Ion mobility mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations unravel the conformational stability of zinc metallothionein-2 species.

ABSTRACT: Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) unraveled different conformational stability in Zn_4-7-metallothionein-2. We introduced a new molecular dynamics simulation approach that permitted the exploration of all of the conformational space confirming the experimental data, and revealed that not only the Zn-S bonds but also the α-β domain interactions modulate protein unfolding.
