Abstract
In this perspective, gas-phase studies of group 1 monocations and group 12 dications with amino acids and small peptides are highlighted. Although the focus is on two experimental techniques, threshold collision-induced dissociation and infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy, these methods as well as complementary approaches are summarized. The synergistic interplay with theory, made particularly powerful by the small sizes of the systems explored and the absence of solvent and support, is also elucidated. Importantly, these gas-phase methods permit quantitative insight into the structures and thermodynamics of metal cations interacting with biological molecules. Periodic trends in how these interactions vary as the metal cations get heavier are discussed as are quantitative trends with changes in the amino acid side chain and effects of hydration. Such trends allow these results to transcend the limitations associated with the biomimetic model systems.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 310:123896.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of different numbers of Li+ interacting with various sites of DNA base pairs (adenine-thymine (AT) and cytosine-guanine (GC)) on the base pair structures, the strength of hydrogen bonding between the bases, and spectroscopic properties (IR and absorption spectra) of the base pairs was investigated. Two quantum computational analyses, the natural bonding orbitals (NBO) and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), were used to follow the change in the strength of hydrogen bonds between the bases in each pair. The type of base pair's site interacting with Li+ showed different effects on the change in the strength of the hydrogen bonds between the bases. The IR and absorption spectra of the lithiated base pairs were calculated and compared with those of bare base pairs. This comparison provided the changes in the spectra as a fingerprint for the structural identification of different lithiated base pairs. Also, the determination of the change in the strength of hydrogen bonds in the lithiated base pairs compared to their bare base pairs. In the other part of this study, the effect of the hydration of the attached Li+ in the structure of lithiated base pairs on the strength of their hydrogen bonds and spectra was investigated.

Abstract
Silver nitrate reacts with 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside (6-MMPR) in aqueous solution containing methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature to give a colourless crystalline complex, namely, bis(6-methylmercaptopurine riboside-κN7)(nitrato-κ2O,O')silver(I) 2.32-hydrate, [Ag(NO3)(C11H14N4O4S)2]·2.32H2O. The crystal structure, determined from synchrotron diffraction data, shows a central AgI ion on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, coordinated in an almost linear fashion by two 6-MMPR ligands via atom N7 (purine numbering), with the nitrate counter-ion loosely coordinated as a bidentate ligand, forming a discrete molecular complex as an approximate dihydrate. The complex and water molecules are connected in a three-dimensional network by hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Accurate information about interactions between group I metals and nucleic acids is required to understand the roles these metals play in basic cellular functions, disease progression, and pharmaceuticals, as well as to aid the design of new energy storage materials and nucleic acid sensors that target metal contaminants, among other applications. From this perspective, this work generates a complete CCSD(T)/CBS data set of the binding energies for 64 complexes involving each group I metal (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, or Cs+) directly coordinated to various sites in each nucleic acid component (A, C, G, T, U, or dimethylphosphate). This data have otherwise been challenging to determine experimentally, with highly accurate information missing for many group I metal-nucleic acid combinations and no data available for the (charged) phosphate moiety. Subsequently, the performance of 61 DFT methods in combination with def2-TZVPP is tested against the newly generated CCSD(T)/CBS reference values. Detailed analysis of the results reveals that functional performance is dependent on the identity of the metal (with increased errors as group I is descended) and nucleic acid binding site (with larger errors for select purine coordination sites). Over all complexes considered, the best methods include the mPW2-PLYP double-hybrid and ωB97M-V RSH functionals (≤1.6% MPE; <1.0 kcal/mol MUE). If more computationally efficient approaches are required, the TPSS and revTPSS local meta-GGA functionals are reasonable alternatives (≤2.0% MPE; <1.0 kcal/mol MUE). Inclusion of counterpoise corrections to account for basis set superposition error only marginally improves the computed binding energies, suggesting that these corrections can be neglected with little loss in accuracy when using larger models that are necessary for describing biosystems and biomaterials. Overall, the most accurate functionals identified in this study will permit future works geared towards uncovering the impact of group I metals on the environment and human biology, designing new ways to selectively sense harmful metals, engineering modern biomaterials, and developing improved computational methods to more broadly study group I metal-nucleic acid interactions.

Abstract
Complexes generated in the gas phase involving the purine nucleobase guanine bound to second and third generation platinum drugs, namely, carboplatin (CarboPt) and oxaliplatin (OxaliPt), were investigated by combining tandem mass spectrometry, collision-induced dissociation (CID), infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy (IRMPD), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. As the first step, a spectroscopic characterization of the protonated platinum drugs was accomplished. Protonation of both CarboPt and OxaliPt in the gas phase occurs on one of the two carbonyl groups of the cyclobutanedicarboxylate and oxalate ligand, respectively. Such protonation has been postulated by several theoretical studies as a key preliminary step in the hydrolysis of Pt drugs under acidic conditions. Subsequently, the protonated drugs react with guanine in solution to generate a complex of general formula [Pt drug + H + guanine]+, which was then mass-selected. CID experiments provided evidence of the presence of strong binding between guanine and platinum-based drugs within the complexes. The structures of the two complexes have also been examined by comparing the experimental IRMPD spectra recorded in two spectral regions with DFT-computed IR spectra. For each system, the IRMPD spectra agree with the vibrational spectra calculated for the global minimum structures, which present a monodentate complexation of Pt at the N7 position of canonical guanine. This binding scheme is therefore akin to that observed for cisplatin, while other coordination sites yield substantially less stable species. Interestingly, in the case of oxaliplatin, the IRMPD spectra are consistent with the presence of two isomeric forms very close in energy.

