An electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) method for quantifying protein-ligand complexes that cannot be directly detected by ESI-MS is described. The proxy protein ESI-MS method combines direct ESI-MS binding measurements with competitive protein-ligand binding. To implement the method, a proxy protein (P-proxy), which interacts specifically with the ligand of interest with known affinity and can be detected directly by ESI-MS, is used to quantitatively monitor the extent of ligand binding to the protein of interest. A mathematical framework for establishing the association constant (K-a) for protein-ligand binding by the proxy protein ESI-MS method, implemented with a P-proxy containing a single ligand binding site, is given. A modified form of the proxy protein ESI-MS method, which accounts for real-time changes in ligand concentration, is also described. The reliability of these methods is demonstrated for the interactions between the 180 kDa wildtype homotrimeric tailspike protein of the bacteriophage P22 and its endorhamnosidase point mutant (D392N) with its ligands comprising two and three O-antigen repeats from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium: octasaccharide ([alpha-Gal-(1 -> 2)-[alpha-Abe-(1 -> 3)]-alpha-Man-(1 -> 4)-alpha-Rha](2)) and dodecasaccharide ([alpha-Gal-(1 -> 2)-[alpha-Abe-(1 -> 3)]-alpha-Man-(1 -> 4)-alpha-Rha](3)). A 27 kDa single chain antibody, which binds to both ligands, served as P-proxy. The results of binding measurements performed at 10 and 25 degrees C are in excellent agreement with K-a values measured previously using a fluorescence quenching assay.
