  • Overview

    Ion mobility spectrometry - mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) offers great potential to structurally characterize biological macromolecules and their complexes, ranging from amyloid assemblies to viral capsids and allosteric control of protein function.

    Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) is a novel ion mobility method with unique capabilities for structural studies. One unique feature of TIMS is the ability to trap ions for extended periods of time. Further, TIMS has demonstrated unparalleled ion mobility separation power.

    This webinar will discuss the technical and theoretical foundation of TIMS, demonstrate the capabilities of TIMS in terms of its resolving power and ability to trap ions for extended periods of time, and illustrate its potential for structural biology studies in conjunction with novel computational methods.