Abstract
Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) spectra of protonated 9-methyladenine (H+9MA), protonated 7-methyl adenine (H+7MA), protonated 3-methyladenine (H+3MA), and sodiated 7-methyladenine (Na+7MA) near the origin bands of the S0-S1 transition were obtained using cryogenic ion spectroscopy. The UV-UV hole burning, infrared (IR) ion-dip, and IR-UV double resonance spectra showed that all the ions were present as single isomers in a cryogenic ion trap. The UVPD spectrum of H+9MA exhibited only a broad absorption band, whereas the spectra of H+7MA, H+3MA, and Na+7MA displayed moderately or well-resolved vibronic bands. Potential energy profiles were computed to understand the reason for the different bandwidths of the vibronic bands in the spectra. The broadening of the bands was correlated with the slopes between the Franck-Condon point and the conical intersection between the S1 and S0 states in the potential energy profiles, thus reflecting the deactivation rates in the S1 state.

Abstract
This article highlights the fundamentals of ion-solvent clustering processes that are pertinent to understanding an ion's behaviour during differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) experiments. We contrast DMS with static-field ion mobility, where separation is affected by mobility differences under the high-field and low-field conditions of an asymmetric oscillating electric field. Although commonly used in mass spectrometric (MS) workflows to enhance signal-to-noise ratios and remove isobaric contaminants, the chemistry and physics that underpins the phenomenon of differential mobility has yet to be fully fleshed out. Moreover, we are just now making progress towards understanding how the DMS separation waveform creates a dynamic clustering environment when the carrier gas is seeded with the vapour of a volatile solvent molecule (e.g., methanol). Interestingly, one can correlate the dynamic clustering behaviour observed in DMS experiments with gas-phase and solution-phase molecular properties such as hydrophobicity, acidity, and solubility. However, to create a generalized, global model for property determination using DMS data one must employ machine learning. In this article, we provide a first-principles description of differential ion mobility in a dynamic clustering environment. We then discuss the correlation between dynamic clustering propensity and analyte physicochemical properties and demonstrate that analytes exhibiting similar ion-solvent interactions (e.g., charge-dipole) follow well-defined trends with respect to DMS clustering behaviour. Finally, we describe how supervised machine learning can be used to create predictive models of molecular properties using DMS data. We additionally highlight open questions in the field and provide our perspective on future directions that can be explored.

Abstract
Understanding how lithium interacts with complex biosystems is crucial for uncovering the roles of this alkali metal in biology and designing extraction techniques for battery production and environmental remediation. In this light, fundamental information about Li+ binding to nucleic acids is required. Herein, a new database of Li+-nucleic acid interactions is presented that contains CCSD(T)/CBS benchmark energies for all nucleobase and phosphate binding locations. Furthermore, the performance of 54 DFT functionals in combination with three triple-zeta (TZ) basis sets (6-311+G(3df,2p), aug-cc-pVTZ, and def2-TZVPP) is tested. The results identify a range of functionals across different families (B2-PLYP, PBE-QIDH, ωB97, ωB97X-D, MN15, B3PW91, B97-2, TPSS, BP86-D3(BJ), and PBE) that can accurately describe coordinated Li+-nucleic acid interactions, with the average mean percent error (AMPE) across binding positions and basis sets being below 2%. Nevertheless, only three functionals tested (B2-PLYP, PBE-QIDH, and ωB97X-D) preserve this accuracy for metal cation-π interactions, suggesting that caution is warranted when choosing a functional to describe a diverse range of Li+-nucleic acid complexes. Removal of counterpoise corrections has very little impact on the reliability of most functionals, while the effect of empirical dispersion corrections varies depending on the functional choice and interaction type. While increasing the basis set to quadruple-zeta quality had little impact on the AMPE, the accuracy of double-zeta basis sets varies with family. Importantly, DFT methods reproduce the CCSD(T)/CBS trend in the preferred binding position for a given nucleic acid component and the global trend across components (phosphate ≫ G > C ≫ A ∼ T = U), as well as the geometries of the metal-nucleic acid complexes. The overall top performing functional is PBE-QIDH, which results in deviations from CCSD(T)/CBS values as small as ∼0.1 kcal/mol for nucleobase contacts and ∼1 kcal/mol for phosphate interactions. The most accurate DFT methods identified in the present work are recommended for future investigations of lithium interactions in larger nucleic acid systems to provide insights into the biological roles of this metal and the design of novel biosensing strategies.

