The characterization of the interactions of Zn2+ ions with imidazole ligands is vital for understanding the function of a plethora of zinc enzymes at the molecular level. The infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum of mass selected Zn2+(imid ...
The interaction between oxaliplatin and the model protein ubiquitin (Ub) was investigated in a top-down approach by means of high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) using diverse tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) techniques, incl ...
The three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins and peptides in vivo largely determine their biological functions. In vitro these native structures and their heterogeneity reflect a subtle balance between noncovalent intramolecular interactions and those ...
In recent years, spectroscopic investigations of cold, biomolecular ions have started to provide new, detailed information about the structures of biomolecules in the gas phase. The present work comprises three major parts that describe the development of ...
The physical chemistry of bio molecules in the gas phase is progressing at a rapid pace. One of the most promising areas is the determination of the conformations of biologically important molecules. Quantitative determination of their relative energies is ...
We employ Cold Ion Spectroscopy (CIS) in conjunction with high-Field Asymmetric Waveform Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS) to study the peptide bradykinin in its doubly protonated charge state ([bk+2H]2+). Using FAIMS we partially separate the electrospray ...
The decomposition pathway of the complex hydride Al3Li 4(BH4)13 is in the focus of this study. Initially the compound attracted great interest due to its high H2 capacity (17.2 wt.%) and desorption at moderate temperatures (<100 °C). This work sheds lig ...
The function of biologically active molecules depends both on their structure and on their conformational dynamics. In solution, intramolecular interaction with the solvent will influence different biological processes, i.e. protein folding. However second ...
We present in this work experiments that push the limits of cold ion spectroscopy to the study of complex peptides and small proteins in the gas phase. Although the low temperature attainable in a cold ion trap greatly simplifies the electronic spectra of ...
The conformations of a number of M2TMP-(22-46) sequence variants have been investigated using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). Substantial conformational changes were evidenced by IMS upon the variation of a single amino acid in the peptide sequence, with ...
