Limited proteolysis combined with mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) facilitates probing structural changes on a proteome-wide scale in situ. Distinguishing the different signal contributions, such as changes in protein abundance, from protein abundance changes remains challenging. We propose a two-step approach, first removing unwanted variations from the LiP signal that are not caused by protein structural effects and subsequently inferring the effects of variables of interest on the remaining signal. Using LiP-MS data from three species we demonstrate that our framework provides a uniquely powerful approach for deconvolving LiP-MS signals and inferring protein structural changes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