Abstract
Cryogenic ion spectroscopy was used to characterize adenine complexes containing alkali metal cations (M+A, M = Cs, Rb, K, Na, and Li) produced by electrospray ionization. The ultraviolet (UV) photodissociation spectra of the complexes stored in a cryogenic ion trap exhibited well-resolved vibronic bands near their origin bands of the S0-S1 transition. The UV-UV hole-burning and infrared ion-dip spectra showed that all the M+A ions in the ion trap were single isomers of M+A7a, where the M+ ion was not bound to canonical 9H-adenine (A9) but bound to a rare tautomer, 7H-adenine (A7). Density functional theory calculations showed lower tautomerization barriers for M+A9 than for bare A9 in aqueous solution. We suggest that M+ ions not only play a catalytic role in the tautomerization of A9 to A7 but also increase the tautomerization yield by forming stable M+A7a isomers.

Abstract
In this work, the first and second dissociative potential curves of adenineLi+ (ADLi+), guanineLi+ (GUALi+), cytosineLi+(CYTLi+), and thymineLi+ (THYLi+) complexes, related to the dissociation of their LiO and LiN bonds, have been calculated in the gas phase and water, separately. For this purpose, the fifteen excited potential curves, in order of increasing energy, were calculated for each complex and the dissociative potential curves were distinguished from them considering the conical intersection points. The time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method employing the M06-2X functional was used for the calculations. It was observed that the electron transfer from the DNA base to the Li+ took place during the dissociation of complexes in the gas phase. The electrostatic field of water blocked this charge transfer and led to the excited DNA base and Li+ in its ground state. The vertical excitation energy for the desorption of the Li fragment as a neutral and cation species from the DNA bases was determined. The effect of the interaction site of Li+ on the dissociative potential curves was also investigated.

Abstract
A key decay pathway by which organic sunscreen molecules dissipate harmful UV energy involves excited-state hydrogen atom transfer between proximal enol and keto functional groups. Structural modifications of this molecular architecture have the potential to block ultrafast decay processes, and hence promote direct excited-state molecular dissociation, profoundly affecting the efficiency of an organic sunscreen. Herein, we investigate the binding of alkali metal cations to a prototype organic sunscreen molecule, oxybenzone, using IR characterization. Mass-selective IR action spectroscopy was conducted at the free electron laser for infrared experiments, FELIX (600-1800 cm-1), on complexes of Na+, K+ and Rb+ bound to oxybenzone. The IR spectra reveal that K+ and Rb+ adopt binding positions away from the key OH intermolecular hydrogen bond, while the smaller Na+ cation binds directly between the keto and enol oxygens, thus breaking the intramolecular hydrogen bond. UV laser photodissociation spectroscopy was also performed on the series of complexes, with the Na+ complex displaying a distinctive electronic spectrum compared to those of K+ and Rb+, in line with the IR spectroscopy results. TD-DFT calculations reveal that the origin of the changes in the electronic spectra can be linked to rupture of the intramolecular bond in the sodium cationized complex. The implications of our results for the performance of sunscreens in mixtures and environments with high concentrations of metal cations are discussed.

Abstract
The structures and properties of metal cationized complexes of 9-ethylguanine (9eG) and 1-methylcytosine (1mC), (9eG:1mC)M+, where M+ = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+ as well as the protonated complex, (9eG:1mC)H+, have been studied using a combination of IRMPD spectroscopy and computational methods. For (9eG:1mC)H+, the dominant structure is a Hoogsteen type complex with the proton covalently bound to N3 of 1mC despite this being the third best protonation site of the two bases; based on proton affinities N7 of 9eG should be protonated. However, this structural oddity can be explained considering both the number of hydrogen bonds that can be formed when N3 of 1mC is protonated as well as the strong ion-induced dipole interaction that exists between an N3 protonated 1mC and 9eG due to the higher polarizability of 9eG. The anomalous dissociation of (9eG:1mC)H+, forming much more (1mC)H+ than would be predicted based on the computed thermochemistry, can be explained as being due to the structural oddity of the protonation site and that the barrier to proton transfer from N3 of 1mC to N7 of 9eG grows dramatically as the base pair begins to dissociate. For the (9eG:1mC)M+; M = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+ complexes, single unique structures could not be assigned. However, the experimental spectra were consistent with the computed spectra. For (9eG:1mC)Li+, the lowest energy structure is one in which Li+ is bound to O6 of 9eG and both O2 and N3 of 1mC; there is also an interbase hydrogen bond from the amine of 1mC to N7 of 9eG. For Na+, K+, and Rb+, similar binding of the metal cation to 1mC is calculated but, unlike Li+, the lowest energy structure is one in which the metal cation is bound to N7 of 9eG; there is also an interbase hydrogen bond between the amine of 1mC and the carbonyl of 9eG. The lowest energy structure for the Cs complex is the Watson-Crick type base pairing with Cs+ binding only to 9eG through O6 and N7 and with three hydrogen bonds between 9eG and 1mC. It also interesting to note that the Watson-Crick base pairing structure gets lower in Gibbs energy relative to the lowest energy complexes as the metal gets larger. This indicates that the smaller, more densely charged cations have a greater propensity to interfere with Watson-Crick base pairing than do the larger, less densely charged metal cations.

