Identification of Isomeric Biomolecules by Infrared Spectroscopy of Solvent-Tagged Ions

Oleg Boyarkine, Andrei Zviagin

The difference in functionality of many isomeric biomolecules requires their analytical identification for life science studies. We present a universal approach for quantitative identification of different small- to medium-sized isomeric biomolecules that ...

Effects of N-terminus substitution on the structure and spectroscopy of gas-phase helices

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine

Because of the importance of helices in the secondary structure of proteins, we have undertaken a study of their spectroscopy, fragmentation patterns and conformations in the gas phase. In this work, we describe the effects of substitution at the N-terminu ...

Nonstatistical UV Fragmentation of Gas-Phase Peptides Reveals Conformers and Their Structural Features

Oleg Boyarkine, Vladimir Kopysov

Solving the 3D structure of a biomolecule requires recognition of its conformers and measurements of their individual structural identities, which can be compared with calculations. We employ the phenomenon of nonstatistical photofragmentation, detected by ...

Salt Bridge Structure of Microhydrated Arginine Kinetically Trapped in the Gas Phase by Evaporative Cooling

Oleg Boyarkine, Andrei Zviagin

Aminoacids and peptides generally exhibit zwitterionic forms withsalt bridge (SB) structures in solution but charge-solvated (CS) motifsin the gas phase. Here, we report a study of non-covalent complexesof the protonated amino acid arginine, ArgH(+)(H2O)( ...

UV Spectroscopic Studies of Cold Alkali Metal Ion–Crown Ether Complexes in the Gas Phase

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We report UV photodissociation (UVPD) spectra of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) complexes with alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+) in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. All the complexes show a number of vibronically resolved bands, but the vibronic structu ...

A global line list for HDO between 0 and 35000 cm−1 constructed using multiphoton spectra

Oleg Boyarkine

Multiphoton spectroscopy of monodeuterated water is employed to determine more than 210 new energy levels of HDO in the 25 000–35 000 cm region. These new empirical energy levels are used to fit a potential energy surface (PES) valid between 20 000 cm and ...

A direct measurement of the dissociation energy of water

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine, Pavlo Maksyutenko

We have performed a direct measurement of one of the most fundamental thermochemical values: the O-H bond energy in water. Using a triple-resonance laser excitation scheme, we excite the molecule through a series of vibrational overtone transitions to acce ...

Identification of Isomeric Metabolites Using Cold Ion Spectroscopy Add-on to Orbitrap-Based Mass Spectrometer

Oleg Boyarkine, Vladimir Kopysov, Andrei Zviagin

The identification of chemical structures of metabolites available in trace-level quantities remains a challenging task in analytical chemistry. Although cold ion spectroscopy (CIS) has considerable potential to assist in such identification, the widesprea ...

Identification of Isomeric Ephedrines by Cold Ion UV Spectroscopy: Toward Practical Implementation

Oleg Boyarkine, Vladimir Kopysov

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are stimulant drugs whose use is prohibited in athletic competition by the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) at very different threshold doping violation concentrations. We use a recently developed universal approach that integr ...

Isotopically selective collisional vibrational energy transfer in CF3H

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine

We investigate here the mechanism of collisionally-enhanced isotopic selectivity observed in infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) of vibrationally pre-excited CF3H by Boyarkin et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 118, 93 (2003)). For both the carbon-12 and carb ...

Spectroscopic Evidence for Peptide-Bond-Selective Ultraviolet Photodissociation

Oleg Boyarkine, Vladimir Kopysov, Aleksandr Pereverzev

We study the photodissociation induced by ultraviolet excitation of amide bonds in gas-phase protonated peptides. Jointly, mass spectrometry and cold ion spectroscopy provide evidence for a selective non-statistical dissociation of specific peptide bonds i ...

Ultraviolet Photodissociation of Peptides: New Insight on the Mobile Proton Model

Oleg Boyarkine, Aleksandr Pereverzev

In this work, we study the mechanism of peptide photodissociation by ultraviolet irradiation at 193 nm wavelength and discuss the role of ionization proton in this process. We found that substituting the ionization proton for the alkali metal cations (sodi ...

Interplay of Intra- and Intermolecular H-Bonding in a Progressively Solvated Macrocyclic Peptide

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine, Natalia Nagornova

Studying solvation of a large molecule on an atomic level is challenging because of the transient character and inhomogeneity of hydrogen bonding in liquid water. We studied water clusters of a protonated macrocyclic decapeptide, gramicidin S, which were p ...

Cold ion spectroscopy for structural identifications of biomolecules

Oleg Boyarkine

Over the last decade, the spectroscopy of cryogenically cold ions iso- lated in the gas phase has been developed as a new tool for structural elucidations of biological molecules. Cooling allows for vibrational resolution in UV and IR spectra of small to m ...
