Characterizations of tripeptides complexed with Zinc and Cadmium dications IRMPD

Research by Samantha K. Walker1, Brandon C. Stevenson1, Roland M. Jones III1, Giel Berden2, Jos Oomens2, and P. B. Armentrout1

1Department of Chemistry, University of Utah; 2Radboud University, Institute for Molecules and Materials, FELIX Laboratory, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Samantha K. Walker, Brandon C. Stevenson, Roland M. Jones III, Giel Berden, Jos Oomens, and P. B. Armentrout used ab initio quantum chemical calculations to identify several low-energy isomers and compare with experimentally obtained spectra. The group found that zinc plays a key role in the structure and function of proteins. Additionally, they found that metalated amino acids can be studied in the gas phase to remove solvent–solute interactions.