Raczyńska ED, Gal JF, Maria PC, Kamińska B, Igielska M, Kurpiewski J, Juras W. Purine tautomeric preferences and bond-length alternation in relation with protonation-deprotonation and alkali metal cationization. J Mol Model 2020; 26:93. [PMID: 32248379 PMCID: PMC7256107 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-020-4343-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations were carried out for deprotonated (P-) and protonated purine (PH+) and for adducts with one alkali metal cation (P-M+ and PM+, where M+ is Li+ or Na+) in the gas phase {B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)}, a model of perfectly apolar environment, and for selected structures in aqueous solution {PCM(water)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)}, a reference polar medium for biological studies. All potential isomers of purine derivatives were considered, the favored structures indicated, and the preferred sites for protonation/deprotonation and cationization reactions determined. Proton and metal cation basicities of purine in the gas phase were discussed and compared with those of imidazole and pyrimidine. Bond-length alternations in the P, PH+, P-M+, and PM+ forms were quantitatively measured using the harmonic oscillator model of electron delocalization (HOMED) indices and compared with those for P. Variations of the HOMED values when proceeding from the purine structural building blocks, pyrimidine and imidazole, to the bicyclic purine system were also examined. Generally, the isolated NH isomers exhibit a strongly delocalized π-system (HOMED > 0.8). Deprotonation slightly increases the HOMED values, whereas protonation and cationization change the HOMED indices in different way. For bidentate M+-adducts, the HOMED values are larger than 0.9 like for the largely delocalized P-. The HOMED values correlate well in a comprehensive relationship with the relative Gibbs energies (ΔG) calculated for individual isomers whatever the purine form is, neutral, protonated, or cationized. When PCM-DFT model was utilized for P-, PH+, PM+, and P-M+ (M+ = Li+) both electron delocalization and relative stability are different from those for the molecules in vacuo. The solvation effects cause a slight increase in HOMEDs, whereas the ΔEs decrease, but in different ways. Hence, contribution of particular isomers in the isomeric mixtures of PH+, PM+, and P-M+ also varies. HOMED variations for the favored neutral, deprotonated, protonated, and lithiated forms of purine in the gas phase and aqueous solution.

Abstract
Gas-phase conformations of the sodium-cationized forms of the 2'-deoxycytidine and cytidine mononucleotides, [pdCyd+Na]+ and [pCyd+Na]+, are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy. Complimentary electronic structure calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory provide candidate conformations and their respective predicted IR spectra for comparison across the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions. Comparisons of the predicted IR spectra and the measured infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectra provide insight into the impact of sodium cationization on intrinsic mononucleotide structure. Further, comparison of present results with those reported for the sodium-cationized cytidine nucleoside analogues elucidates the impact of the phosphate moiety on gas-phase structure. Across the neutral, protonated, and sodium-cationized cytidine mononucleotides, a preference for stabilization of the phosphate moiety and nucleobase orientation is observed, although the details of this stabilization differ with the state of cationization. Several low-energy conformations of [pdCyd+Na]+ and [pCyd+Na]+ involving several different orientations of the phosphate moiety and sugar puckering modes are observed experimentally.

Structures and Relative Glycosidic Bond Stabilities of Protonated 2'-Fluoro-Substituted Purine Nucleosides. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2019; 30:1521-1536. [PMID: 31111413 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-019-02222-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The 2'-substituent is the primary distinguishing feature between DNA and RNA nucleosides. Modifications to this critical position, both naturally occurring and synthetic, can produce biologically valuable nucleoside analogues. The unique properties of fluorine make it particularly interesting and medically useful as a synthetic nucleoside modification. In this work, the effects of 2'-fluoro modification on the protonated gas-phase purine nucleosides are examined using complementary tandem mass spectrometry and computational methods. Direct comparisons are made with previous studies on related nucleosides. Infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy performed in both the fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions allows for the determination of the experimentally populated conformations. The populated conformers of protonated 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine, [Adofl+H]+, and 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyguanosine, [Guofl+H]+, are highly parallel to their respective canonical DNA and RNA counterparts. Both N3 and N1 protonation sites are accessed by [Adofl+H]+, stabilizing syn and anti nucleobase orientations, respectively. N7 protonation and anti nucleobase orientation dominates in [Guofl+H]+. Spectroscopically observable intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions with fluorine allow more definitive sugar puckering determinations than possible for the canonical systems. [Adofl+H]+ adopts C2'-endo sugar puckering, whereas [Guofl+H]+ adopts both C2'-endo and C3'-endo sugar puckering. Energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation experiments with survival yield analyses provide relative glycosidic bond stabilities. The N-glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated 2'-fluoro-substituted purine nucleosides are found to exceed those of their canonical analogues. Further, the N-glycosidic bond stability is found to increase with increasing electronegativity of the 2'-substituent, i.e., H < OH < F. The N-glycosidic bond stability is also greater for the adenine nucleoside analogues than the guanine nucleoside analogues.

