Abstract
Photodissociation action spectroscopy has made a great progress in expanding investigations of gas-phase ion structures. This review deals with aspects of gas-phase ion electronic excitations that result in wavelength-dependent dissociation and light emission via fluorescence, chiefly covering the ultraviolet and visible regions of the spectrum. The principles are briefly outlined and a few examples of instrumentation are presented. The main thrust of the review is to collect and selectively present applications of UV-vis action spectroscopy to studies of stable gas-phase ion structures and combinations of spectroscopy with ion mobility, collision-induced dissociation, and ion-ion reactions leading to the generation of reactive intermediates and electronic energy transfer.

Abstract
Radical cations of an aliphatic tripeptide prolyl-glycyl-glycine (PGG•+) and its sequence ions [a3 + H]•+ and [b2 - H]•+ have been generated by collision-induced dissociation of the [Cu(Phen)(PGG)]•2+ complex, where Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline. Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy, ion-molecule reaction experiments, and theoretical calculations have been used to investigate the structures of these ions. The unpaired electron in these three radical cations is located at different α-carbons. The PGG•+ radical cation has a captodative structure with the radical at the α-carbon of the proline residue and the proton on the oxygen of the first amide group. This structure is at the global minimum on the potential energy surface (PES). By contrast, the [a3 + H]•+ and [b2 - H]•+ ions are not the lowest-energy structures on their respective PESs, and their radicals are formally located at the C-terminal and second α-carbons, respectively. Density functional theory calculations on the structures of the ternary copper(II) complex ion suggest that the charge-solvated isomer of the metal complex is the precursor ion that dissociates to give the PGG•+ radical cation. The isomer of the complex in which PGG is bound as a zwitterion dissociates to give the [a3 + H]•+ and [b2 - H]•+ ions.

Abstract
These last decades, it has been widely assumed that 18-crown-6-ether (CE) plays a spectator role during the chemical processes occurring in isolated host-guest complexes between peptides or proteins and CE after activation in mass spectrometers. Our present experimental and theoretical results challenge this hypothesis by showing that CE can abstract a proton or a protonated molecule from protonated peptides after activation by collisions in argon or electron capture/transfer. Furthermore, thanks to comparison between experimental and calculated values of collision cross-sections, we demonstrate that CE can change binding site after electron transfer. We also propose detailed mechanisms for these processes.

Abstract
In mass spectrometry-based peptide sequencing, electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and electron capture dissociation (ECD) have become well-established fragmentation methods complementary to collision-induced dissociation. The dominant fragmentation pathways during ETD and ECD primarily involve the formation of c- and z• -type ions by cleavage of the peptide backbone at the N─Cα bond, although neutral losses from amino acid side chains have also been observed. Residue-specific neutral side chain losses provide useful information when conducting database searching and de novo sequencing. Here, we use a combination of infrared ion spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations to assign the structures of two ETD-generated w-type fragment ions. These ions are spontaneously formed from ETD-generated z• -type fragments by neutral loss of 33 Da in peptides containing a cysteine residue. Analysis of the infrared ion spectra confirms that these z• -ions expel a thiol radical (SH• ) and that a vinyl C═C group is formed at the cleavage site. z• -type fragments containing a Cys residue but not at the cleavage site do not spontaneously expel a thiol radical, but only upon additional collisional activation after ETD.

Abstract
Hydrogen-rich DNA dinucleotide cation radicals (dGG + 2H)+•, (dCG + 2H)+•, and (dGC + 2H)+• represent transient species comprising protonated and hydrogen atom adducted nucleobase rings that serve as models for proton and radical migrations in ionized DNA. These DNA cation radicals were generated in the gas phase by electron-transfer dissociation of dinucleotide dication-crown-ether complexes and characterized by UV-vis photodissociation action spectra, ab initio calculations of structures and relative energies, and time-dependent density functional theory calculations of UV-vis absorption spectra. Theoretical calculations indicate that (dGG + 2H)+• cation radicals formed by electron transfer underwent an exothermic conformational collapse that was accompanied by guanine ring stacking and facile internucleobase hydrogen atom transfer, forming 3'-guanine C-8-H radicals. In contrast, exothermic hydrogen transfer from the 5'-cytosine radical onto the guanine ring in (dCG + 2H)+• was kinetically hampered, resulting in the formation of a mixture of 5'-cytosine and 3'-guanine radicals. Conformational folding and nucleobase stacking were energetically unfavorable in (dGC + 2H)+• that retained its structure of a 3'-cytosine radical, as formed by one-electron reduction of the dication. Hydrogen-rich guanine (G + H)• and cytosine (C + H)• radicals were calculated to have vastly different basicities in water, as illustrated by the respective p Ka values of 20.0 and 4.6, which is pertinent to their different abilities to undergo proton-transfer reactions in solution.

