Randomized trial investigates physicochemical properties of the myoglobin/heme complex, suggesting implications for protein stabilization.

This study aims to evaluate how environmental factors influence the dynamics and stability of the myoglobin/heme complex.
Examined effects of temperature (4 °C, 21 °C, 37 °C), buffers (AmAc, TEAA), and solvents (H2O, D2O) on myoglobin/heme complex.
Utilized limited proteolysis and ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) to analyze peptide abundance and structural changes.
Analyzed the impact of D2O and buffer components on the complex's stability and physicochemical properties.
Higher temperatures and absence of buffers increase peptide abundances in proteolysis results.
D2O demonstrated consistent peptide abundances across temperatures, stabilizing proteins and acting as a kinetic trap.
AmAc impacted tertiary structure while TEAA preserved secondary structure of the myoglobin/heme complex.
