High-resolution techniques to determine the three-dimensional atomic coordinates of proteins are available. However, such methods are frequently limited by experimental challenges such as sample quantity, target size, and efficiency. Structural mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique in which structural features of proteins are elucidated quickly and relatively easily. Computational techniques that convert sparse MS data into protein models that demonstrate agreement with the data are needed. This review features cutting-edge computational methods that predict protein structure from MS data such as chemical cross-linking, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, hydroxyl radical protein footprinting, limited proteolysis, ion mobility, and surface-induced dissociation. Additionally, we address future directions for protein structure prediction with sparse MS data.

The expanded laser further traps them at the edge of the assembly, producing a single assembly much larger than the focus along the surface. Amino acids and inorganic ionic compounds undergo crystallization and crystal growth, polystyrene NPs form periodic arrays and disklike structures with concentric circles or hexagonal packing, and Au NPs demonstrate assembling and swarming, in which the NPs fluctuate like a group of bees. These phenomena that depend on laser polarization are called optically evolved assembling at solution surfaces, and their dynamics and mechanisms are elucidated in this review.

Furthermore, adding a correlation functional to a multiconfigurational reference energy can lead to double counting of electron correlation. Multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) overcomes both obstacles, the second by calculating the quantum mechanical part of the electronic energy entirely by a functional, and the first by using a functional of the total density and the on-top pair density rather than the spin densities. This allows one to calculate the energy of strongly correlated systems efficiently with a pair-density functional and a suitable multiconfigurational reference function.
