvent accessibility variation of residues.
