Abstract
A π-type hydrogen bonding between the OH group and the π electron is a crucial factor for the conformational preference of the molecular structure with a flexible group. However, the information on the effect of the substituent on the OH/π interaction is insufficient. The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation, the dispersed fluorescence (DF), the IR-UV hole-burning, and the IR dip spectra of jet-cooled 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol were measured for the first time. Almost all bands observed in the spectral region of 35 550-36 500 cm-1 in the LIF excitation spectrum were successfully assigned with the DF and the IR-UV hole-burning spectra coupled with the quantum chemical calculation at M06-2x/6-311G and MP2/6-311G levels. Five conformers were found in the LIF excitation spectrum. The most stable conformer was Ggπ, and the second most stable conformer was Ggπ' (the trans rotamer of the methoxy group for Ggπ). Ggπ and Ggπ' had the OH group directed toward the π electron system of the benzene ring. The OH stretching frequency of Ggπ/Ggπ' of MPE in the IR dip spectra was red-shifted against that of Ggπ of phenylethanol, indicating that the introduction of the methoxy group would enhance the intramolecular OH/π interaction. In addition, the torsional vibration between the benzene ring and the side chain (-CH2CH2OH) (mode 63) was observed in the DF spectra of the Ggπ-00 and Ggπ'-00 band excitation, but their intensities were rather different, resulting from the different orientation of the OH group for each conformer toward the π electron system. The methoxy group would increase the negative charge on the benzene ring and would enhance the intramolecular OH/π interaction through the electrostatic interaction.

Abstract
Alkali metal complexes of cyclic dipeptide cyclo Tyr-Tyr have been studied under cryogenic ion trap conditions. Their structure was obtained by combining Infra-Red Photo-Dissociation (IRPD) and quantum chemical calculations. The structural motif strongly depends on the relative chirality of the tyrosine residues. For residues of identical chirality, the cation interacts with one amide oxygen and one of the aromatic rings only; the distance between the aromatic rings does not change with the nature of the metal. In contrast, for residues of opposite chirality, the metal cation is located in between the two aromatic rings and interacts with both of them. The distance between the two aromatic rings strongly depends on the metal. Electronic spectra obtained by Ultra Violet Photodissociation (UVPD) spectroscopy and analysis of the UV photo-fragments shed light on the excited state deactivation processes, which depend on both the chirality of the residue and that of the metal ion core. Na+ stands out by the presence of low-lying charge transfer states resulting in the broadening of the electronic spectrum.

Abstract
Carbamate is an emerging class of a polymer backbone for constructing sequence-defined, abiotic polymers. It is expected that new functional materials can be de novo designed by controlling the primary polycarbamate sequence. While amino acids have been actively studied as building blocks for protein folding and peptide self-assembly, carbamates have not been widely investigated from this perspective. Here, we combined infrared (IR), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to understand the conformation of carbamate monomer units in a nonpolar, aprotic environment (chloroform). Compared with amino acid building blocks, carbamates are more rigid, presumably due to the extended delocalization of π-electrons on the backbones. Cis configurations of the amide bond can be energetically stable in carbamates, whereas peptides often assume trans configurations at low energies. This study lays an essential foundation for future developments of carbamate-based sequence-defined polymer material design.

Abstract
Two diastereomers of the protonated diketopiperazine (DKP) dipeptide cyclo(Tyr-Tyr), namely, cyclo(LTyr-LTyr)H+ and cyclo(LTyr-DTyr)H+, are studied in a cryogenic ion trap by means of IR photodissociation spectroscopy combined with quantum chemical calculations. The two diastereomers have similar structures in which one of the rings is folded over the DKP ring and the other one is extended in a trans geometry, allowing a strong OH+···π interaction to take place. This contrasts to the observation of a stacked geometry for neutral cyclo(LTyr-LTyr) only under supersonic expansion conditions that do not exist for cyclo(LTyr-DTyr). In the protonated form, the strength of the OH+···π interaction is different for the two diastereomers, resulting in a ∼110 cm-1 difference in the ν(OH+) frequency and a smaller but clearly identifiable difference in the protonated amide ν(NH) frequency. Stereochemical effects are therefore still evidenced despite the strong perturbation due to the excess charge.

Abstract
The protonated dimers of the diketopiperazine dipeptide cyclo (LPhe-LHis) and cyclo (LPhe-DHis) are studied by laser spectroscopy combined with mass spectrometry to shed light on the influence of stereochemistry on the clustering propensity of cyclic dipeptides. The marked spectroscopic differences experimentally observed in the hydride stretch region are well accounted for by the results of DFT calculations. Both diastereomeric protonated dimers involve a strong ionic hydrogen bond from the protonated imidazole ring of one monomer to the neutral imidazole nitrogen of the other. While this strong interaction is accompanied by a single NH⋯O hydrogen bond between the amide functions of the two moieties for the protonated dimer of cyclo (LPhe-DHis), that of cyclo (LPhe-LHis) involves two NH⋯O interactions, forming the motif of an antiparallel β sheet. Therefore, a change in chirality of the residue prevents the formation of the β sheet pattern observed in the amyloid type aggregation. These results emphasize the peculiar role of the histidine residue in peptide structure and interaction.

Abstract
Protonated cyclic dipeptides undergo collision-induced dissociation, and this reaction mechanism strongly depends on the symmetry and the nature of the residues. We review the main dissociation mechanism for a series of cyclic dipeptides, obtained through chemical dynamics simulations. The systems range from the symmetrical cyclo-(glycyl-glycyl), with two possible symmetrical protonation sites located on the peptide ring, to cyclo-(tyrosyl-prolyl), where the symmetry of protonation sites on the peptide ring is broken by the dissimilar nature of the different residues. Finally, cyclo-(phenylalanyl-histidyl) shows a completely asymmetric situation, with the proton located on one of the dipeptide side chains, which explains the peculiar fragmentation mechanism induced by shuttling the proton, whose efficiency is strongly dependent on the relative chirality of the residues.

Abstract
A fully quantitative theory of the relationship between protein conformation and optical spectroscopy would facilitate deeper insights into biophysical and simulation studies of protein dynamics and folding. In contrast to intense bands in the far-ultraviolet, near-UV bands are much weaker and have been challenging to compute theoretically. We report some advances in the accuracy of calculations in the near-UV, which were realised through the consideration of the vibrational structure of the electronic transitions of aromatic side chains.

Abstract
![]()
Gas-phase, double
resonance IR spectroscopy has proven to be an
excellent approach to obtain structural information on peptides ranging
from single amino acids to large peptides and peptide clusters. In
this review, we discuss the state-of-the-art of infrared action spectroscopy
of peptides in the far-IR and THz regime. An introduction to the field
of far-IR spectroscopy is given, thereby highlighting the opportunities
that are provided for gas-phase research on neutral peptides. Current
experimental methods, including spectroscopic schemes, have been reviewed.
Structural information from the experimental far-IR spectra can be
obtained with the help of suitable theoretical approaches such as
dynamical DFT techniques and the recently developed Graph Theory.
The aim of this review is to underline how the synergy between far-IR
spectroscopy and theory can provide an unprecedented picture of the
structure of neutral biomolecules in the gas phase. The far-IR signatures
of the discussed studies are summarized in a far-IR map, in order
to gain insight into the origin of the far-IR localized and delocalized
motions present in peptides and where they can be found in the electromagnetic
spectrum.
