Dear AMS 2019 attendees,

This August, at the ACS Fall Meeting in San Diego, Jim Prell and Mike Marty will be hosting a multi-session symposium entitled “Mass Spectrometry of Biomolecular Assemblies,” which will feature some of the latest developments in ion mobility and mass spectrometry. We aim to have a broad spectrum of topics and speakers, so we encourage submissions from graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and industry professionals. Abstracts can be contributed at the ACS website, with a submission deadline of Monday, March 18th. We anticipate approximately 3 half-day sessions. There are several other sessions at the meeting that will be of interest to the MS community, including “Interface between experiments and modeling in unraveling the physical and chemical properties of charged droplets” and a symposium honoring Richard Zare.

Please join us in sunny San Diego! We’d love to see you there.

Confirmed speakers:

• Joe Loo – UCLA
• David Russell – Texas A&M University
• Renato Zenobi – ETH Zurich
• Ryan Julian – University of California Riverside
• Matt Bush – University of Washington Seattle
• Tara Pukala – University of Adelaide
• Lisa Jones – University of Maryland Baltimore
• Liangliang Sun – Michigan State University
• Christian Bleiholder – Florida State University
• Charlotte Uetrecht – Heinrich Pette Institute
• Jim Prell – University of Oregon
• Mike Marty – University of Arizona

Best wishes,
Jim Prell and Mike Marty

Native mass spectrometry is a growing area in the mass spectrometry community. Native MS is making significant contributions to structural biology. Because of its ease of application and broad applicability, native MS often leads and guides an integrated approach that eventually uses other structural biology tools. This pre-AMS workshop is sponsored by the NIH P41 “Native MS Guided Structural Biology”. The workshop is designed to introduce the broad field to new practitioners of native MS. Topics to be covered include sample preparation for native MS; instrumentation used for native MS – how does it differ from other MS; spray conditions to keep soluble complexes native; spray conditions for membrane protein complexes (micelles, liposomes, nanodiscs); activation methods for native MS (CID, CIU, SID, UVPD, ETD/ECD/EID); ion mobility for native MS; online separations approaches coupled to native MS (IEX, SEC, CE); software tools for native MS; case studies for protein:protein, protein ligand, RNA: protein, DNA:protein, and membrane protein complexes.
