Cold Ion Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules in the Gas Phase

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 ...
