abstract = {Structural biology is witnessing a transformative era with
gas-phase techniques such as native mass spectrometry (MS),
ion mobility, and single-particle imaging (SPI) emerging as
critical tools for studying biomolecular assemblies like
protein capsids in their native states. SPI with X-ray
free-electron lasers has the potential to allow for
capturing atomic-resolution structures of proteins without
crystallization. However, determining particle orientation
during exposure remains a major challenge, compounded by the
heterogeneity of the protein complexes. Gas-phase Förster
resonance energy transfer (FRET) offers a promising solution
to assess alignment-induced structural perturbations,
providing insights into the stability of the tertiary
structure under various activation methods. This study
employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore
chromophore integration's effect on ubiquitin's structure
and alignment properties in vacuum. Ubiquitin serves as an
ideal model due to its small size, well-characterized
properties, and computational simplicity. By investigating
chromophore placement, we identified optimal sites for
monitoring gas-phase denaturation and unfolding processes,
advancing SPI applications and a broader understanding of
protein stability in the gas phase.},
