Protein Shape Changes Come Into Focus With LiP-MS and 3D Proteomics

This review explains how LiP-MS detects protein structural changes across whole proteomes, adding functional insight that standard abundance-based proteomics often misses. It also surveys method variants and shows how LiP-MS supports drug-target discovery, disease biomarker research, and the broader framework of “3D proteomics.”
