Gas-Phase Hydration Thermochemistry of Sodiated and Potassiated Nucleic Acid Bases
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydration reactions of sodiated and potassiated nucleic acid bases (uracil, thymine, cytosine, and adenine) produced by electrospray have been studied in a gas phase using the pulsed ion-beam high-pressure mass spectrometer. The thermochemical properties, ΔH(o)(n), ΔS(o)(n), and ΔG(o)(n), for the hydrated systems were obtained from hydration equilibrium measurement. The structural aspects of the hydrated complexes are discussed in conjunction with available literature data. The correlation between water binding energies in the hydrated complexes and the corresponding metal ion affinities of nucleobases suggests that a significant (if not dominant) amount of the canonical structure of cytosine undergoes tautomerization during electrospray ionization, and the thermochemical values for cationized cytosine probably correspond to a mixture of tautomeric complexes.

متن کاملEffect of metal ion and water coordination on the structure of a gas-phase amino acid.
The mode of metal ion and water binding to the amino acid valine is investigated using both theory and experiment. Computations indicate that without water, the structure of valine is nonzwitterionic. Both Li(+) and Na(+) are coordinated to the nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen (NO coordination), whereas K(+) coordinates to both oxygens (OO coordination) of nonzwitterionic valine. The addition of a ...
متن کاملThermochemistry of silicic acid deprotonation: Comparison of gas-phase and solvated DFT calculations to experiment
Theoretical approaches to the thermochemistry of silicate anions have so far focused on gas-phase molecular orbital and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These calculations predict that in the presence of hydroxide ligands the most stable singly charged anion of the silicic acid H4SiO4 is the five-coordinated anion H5SiO5 . However, experimental evidence from in situ nuclear magneti...
