A convenient analytical system for protein-ligand interactions under crude conditions was developed using native mass spectrometry (MS). As a model protein, Escherichia coli (E. coli) dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) with and without a histidine tag was used for the study. First, overexpressed DHFR with a His-tag was roughly purified with a Ni-sepharose resin and subjected to native mass spectrometry with or without incubation with an inhibitor, Methotrexate (MTX). Even only with the minimum cleanup by the Ni-sepharose resin, intact ions of DHFR-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and DHFR-NADPH-ligand complexes were successfully observed. By optimizing the preparation procedures of the crude sample for native MS, e.g., avoiding sonication for cell lysis, we successfully observed intact ions of the specific DHFR-NADPH-MTX ternary complex starting with cultivation of E. coli in
