Gas Phase Biomolecules: Structural Motifs Revealed by Ionization-Loss Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, much effort has been devoted to the measurement and modelling of the threedimensional structure and the folding abilities of biologically-relevant molecules, including neurotransmitters [1] and building blocks of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) [2]. Previous studies have shown that one can differentiate between the conformers of the same molecule by combing quantum computations with novel laser spectroscopies, employing double resonance or hole-burning techniques, which allow monitoring of electronic and vibrational spectra. The latter were obtained using infrared (IR) sources, using the method of infrared ion dip spectroscopy (IR-IDS) [3] in limited ranges (mainly covering hydride stretch vibrations).

Structural motifs of 2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-ethylamine conformers.
Vibronic and vibrational spectra of 2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-ethylamine (2-FPEA) conformers were measured in a molecular beam by resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI), ultraviolet-ultraviolet hole burning (UV-UV HB) spectroscopy, and ionization-loss stimulated Raman spectroscopy (ILSRS). The measured ILSR spectral signatures in the survey spectra of the amino group region and in the broad spectral r...
متن کاملStructural Investigation, Proton and Electron Affinities, Gas Phase Basicities, and Ionization Energies of Captopril
Captopril is one of the most significant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In spite of numerous experimental and computational studies on its properties, not enough geometrical and thermodynamic data is available on this compound. So, this study aimed to investigate the structural properties and assignment of possible conformers of captopril in the gas-phase. To this end, 1152 unique tr...

Ni ferrite crystalline material is synthesized using a sol-gel method at two different temperatures. The vibrational and stretching modes, crystalline phase, size distribution and morphology of the products are investigated via Raman back-scattering and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. Vibrational modes of spinel ferrite are observed at Raman and FTIR...
متن کاملSynthesis of Serrated GaN Nanowires for Hydrogen Gas Sensors Applications by Plasma-Assisted Vapor Phase Deposition Method
Nowadays, the semiconductor nanowires (NWs) typically used in hydrogen gas sensors. Gallium nitride (GaN) with a wide band gap of 3.4 eV, is one of the best semiconductors for this function. NWs surface roughness have important role in gas sensors performance. In this research, GaN NWs have been synthesized on Si substrate by plasma-assisted vapor phase deposition at different deposition time, ...
متن کاملTheory of Gas Ionization by Intense Electromagnetic Fields
The distribution function of the electrons produced in the interaction between an intense electromagnetic wave and a neutral gas is derived and is shown to be nonequilibrium and anisotropic. By assuming that the time scale of gas ionization is much greater than the field period, it is shown that the electron distribution function formed in microwave and optical discharges has sharp anisotropy a...
