“Soft” ionization: EESI deposits charges on native proteins, which are separated from any high electric field. In this way native proteins can be characterized by mass spectrometry even from raw biological samples without significant conformational changes or reduction in activity. EESI-MS is a sensitive tool for the high-throughput analysis of trace levels of proteins under the native conditions.
