Mass spectra were recorded by a Thermo Orbitrap Elite (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Waltham, MA). The instrument settings were as follows: spray voltage, 3.7 kV; sheath gas flow rate, 25 (arbitrary units); and capillary temperature, 275 °C. MS spectra were acquired with 60000 resolution, which has been shown to yield accurate measurements of hydrogen and deuterium composition.64 From mass spectra obtained during HDX-MS experiments, the centroid of each deuterated peptide envelope and the relative deuterium uptake by each peptide were calculated by HDX Workbench.65 (link)
