Optimization of mouse GIRK2 for native mass spectrometry studies. a Initial preparation of GIRK2 in dodecylmaltoside (DDM) following established protocols for structural studies25. The mass spectrum was recorded using maximum energy settings to reveal 1350 Da adducts bound to GIRK2. b Mass spectrum of GIRK2 in DDM after DHPC treatment, which reveals a well-resolved mass spectrum with the lipid adducts removed. DHPC treated GIRK2 in the charge-reducing detergent, C10E5 acquired under minimal energy regimes on a c Waters Synapt G1 and d Thermo Exactive plus EMR modified with a rear-entry source49. The mass spectra resolves small molecule adducts bound to the tetrameric complex
