I wonder if anyone would care to share experiences/ideas/biases that
relate to the use of mass spectrometry to verify the identity of
protein constructs used for crystallization. Our experience with
different MS facilities has been checquered.

Specifically:

What's the current thinking on the best approach to get masses for
intact proteins of moderate size (say, 40 kD)? ESI-TOF?
What kind of resolution should one hope to obtain in such cases
(10E-04?)

Any suggestions as to good facilities offering fee for service MS
characterization are welcome (but should be shared off line, I think;
continental US only).

Thanks,

Pat