Abstract
Thymidine (dThd) is a fundamental building block of DNA nucleic acids, whereas 5-methyluridine (Thd) is a common modified nucleoside found in tRNA. In order to determine the conformations of the sodium cationized thymine nucleosides [dThd+Na]+ and [Thd+Na]+ produced by electrospray ionization, their infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectra are measured. Complementary electronic structure calculations are performed to determine the stable low-energy conformations of these complexes. Geometry optimizations and frequency analyses are performed at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory, whereas energies are calculated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) level of theory. As protonation preferentially stabilizes minor tautomers of dThd and Thd, tautomerization facilitated by Na+ binding is also considered. Comparisons of the measured IRMPD and computed IR spectra find that [dThd+Na]+ prefers tridentate (O2,O4',O5') coordination to the canonical 2,4-diketo form of dThd with thymine in a syn orientation. In contrast, [Thd+Na]+ prefers bidentate (O2,O2') coordination to the canonical 2,4-diketo tautomer of Thd with thymine in an anti orientation. Although 2,4-dihydroxy tautomers and O2 protonated thymine nucleosides coexist in the gas phase, no evidence for minor tautomers is observed for the sodium cationized species. Consistent with experimental observations, the computational results confirm that the sodium cationized thymine nucleosides exhibit a strong preference for the canonical form of the thymine nucleobase. Survival yield analyses based on energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (ER-CID) experiments suggest that the relative stabilities of protonated and sodium cationized dThd and Thd follow the order [dThd+H]+ < [Thd+H]+ < [dThd+Na]+ < [Thd+Na]+.

Abstract
The complex obtained by the reaction of cisplatin and 2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-dAMP) in water has been isolated and detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The so-formed cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(5'-dAMP)]+ complex has been studied in detail by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in two spectral ranges, namely, 700-1900 and 2800-3800 cm-1, backed by quantum-chemical calculations at the B3LYP/LACV3P/6-311G** level of theory. In agreement with the computational results, the vibrational spectroscopic characterization of cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(5'-dAMP)]+ shows that the sampled ionic population comprises two major isomers, differentiated in the X-H stretching region by their distinct fragmentation patterns. One of these species presents coordination of the platinum moiety at the N3 position of adenine, whereas in the second one, platinum is bound at the N1 position of adenine. IRMPD kinetics have allowed an estimation of their relative proportions. Surprisingly, the most abundant component of cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(5'-dAMP)]+ is the N3 isomer, although it is slightly less stable than the other potential isomers in the gas phase. In contrast, the lowest-energy species, namely, the one showing cisplatin binding to the N7 position of adenine, seems to be the one less represented in the sampled ionic population. These findings suggest that the reaction of cisplatin with 5'-dAMP is governed by the kinetics of the process occurring in solution rather than by the thermodynamic factors.

Abstract
Uridine (Urd) is one of the naturally occurring pyrimidine nucleosides of RNA. 2'-Deoxyuridine (dUrd) is a naturally occurring modified form of Urd, but is not one of the canonical DNA nucleosides. In order to understand the effects of sodium cationization on the conformations and energetics of Urd and dUrd, infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed. By comparing the calculated IR spectra of [Urd+Na]+ and [dUrd+Na]+ with the measured IRMPD spectra, the stable low-energy conformers populated in the experiments are determined. Anti oriented bidentate O2 and O2' binding conformers of [Urd+Na]+ are the dominant conformers populated in the experiments, whereas syn oriented tridentate O2, O4', and O5' binding conformers of [dUrd+Na]+ are dominantly populated in the experiments. The 2'-hydroxyl substituent of Urd stabilizes the anti oriented O2 binding conformers of [Urd+Na]+. Significant differences between the measured IRMPD and calculated IR spectra for complexes of [Urd+Na]+ and [dUrd+Na]+ involving minor tautomeric forms of the nucleobase make it obvious that none are populated in the experiments. Survival yield analyses based on energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (ER-CID) experiments suggest that the relative stabilities of protonated and sodium cationized Urd and dUrd follow the order: [dUrd+H]+ < [Urd+H]+ < [dUrd+Na]+ < [Urd+Na]+. The 2'-deoxy modification is found to weaken the glycosidic bond of dUrd versus that of Urd for the sodium cationized uridine nucleosides.

