Abstract
As previously demonstrated by the technique of gas-phase electrophoretic mobility molecular analyzer (GEMMA) introduced by Kaufman and colleagues, differential mobility analysis (DMA) of charge-reduced electrospray ions in the gas phase is a useful complement to MS for studying large proteins and their weakly bound complexes. Several limitations of GEMMA, the solutions for which have the potential to greatly improve its performance, are discussed here, including DMA resolution and transmission. A quantitative theory of charge reduction kinetics for dried multiply charged globular proteins at atmospheric pressures is also presented, showing that the charge reduction time must be carefully chosen to maximize a singly charged ion signal, while avoiding survival of contaminating multiply charged species. Because charge reduction limits the range of masses analyzable by MS, we also consider the potential of a parallel-plate DMA coupled in series to an MS for DMA-MS studies without charge reduction.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
