(In English) Mass spectrometry (MS) techniques are routinely used to probe the structure and dynamics of proteins and protein complexes. Although MS techniques lack the high resolution of data provided by X-ray crystallography, NMR, or cryo-EM, they excel in providing insights into analyte dynamics, structure, and interactions with other components, such as ligands. This doctoral thesis presents a contribution to the field of structural biology employing and extending covalent labelling approaches, namely Fast Photochemical oxidation of Proteins (FPOP) and oxidation by singlet oxygen (1 O2). These approaches were followed to study the structure, dynamics, and interaction of proteins, nucleic acids, and protein-DNA complexes in solution. Initially, FPOP was used to investigate the interaction interface of FOXO4 and DAF16-DNA response element and to show the possibilities of analyzing such a complex using both 'bottom- up' and 'top-down' approaches. Furthermore, an isotope depletion strategy combined with multiCASI-ECD proved effective in delivering structural information with the highest possible resolution for mapping protein-DNA interfaces. This research showcases how information derived from structural proteomic methods can guide the construction of in-silico models for protein-DNA complexes with...