Abstract
The influence of noncovalent interactions with a sodium cation on the gas-phase structures and N-glycosidic bond stabilities of 2'-deoxyadenosine (dAdo) and adenosine (Ado), [dAdo+Na](+) and [Ado+Na](+), are probed via infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy and energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (ER-CID) experiments. ER-CID experiments are also performed on the protonated forms of these nucleosides, [dAdo+H](+) and [Ado+H](+), for comparison purposes. Complementary electronic structure calculations are performed to determine the structures and relative stabilities of the stable low-energy conformations of the sodium cationized nucleoside complexes and to predict their IR spectra. Comparison between the measured IRMPD action spectra and calculated IR spectra enables the conformations of the sodium cationized nucleosides present in the experiments to be elucidated. The influence of sodium cationization versus protonation on the structures and IR spectra is elucidated by comparison to IRMPD and theoretical results previously reported for the protonated forms of these nucleosides. The influence of sodium cationization versus protonation on the glycosidic bond stability of the adenine nucleosides is determined by comparison of the ER-CID behavior of these systems. All structures present in the experiments are found to involve tridentate binding of Na(+) to the N3, O4', and O5' atoms forming favorable 5- and 6-membered chelation rings, which requires that adenine rotate to a syn configuration. This mode of sodium cation binding results in moderate flexibility of the sugar moiety such that the sugar puckering of the conformations present varies between C2'-endo and O4'-endo. Sodium cationization is found to be less effective toward activating the N-glycosidic bond than protonation for both dAdo and Ado. Both the IRMPD yields and ER-CID behavior indicate that the 2'-hydroxyl substituent of Ado stabilizes the N-glycosidic bond relative to that of dAdo.

Abstract
We present infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculation results for the protonated permethylated β-cyclodextrin (CD)-water non-covalent complex, the simplest β-CD non-covalent complex, in the gas-phase. The IRMPD spectrum in the region 2700-3750 cm(-1) consisted of three strong peaks at 3096, 3315, and 3490 cm(-1). These spectral features in the experimental IRMPD spectrum were compared with a large set of infrared absorption spectra predicted using density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the protonated β-CD-water complex. Complex III (see ), in which the water molecule (at the primary rim) and the proton (at the secondary rim) were separated, was found to suitably reflect the main spectral characteristics found in the experimental IRMPD spectrum. The absence of the homodromic hydrogen bond ring, due to replacement of hydroxyl groups with methoxy groups in permethylated β-CD, rendered the primary rim open compared with the unmodified β-CD 'one-gate-closed' lowest energy conformer. This study demonstrates that IRMPD studies combined with DFT theoretical calculations can be a good method for studying molecular interactions of large host-guest pairs.

Abstract
![]()
Electrospray
ionization (ESI) in the negative ion mode was used
to create anionic, gas-phase oxo-molybdenum complexes with dithiolene
ligands. By varying ESI and ion transfer conditions, both doubly and
singly charged forms of the complex, with identical formulas, could
be observed. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the dianion generated
exclusively the monoanion, while fragmentation of the monoanion involved
decomposition of the dithiolene ligands. The intrinsic structure of
the monoanion and the dianion were determined by using wavelength-selective
infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy and density
functional theory calculations. The IRMPD spectrum for the dianion
exhibits absorptions that can be assigned to (ligand) C=C,
C–S, C—C≡N, and Mo=O stretches. Comparison
of the IRMPD spectrum to spectra predicted for various possible conformations
allows assignment of a pseudo square pyramidal structure with C2v symmetry, equatorial coordination
of MoO2+ by the S atoms of the dithiolene ligands, and
a singlet spin state. A single absorption was observed for the oxidized
complex. When the same scaling factor employed for the dianion is
used for the oxidized version, theoretical spectra suggest that the
absorption is the Mo=O stretch for a distorted square pyramidal
structure and doublet spin state. A predicted change in conformation
upon oxidation of the dianion is consistent with a proposed bonding
scheme for the bent-metallocene dithiolene compounds [Lauher, J. W.; Hoffmann, R. J. Am.
Chem. Soc.1976, 98, 1729−1742], where a large
folding of the dithiolene moiety along the S···S vector
is dependent on the occupancy of the in-plane metal d-orbital.

Abstract
The structure of the Pb(2+)-deprotonated 2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-monophosphate (dGMP) complex, generated in the gas phase by electrospray ionization, was examined by combining tandem mass spectrometry, mid-infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy and ion mobility. In the gas phase, the main binding site of Pb(2+) onto deprotonated dGMP is the deprotonated phosphate group, but the question is whether an additional stabilization of the metallic complex can occur via participation of the carbonyl group of guanine. Such macrochelates indeed correspond to the most stable structures according to theoretical calculations. A multiplexed experimental approach was used to characterize the gas-phase conformation of the metallic complex and hence determine the binding mode of Pb(2+) with [dGMP](-). MS/MS analysis, observation of characteristic bands by IRMPD spectroscopy, and measurement of the ion mobility collision cross section suggest that gaseous [Pb(dGMP)-H](+) complexes adopt a macrochelate folded structure, which consequently differs strongly from the zwitterionic forms postulated in solution from potentiometric studies.

