چکیده
Ion-molecule reactions between molecular oxygen and peptide radicals in the gas phase demonstrate that radical migration occurs easily within large biomolecules without addition of collisional activation energy.

Structure and reactivity of the N-acetyl-cysteine radical cation and anion: does radical migration occur?
The structure and reactivity of the N-acetyl-cysteine radical cation and anion were studied using ion-molecule reactions, infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The radical cation was generated by first nitrosylating the thiol of N-acetyl-cysteine followed by the homolytic cleavage of the S-NO bond in the gas phase. IRMPD spect...
متن کاملRadical Generation from the Gas-Phase Activation of Ionized Lipid Ozonides
Reaction products from the ozonolysis of unsaturated lipids at gas-liquid interfaces have the potential to significantly influence the chemical and physical properties of organic aerosols in the atmosphere. In this study, the gas-phase dissociation behavior of lipid secondary ozonides is investigated using ion-trap mass spectrometry. Secondary ozonides were formed by reaction between a thin fil...
متن کاملIon-molecule reactions as probes of gas-phase structures of peptides and proteins.
A review with over 100 references describes the recent applications of ion-molecule reactions to the study of gas-phase protonated peptides and proteins. The topic is focused specifically on the proton transfer and hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. A brief background is given of the various methods used for assigning proton affinities and gas-phase ba...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Electron Transfer Dissociation of Peptide Anions
Ion/ion reactions of multiply deprotonated peptide anions with xenon radical cations result in electron abstraction to generate charge-reduced peptide anions containing a free-radical site. Peptide backbone cleavage then occurs by hydrogen radical abstraction from a backbone amide N to facilitate cleavage of the adjacent COC bond, thereby producing aand x-type product ions. Introduction of free...
متن کاملStructure and reactivity of homocysteine radical cation in the gas phase studied by ion-molecule reactions and infrared multiple photon dissociation.
The reactivity of the cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) radical cation was studied using ion-molecule reactions. The radical cations were generated via collision-induced dissociation (CID) of their S-nitrosylated precursors. Cleavage of the S-NO bond led to the formation of the radical initially positioned on the sulfur atom. The reactions of the radical cations with dimethyl disulfide reve...