Abstract
Peptide cation radicals of the z-type were produced by electron transfer dissociation (ETD) of peptide dications and studied by UV-Vis photodissociation (UVPD) action spectroscopy. Cation radicals containing the Asp (D), Asn (N), Glu (E), and Gln (Q) residues were found to spontaneously isomerize by hydrogen atom migrations upon ETD. Canonical N-terminal [z4 + H]+● fragment ion-radicals of the R-C●H-CONH- type, initially formed by N-Cα bond cleavage, were found to be minor components of the stable ion fraction. Vibronically broadened UV-Vis absorption spectra were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory for several [●DAAR + H]+ isomers and used to assign structures to the action spectra. The potential energy surface of [●DAAR + H]+ isomers was mapped by ab initio and density functional theory calculations that revealed multiple isomerization pathways by hydrogen atom migrations. The transition-state energies for the isomerizations were found to be lower than the dissociation thresholds, accounting for the isomerization in non-dissociating ions. The facile isomerization in [●XAAR + H]+ ions (X = D, N, E, and Q) was attributed to low-energy intermediates having the radical defect in the side chain that can promote hydrogen migration along backbone Cα positions. A similar side-chain mediated mechanism is suggested for the facile intermolecular hydrogen migration between the c- and [z + H]●-ETD fragments containing Asp, Asn, Glu, and Gln residues.

Abstract
We report on the ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) chemistry of protonated tyrosine, iodotyrosine, and diiodotyrosine. Distonic loss of the iodine creates a high-energy radical at the aromatic ring that engages in hydrogen/proton rearrangement chemistry. Based on UVPD kinetics measurements, the appearance of this radical is coincident with the UV irradiation pulse (8 ns). Conversely, sequential UVPD product ions exhibit metastable decay on ca. 100 ns timescales. Infrared ion spectroscopy is capable of confirming putative structures of the rearrangement products as proton transfers from the imine and β-carbon hydrogens. Potential energy surfaces for the various reaction pathways indicate that the rearrangement chemistry is highly complex, compatible with a cascade of rearrangements, and that there is no preferred rearrangement pathway even in small molecular systems like these.

Abstract
We report the generation of deoxyriboadenosine dinucleotide cation radicals by gas-phase electron transfer to dinucleotide dications and their noncovalent complexes with crown ether ligands. Stable dinucleotide cation radicals of a novel hydrogen-rich type were generated and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry and UV-vis photodissociation (UVPD) action spectroscopy. Electron structure theory analysis indicated that upon electron attachment the dinucleotide dications underwent a conformational collapse followed by intramolecular proton migrations between the nucleobases to give species whose calculated UV-vis absorption spectra matched the UVPD action spectra. Hydrogen-rich cation radicals generated from chimeric riboadenosine 5'-diesters gave UVPD action spectra that pointed to novel zwitterionic structures consisting of aromatic π-electron anion radicals intercalated between stacked positively charged adenine rings. Analogies with DNA ionization are discussed.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2017; 28:164-181. [PMID: 27709510 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-016-1512-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2016] [Revised: 09/12/2016] [Accepted: 09/15/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Electron transfer to doubly and triply charged heptapeptide ions containing polar residues Arg, Lys, and Asp in combination with nonpolar Gly, Ala, and Pro or Leu generates stable and metastable charge-reduced ions, (M + 2H)+●, in addition to standard electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) fragment ions. The metastable (M + 2H)+● ions spontaneously dissociate upon resonant ejection from the linear ion trap, giving irregularly shaped peaks with offset m/z values. The fractions of stable and metastable (M + 2H)+● ions and their mass shifts depend on the presence of Pro-4 and Leu-4 residues in the peptides, with the Pro-4 sequences giving larger fractions of the stable ions while showing smaller mass shifts for the metastables. Conversion of the Asp and C-terminal carboxyl groups to methyl esters further lowers the charge-reduced ion stability. Collisional activation and photodissociation at 355 nm of mass-selected (M + 2H)+● results in different dissociations that give sequence specific MS3 spectra. With a single exception of charge-reduced (LKGLADR + 2H)+●, the MS3 spectra do not produce ETD sequence fragments of the c and z type. Hence, these (M + 2H)+● ions are covalent radicals, not ion-molecule complexes, undergoing dramatically different dissociations in the ground and excited electronic states. The increased stability of the Pro-4 containing (M + 2H)+● ions is attributed to radicals formed by opening of the Pro ring and undergoing further stabilization by hydrogen atom migrations. UV-VIS photodissociation action spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory calculations are used in a case in point study of the stable (LKGPADR + 2H)+● ion produced by ETD. In contrast to singly-reduced peptide ions, doubly reduced (M + 3H)+ ions are stable only when formed from the Pro-4 precursors and show all characteristics of even electron ions regarding no photon absorption at 355 nm or ion-molecule reactions, and exhibiting proton driven collision induced dissociations.
