Phosphorylation of TSC2 by PKC-δ reveals a novel signaling pathway that couples protein synthesis to mTORC1 activity
Downstream of insulin-like growth factor receptor, the TSC1/2/ TCB1D7 (tuberous sclerosis complex) and mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) pathways are implicated in many human diseases, including cancer an...

The gramicidin dimer shows both EX1 and EX2 mechanisms of H/D exchange
We describe the use of H/D amide exchange and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to study, in organic solvents, the pentadecapeptide gramicidin as a model for protein self association. In methanol-OD, a...

Application of SIMSTEX to oligomerization of insulin analogs and mutants
The propensity of various insulins and their analogs to oligomerize was investigated by mass spectrometric methods including measurement of the relative abundances of oligomers in the gas phase and the kinetic...

Determination of affinity constants and response factors of the noncovalent dimer of gramicidin by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and mathematical modeling
The dimerization of gramicidin, a 15-residue membrane peptide, in solution can be viewed as a model for protein-protein interactions. We reported previously that the dimer can be observed when electrosprayed f...
