چکیده
To properly understand the preferred structures and biological properties of proteins, it is important to understand how they are influenced by their immediate environment. Competitive intrapeptide, peptide...water, ion...water, and ion...peptide interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, play a key role in determining the structures, properties, and functionality of proteins. The primary types of hydrogen bonding involving proteins are intramolecular amide...amide (N-H...O=C) and intermolecular amide...water (O-H...O=C and H-O...H-N). n-Methylacetamide (NMA) is a convenient model for investigating these competitive interactions. An analysis of the IR photodissociation (IRPD) spectra of M+(n-methylacetamide)1(H2O)n=0-3 (M=Na and K) in the O-H and N-H spectral regions is presented. Ab initio calculations (MP2/cc-pVDZ) are used as a guide in identifying both the type and location of hydrogen bonds present. In larger clusters, where several structural isomers may be present in the molecular beam, ab initio calculations are also used to suggest assignments for the observed spectral features. The results presented offer insight to the nature of ion...NMA interactions in an aqueous environment and reveal how different ion...ligand pairwise interactions direct the extent of water...water and water...NMA hydrogen bonding observed.

We investigated the microscopic solvation of NaBO2 in water by conducting photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio studies on NaBO2 (H2O)n (n = 0–4) clusters. The vertical detachment energy (VDE) of NaBO2 is estimated to be 1.00 0.08 eV. The photoelectron spectra of NaBO2 (H2O)1 and NaBO2 (H2O)2 are similar to that of bare NaBO2 , except that their VDEs shift to higher electron binding energies...
