Membrane proteins play critical roles but have been challenging for structural biology. In this issue of Chem, Olerinyova et al. apply an emerging technology, mass photometry, to characterize membrane proteins in different solubilization vehicles. Mass photometry streamlines characterization of membrane proteins in different membrane mimetics, enabling rapid analysis of homogeneity.

质谱法照亮单个膜蛋白复合物

膜蛋白起着至关重要的作用，但对结构生物学而言却具有挑战性。在《化学》杂志上，Olerinyova等人。应用一种新兴技术，即质谱法，来表征不同增溶载体中的膜蛋白。质谱分析简化了不同膜模拟物中膜蛋白的表征，从而可以快速分析同质性。
