Maddie, Stewart, and Dr. Gallagher go to AMS 2025!

The Advancing Mass Spectrometry for Biophysics and Structural Biology Conference was held at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia this year and a few of our lab members got the opportunity to present their ongoing work! Maddie and Stewart were able to present their research focusing on how protein size affects non-specific binding and how denatured proteins are sprayed during the electrospray process using molecular dynamics, respectively. Dr. Gallagher presented some work focusing on Native-protein charging and structures using modeling techniques. Below are the titles of their posters and talk, as well as some photos from the conference!

Maddie Bannon: “Nonspecific Carbohydrate Adduction Increases with Increasing Collisional Cross-Section of Globular Proteins during Native-ESI MS” (Monday Poster 19)
Stewart Ryberg: “Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Denatured Proteins in Electrosprayed Droplets with H3O+ and Dynamic Protonation” (Monday Poster 47)
Elyssia Gallagher: “Comparing Native-protein Charging and Structures Associated with Different Modeling Techniques” (Wednesday Hot Topic Talk 7)

Our lab had an amazing time learning more about the new methods and applications of MS and how they are able to be used to determine structural biology and biophysics of biomolecules. We can’t wait for the next one in two years!