Abstract
The unimolecular chemistry of the [Zn(Pro-H)(Pro)](+) complex following collisional or infrared multiple photon activation was studied, and interestingly was found to lose H2 as one of the main dissociation pathways. Furthermore a second dehydrogenation step, forming [Zn(Pro-H)(Pro)-2H2](+), was also observed. When proline was substituted for sarcosine, also a secondary amine, a single dehydrogenation was observed. In contrast, [Zn(Gly-H)(Gly)](+) and [Zn(Ala-H)(Ala)](+) were found to lose H2O as their primary fragmentation route with no dehydrogenation observed. Tandem mass spectrometry, deuterium substitution, and infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the origin of the H atoms in the losses of H2, as well as for other fragmentation routes, including the loss of H2O. The hydrogen atoms for H2 loss from [Zn(Pro-H)(Pro)](+) was found to originate on the amine group and primarily from C5 on the non-deprotonated proline, with a smaller contribution from the C2 hydrogen. Both hydrogens for H2O loss were determined to be from labile hydrogens. Potential energy surfaces were computed for the H2 loss and H2O loss routes for both [Zn(Pro-H)(Pro)](+) and [Zn(Gly-H)(Gly)](+) and were compared. For [Zn(Pro-H)(Pro)](+), H2 loss was found to be the pathway with the lower energy requirement than for H2O loss, and the opposite was found for [Zn(Gly-H)(Gly)](+). The greater basicities of proline and sarcosine are most likely responsible for stabilizing the 3 coordinate Zn(2+) transition states en route to H2 loss, compared to those complexes formed with the much less basic glycine or alanine.

Abstract
Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy experiments and quantum chemical calculations have been used to explore the possible structures of protonated azidothymidine and the corresponding protonated dimer. Many interesting differences between the protonated and neutral forms of azidothymidine were found, particularly associated with keto-enol tautomerization. Comparison of computational vibrational and the experimental IMRPD spectra show good agreement and give confidence that the dominant protonated species has been identified. The protonated dimer of azidothymidine exhibits three intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The IRMPD spectrum of the protonated dimer is consistent with the spectrum of the most stable computational structure. This work brings to light interesting keto-enol tautomerization and exocyclic hydrogen bonding involving azidothymidine and its protonated dimer. The fact that one dominant protonated species is observed in the gas phase, despite both the keto and enol structures being similar in energy, is proposed to be the direct result of the electrospray ionization process in which the dominant protonated dimer structure dissociates in the most energetically favorable way.

Abstract
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of biomolecular ions combines mass spectrometry's high sensitivity and ability to analyze complex mixtures with the enhanced structural information available from vibrational spectroscopy. IR spectroscopy is in principle well placed to distinguish isomers and allow chemical classification of unknown molecules. This review gives an outline of current instrumentation, spectroscopic approaches, and potential bottlenecks. We discuss the most promising applications in bioanalytical mass spectrometry in view of recent experimental results, as well as future applications based on bioinformatics.

Abstract
Protonated ferulic acid and its principle fragment ion have been characterized using infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations at the B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) level of theory. Due to its extensively conjugated structure, protonated ferulic acid is observed to yield three stable fragment ions in IRMPD experiments. It is proposed that two parallel fragmentation pathways of protonated ferulic acid are being observed. The first pathway involves proton transfer, resulting in the loss of water and subsequently carbon monoxide, producing fragment ions m/z 177 and 149, respectively. Optimization of m/z 177 yields a species containing an acylium group, which is supported by a diagnostic peak in the IRMPD spectrum at 2168 cm(-1). The second pathway involves an alternate proton transfer leading to loss of methanol and rearrangement to a five-membered ring.

Abstract
Hydration reactions of sodiated and potassiated nucleic acid bases (uracil, thymine, cytosine, and adenine) produced by electrospray have been studied in a gas phase using the pulsed ion-beam high-pressure mass spectrometer. The thermochemical properties, ΔH(o)(n), ΔS(o)(n), and ΔG(o)(n), for the hydrated systems were obtained from hydration equilibrium measurement. The structural aspects of the hydrated complexes are discussed in conjunction with available literature data. The correlation between water binding energies in the hydrated complexes and the corresponding metal ion affinities of nucleobases suggests that a significant (if not dominant) amount of the canonical structure of cytosine undergoes tautomerization during electrospray ionization, and the thermochemical values for cationized cytosine probably correspond to a mixture of tautomeric complexes.

