Ion Spectroscopy Reveals Structural Difference for Proteins Microhydrated by Retention and Condensation of Water

Protein ubiquitin in its +7 charge state microhydrated by 5 and 10 water molecules has been interrogated in the gas phase by cold ion UV/IR spectroscopy. The complexes were formed either by condensing water onto the unfolded bare proteins in a temperature- ...

Bridging Native and Intrinsic Structures of Microhydrated Biomolecules by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Andrei Zviagin

Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...

Standard-Free Quantification of Dicarboxylic Acids: Case Studies with Salt-Rich Effluents and Serum

Christian Ludwig, Daniil Salionov, Sasa Bjelic

The present study evaluates the ionization efficiency (IE) of linear and branched C2–C14 dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) by electrospray ionization (ESI) under different conditions. The influence of the concentration of organic modifier (MeOH); mobile phase addi ...

Identification of Isomeric Biomolecules by Infrared Spectroscopy of Solvent-Tagged Ions

Andrei Zviagin

The difference in functionality of many isomeric biomolecules requires their analytical identification for life science studies. We present a universal approach for quantitative identification of different small- to medium-sized isomeric biomolecules that ...

Combining Ion Mobility and Cryogenic Spectroscopy for Structural and Analytical Studies of Biomolecular Ions

Thomas Rizzo, Michael Zachary Kamrath

Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has become a valuable tool in biophysical and bioanalytical chemistry because of its ability to separate and characterize the structure of gas-phase biomolecular ions on the basis of their collisional cross section (CCS). It ...

UV and IR Spectroscopy of Cryogenically Cooled, Lanthanide-Containing Ions in the Gas Phase

Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We measure UV and IR spectra in the gas phase for EuOH+, EuCl+, and TbO+ ions, which are produced by an electrospray ionization source and cooled to similar to 10 K in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. The UV photodissociation (UVPD) spectra of these ions show a n ...

Spectroscopic studies of kinetically trapped conformations in the gas phase: the case of triply protonated bradykinin

Thomas Rizzo, Liudmila Voronina

Understanding the relation between the gas-phase structure of biological molecules and their solution-phase structure is important when attempting to use gas-phase techniques to address biologically relevant questions. Directly after electrospray ionizatio ...

UV and IR Spectroscopy of Cold H2O+-Benzo-Crown Ether Complexes

Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

The H2O+ radical ion, produced in an electrospray ion source via charge transfer from Eu3+, is encapsulated in benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) or benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6). We measure UV photodissociation (UVPD) spectra of the (H2O·B15C5)+ and (H2O·B18C6)+ complex ...

Laser Spectroscopic Study of Cold Host–Guest Complexes of Crown Ethers in the Gas Phase

Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

A laser spectroscopic study on the structure and dynamics of cold host–guest inclusion complexes of crown ethers (CEs) with various neutral and ionic species in the gas phase is presented. The complexes with neutral guest species are formed by using supers ...
