Many biological mechanisms rely on the precise control of conformational changes in proteins. Understanding such dynamic processes requires methods for determining structures and their temporal evolution. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to time-resolved ion mobility mass spectrometry. We validated the method on a simple photoreceptor model and applied it to a more complex system, the animal-like cryptochrome from
