This approach resolves structures of the epoxide-based cysteine protease inhibitor, and natural product, E-64, and its biosynthetic analogs bound to the model cysteine protease, papain. The combined structural power of MicroED and the analytical capabilities of native mass spectrometry (ED-MS) allows assignment of papain structures bound to E-64-like ligands with data obtained from crystal slurries soaked with mixtures of known inhibitors, and crude biosynthetic reactions. ED-MS further discriminates the highest-affinity ligand soaked into microcrystals from a broad inhibitor cocktail, and identifies multiple similarly high-affinity ligands soaked into microcrystals simultaneously. This extends to libraries of printed ligands dispensed directly onto TEM grids and later soaked with papain microcrystal slurries. ED-MS identifies papain binding to its preferred natural products, by showing that two analogues of E-64 outcompete others in binding to papain crystals, and by detecting papain bound to E-64 and an analogue from crude biosynthetic reactions, without purification. This illustrates the utility of ED-MS for natural product ligand discovery and for structure-based screening of small molecule binders to macromolecular targets.