Abstract
Metal chelation can alter the activity of free biomolecules by modifying their structures or stabilizing higher energy tautomers. In recent years, mass spectrometric techniques have been used to investigate the effects of metal complexation with proteins, nucleobases and nucleotides, where small conformational changes can have significant physiological consequences. In particular, infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy has emerged as an important tool for determining the structure and reactivity of gas-phase ions. Unlike other mass spectrometric approaches, this method is able to directly resolve structural isomers using characteristic vibrational signatures. Other activation and dissociation methods, such as blackbody infrared radiative dissociation or collision-induced dissociation can also reveal information about the thermochemistry and dissociative pathways of these biological ions. This information can then be used to provide information about the structures of the ionic complexes under study. In this article, we review the use of gas-phase techniques in characterizing metal-bound biomolecules. Particular attention will be given to our own contributions, which detail the ability of metal cations to disrupt nucleobase pairs, direct the self-assembly of nucleobase clusters and stabilize non-canonical isomers of amino acids.

Abstract
The thermochemical properties ΔH(o)(n), ΔS(o)(n), and ΔG(o)(n) for the hydration of sodiated and potassiated monosaccharides (Ara = arabinose, Xyl = xylose, Rib = ribose, Glc = glucose, and Gal = galactose) have been experimentally studied in the gas phase at 10 mbar by equilibria measurements using an electrospray high-pressure mass spectrometer equipped with a pulsed ion beam reaction chamber. The hydration enthalpies for sodiated complexes were found to be between -46.4 and -57.7 kJ/mol for the first, and -42.7 and -52.3 kJ/mol for the second water molecule. For potassiated complexes, the water binding enthalpies were similar for all studied systems and varied between -48.5 and -52.7 kJ/mol. The thermochemical values for each system correspond to a mixture of the α and β anomeric forms of monosaccharide structures involved in their cationized complexes.

Abstract
The structure of the [Pb(UMP)-H](+) (UMP = uridine-5'-monophosphate) complex was studied in the gas phase by combining electrospray ionization (ESI), tandem mass spectrometry, and mid-infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy. The results obtained show that Pb(2+) ions interact not only with the deprotonated phosphate group but also with a carbonyl group of the nucleobase moiety by folding of the mononucleotide, resulting in macrochelates that are not likely to be present in solution. Comparison between the IRMPD and DFT-computed spectra suggests that the ESI-generated complex likely corresponds to a mixture of several structures, and establishes the enolic tautomers as the most abundant species for the [Pb(UMP)-H](+) ion, while the very weak IRMPD signal observed at ∼1763 cm(-1) points to a minor population of oxo forms. Our data also suggest that losing the nucleobase residue under CID conditions does not necessarily mean a lack of interaction between the metal and the nucleobase moiety, as commonly reported in the literature for large oligonucleotides.

Abstract
We present infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectra in the hydrogen stretching region of the simplest b fragment, b(2) from protonated triglycine, contrasted to that of protonated cyclo(Gly-Gly). Both spectra confirm the presence of intense, diagnostic vibrations linked to the site of proton attachment. Protonated cyclo(Gly-Gly) serves as a reference spectrum for the diketopiperazine structure, showing a diagnostic O-H(+) stretch of the protonated carbonyl group at 3585 cm(-1). Conversely, b(2) from protonated triglycine exhibits a strong band at 3345 cm(-1), associated with the N-H stretching mode of the protonated oxazolone ring structure. Other weaker N-H stretches can also be discerned, such as the amino NH(2) and amide NH bands. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the hydrogen stretching region, and hence benchtop optical parametric oscillator/amplifier (OPO/A) set-ups, in making structural assignments of product ions in collision-induced dissociation (CID) of peptides.

Abstract
We present a laboratory-constructed mass spectrometer optimized for recording infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectra of mass-selected ions using a benchtop tunable infrared optical parametric oscillator∕amplifier (OPO∕A). The instrument is equipped with two ionization sources, an electrospray ionization source, as well as an electron ionization source for troubleshooting. This hybrid mass spectrometer is composed of a quadrupole mass filter for mass selection, a reduced pressure (∼10(-5) Torr) quadrupole ion trap (QIT) for OPO irradiation, and a reflectron time-of-flight drift tube for detecting the remaining precursor and photofragment ions. A helium gas pulse is introduced into the QIT to temporarily increase the pressure and hence enhance the trapping efficiency of axially injected ions. After a brief pump-down delay, the compact ion cloud is subjected to the focused output from the continuous wave OPO. In a recent study, we implemented this setup in the study of protonated tryptophan, TrpH(+), as well as collision-induced dissociation products of this protonated amino acid [W. K. Mino, Jr., K. Gulyuz, D. Wang, C. N. Stedwell, and N. C. Polfer, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2, 299 (2011)]. Here, we give a more detailed account on the figures of merit of such IRMPD experiments. The appreciable photodissociation yields in these measurements demonstrate that IRMPD spectroscopy of covalently bound ions can be routinely carried out using benchtop OPO setups.
