Curating the list (collecting nominations received Tfrom across the globe, working closely with our judging panel, and corresponding with all 100 nominees) has been a lengthy process – but also a privilege. Few fields are supported by a workforce that can lay claim to the level of dedication and passion that our community exudes. Whether speaking of fundamentals or applications, biology, the environment or beyond, it’s clear to see that immersion in this field is closely tied to a real belief in its purpose. And that’s likely why the field is so highly connected – and brimming with positivity. As Paul Bohn notes, we have “terrific colleagues all over the world,” and this translates not only into prime opportunities for enjoyable and fruitful collaboration, but also into a tightly knit network of support that helps propel each of us forward to tackle the problems ahead. To thrive, we must move with the times; as such, to quote Caroline West, analytical chemistry is “a dynamic science that changes rapidly.” The perpetual progress in our field is highlighted by advances in instrument miniaturization, usability and portability, and the application of artificial intelligence and automation. Increasingly, instrumentation is moving away from labs and into the real world. What’s more, the continuous streamlining of the analytical process means that these increasingly portable technologies are providing data that can be interpreted and used in record time. Of course, all of these endeavors feed into a single end

    ©Copyright 2015 Samuel Tabor Marionni Native Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: Characterizing Biological Assemblies and Modeling their Structures Samuel Tabor Marionni A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Matthew F. Bush, Chair Robert E. Synovec Dustin J. Maly James E. Bruce Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Chemistry University of Washington Abstract Native Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: Characterizing Biological Assemblies and Modeling their Structures Samuel Tabor Marionni Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Matthew F. Bush Department of Chemistry Native mass spectrometry (MS) is an increasingly important structural biology technique for characterizing protein complexes. Conventional structural techniques such as X-ray crys- tallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can produce very high- resolution structures, however large quantities of protein are needed, heterogeneity com- plicates structural elucidation, and higher-order complexes of biomolecules are difficult to characterize with these techniques. Native MS is rapid and requires very small amounts of sample. Though the data is not as high-resolution, information about stoichiometry, subunit topology, and ligand-binding, is readily obtained, making native MS very complementary to these techniques. When coupled with ion mobility, geometric information in the form of a collision cross section (Ω) can be obtained as well. Integrative modeling approaches are emerging that integrate gas-phase techniques — such as native MS, ion mobility, chemical cross-linking, and other forms of protein MS — with conventional solution-phase techniques and computational modeling. While conducting the research discussed in this dissertation, I used native MS to investigate two biological systems: a mammalian circadian clock protein complex and a series of engineered fusion proteins.

  • 2Nd ANNUAL NORTH AMERICAN MASS SPECTROMETRY SUMMER SCHOOL
    2nd ANNUAL NORTH AMERICAN MASS SPECTROMETRY SUMMER SCHOOL JULY 21-24, 2019 | MADISON, WISCONSIN Parabola of Neon (1913) Featured on the cover is an early 20th century parabola mass spectrograph. The early mass spectrometers, pioneered by J. J. Thomson, used electric and magnetic fields to disperse ion populations on photographic plates. Depending on their masses, the ions were dispersed along parabolic lines with those of the highest energy landing in the center and those with the least extending to the outermost edges. Positive ions are imaged on the upper half of the parabola while negative ions are deflected to the bottom half. Note that Ne produces two lines in the spectrum. Francis Aston, a former Thomson student, concluded from these data that stable elements also must have isotopes. These observations won Aston the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1922. Grayson, M.A. Measuring Mass: From Positive Rays to Proteins. 2002. Chemical Heritage Press, Philadelphia. Welcome to the 2nd Annual North American Mass Spectrometry Summer School We are proud to assemble world-leading experts in mass spectrometry for this second annual mass spectrometry summer school. We aim for you to experience an engaging and inspiring program covering the fundamentals of mass spectrometry and how to apply this tool to study biology. Also infused in the course are several workshops aimed to promote professional development. We encourage you to actively engage in discussion during all lectures, workshops, and events. This summer school is made possible through generous funding from the National Science Foundation (Plant Genome Research Program, Grant No. 1546742), the National Institutes of Health National Center for Quantitative Biology of Complex Systems (P41 GM108538), and the Morgridge Institute for Research.

Falkner 2008 I dedicate this to my parents and family for supporting me in pursuit of over-education to the fullest. Thankfully I've learned that academics, science, and the pursuit of intellect are of little to benefit an individual. Friends, family, and society give purpose to both work and life.

Pretty much every part of this thesis was inspired in one way or another by Phil, and I feel very fortunate to have had a mentor that wanted include me in most everything. Even sending me around the world for countless conferences, workshops, and meetings. I think that all mentors work in mysterious and unmeasurable ways, and I have been unbelievably lucky to have such a good mentor and friend.
