This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. With the advent of high mass accuracy/resolution mass analyzers suitable for the analysis of covalently modified peptides and proteins, chemical crosslinking has blossomed as a technique for mapping interacting domains and providing low resolution structures of protein complexes. The goal of this project is to extend the utility and scale of chemical crosslinking, which has generally been limited to the study of simple, binary protein interactions, to larger ensembles of cellular machinery. The largest barrier to applying structural crosslinking on this scale is the miniscule yield of intramolecular crosslinking resulting from reactions with traditional activated ester type crosslinking reagents. Reagents of this type are subject to hydrolysis, and as a result unmodified and "dead-end" modified peptides tend to predominate the reaction products of crosslinking reactions. This project encompasses: 1) the design and synthesis of new crosslinking reagents, 2) the development of methodology to enrich specifically crosslinked peptides and 3) the development of bioinformatic tools to assist in identifying crosslinked MS/MS spectra resulting from a large pool of interacting proteins.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 随着适用于共价修饰的肽和蛋白质的分析的高质量准确度/分辨率质量分析仪的出现，化学交联作为用于映射相互作用结构域和提供蛋白质复合物的低分辨率结构的技术已经蓬勃发展。 该项目的目标是将化学交联的实用性和规模扩展到更大的细胞机器集合，化学交联通常仅限于简单的二元蛋白质相互作用的研究。 在这种规模上应用结构交联的最大障碍是由与传统活化酯型交联试剂的反应产生的分子内交联的极小产率。 这种类型的试剂经受水解，并且因此未修饰的和“死端”修饰的肽倾向于在交联反应的反应产物中占主导地位。 该项目包括：1）新交联试剂的设计和合成，2）富集特异性交联肽的方法学的开发，以及3）生物信息学工具的开发，以帮助识别由大量相互作用蛋白质产生的交联MS/MS谱。
