Abstract
We present the implementation of tandem mass-selective cryogenic ion traps, designed to enhance the range of ion processing capabilities that can be performed prior to spectroscopic interrogation. We show that both the formation of ion clusters and mass filtering steps can be combined in a single cryogenic linear quadrupole ion trap driven by RF square waves. Mass filtering and mass isolation can be achieved by manipulation of the RF frequency and duty cycle. Very importantly, this scheme circumvents the need for high-amplitude RF voltages that can be incompatible with typical cryogenic ion processing conditions. In addition, proper adjustment of the stability boundaries during the clustering process allows for the preferential formation of a specific cluster size rather than a broad distribution of sizes. Lastly, we show that a specific cluster size can be formed, mass-selected, and then transferred to another ion trap for a second completely separate ion processing step. The instrumentation and modular design developed here expand the scope of ionic species and clusters that can be accessed by processing electrosprayed ions.

Reconstructing the infrared spectrum of a peptide from representative conformers of the full canonical ensemble. Commun Chem 2023; 6:46.

Abstract
Leucine enkephalin (LeuEnk), a biologically active endogenous opioid pentapeptide, has been under intense investigation because it is small enough to allow efficient use of sophisticated computational methods and large enough to provide insights into low-lying minima of its conformational space. Here, we reproduce and interpret experimental infrared (IR) spectra of this model peptide in gas phase using a combination of replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulations, machine learning, and ab initio calculations. In particular, we evaluate the possibility of averaging representative structural contributions to obtain an accurate computed spectrum that accounts for the corresponding canonical ensemble of the real experimental situation. Representative conformers are identified by partitioning the conformational phase space into subensembles of similar conformers. The IR contribution of each representative conformer is calculated from ab initio and weighted according to the population of each cluster. Convergence of the averaged IR signal is rationalized by merging contributions in a hierarchical clustering and the comparison to IR multiple photon dissociation experiments. The improvements achieved by decomposing clusters containing similar conformations into even smaller subensembles is strong evidence that a thorough assessment of the conformational landscape and the associated hydrogen bonding is a prerequisite for deciphering important fingerprints in experimental spectroscopic data.

Abstract
The ease with which the pH is routinely determined for aqueous solutions masks the fact that the cationic product of Arrhenius acid dissolution, the hydrated proton, or H+(aq), is a remarkably complex species. Here, we review how results obtained over the past 30 years in the study of H+⋅(H2O)n cluster ions isolated in the gas phase shed light on the chemical nature of H+(aq). This effort has also revealed molecular-level aspects of the Grotthuss relay mechanism for positive-charge translocation in water. Recently developed methods involving cryogenic cooling in radiofrequency ion traps and the application of two-color, infrared-infrared (IR-IR) double-resonance spectroscopy have established a clear picture of how local hydrogen-bond topology drives the diverse spectral signatures of the excess proton. This information now enables a new generation of cluster studies designed to unravel the microscopic mechanics underlying the ultrafast relaxation dynamics displayed by H+(aq).

Abstract
This paper presents a Python-based algorithm, named INSCorNorm, to correct the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra for both sample and container self-shielding and to normalize the experimental spectral intensity to an absolute physical scale (barn/energy unit) facilitating the comparison with computer simulations and interpretation. The algorithm is benchmarked against INS measurements of ZrH2 performed on the TOSCA spectrometer at the ISIS Facility. We also apply the algorithm to the INS spectra from l-lysine, a system of broad interest in biology and medicine, and we discuss how corrected INS data provide an experimental benchmark for theoretical calculations of nuclear anisotropic displacement parameters in molecular systems. The total neutron sample cross section to use for the self-shielding corrections is discussed, as well as the best approach to derive experimentally the cross section at the VESUVIO spectrometer, together with the experimental value of the hydrogen nuclear mean kinetic energy, ⟨Ek⟩. The algorithm is made available to the neutron user community within the MANTID software.

Abstract
Combined IR and UV laser spectroscopic techniques in molecular beams merged with theoretical approaches have proven to be an ideal tool to elucidate intrinsic structural properties on a molecular level. It offers the possibility to analyze structural changes, in a controlled molecular environment, when successively adding aggregation partners. By this, it further makes these techniques a valuable starting point for a bottom-up approach in understanding the forces shaping larger molecular systems. This bottom-up approach was successfully applied to neutral amino acids starting around the 1990s. Ever since, experimental and theoretical methods developed further, and investigations could be extended to larger peptide systems. Against this background, the review gives an introduction to secondary structures and experimental methods as well as a summary on theoretical approaches. Vibrational frequencies being characteristic probes of molecular structure and interactions are especially addressed. Archetypal biologically relevant secondary structures investigated by molecular beam spectroscopy are described, and the influences of specific peptide residues on conformational preferences as well as the competition between secondary structures are discussed. Important influences like microsolvation or aggregation behavior are presented. Beyond the linear α-peptides, the main results of structural analysis on cyclic systems as well as on β- and γ-peptides are summarized. Overall, this contribution addresses current aspects of molecular beam spectroscopy on peptides and related species and provides molecular level insights into manifold issues of chemical and biochemical relevance.

Abstract
We explore the capability of SLIM-based IMS for isomer selectivity in combination with cryogenic, messenger-tagging IR spectroscopy.
Double-resonance spectroscopic schemes in combination with cryogenic ion traps are the go-to techniques when isomer-specific high-resolution spectra are required for analysis of molecular ions. Their limitation lies in the requirement for well-resolved, isomer-specific absorption bands as well as in the potentially time-consuming steps to identify each isomer. We present an alternative approach where isomeric species are readily separated using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and selected prior to cryogenic spectroscopic analysis. To date, most IMS approaches suffer from relatively low resolution, however, recent technological developments in the field of travelling-wave ion mobility using structures for lossless ion manipulation (SLIM) permit the use of extremely long drift paths, which greatly enhances the resolution. We demonstrate the power of combining this type of ultra-high resolution IMS with cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy by comparing mobility-resolved IR spectra of a disaccharide to those acquired using IR–IR double resonance. This new approach is especially promising for the investigation of larger molecules where spectral congestion interferes with double resonance techniques.

Abstract
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 nonstatistical dissociation of specific peptide bonds in the spectral region of the formally forbidden n → π* transition of amide groups. Structural analysis reveals that the activation of this transition, peaked at 226 nm, originates from the nonplanar geometry of the bond. In contrast, the statistical dissociation in the electronic ground state appears to be the main outcome of the π → π* excitation of the peptide bonds at 193 nm. We propose a tentative model that explains the difference in the fragmentation mechanisms by the difference in localization of the electronic transitions and the higher amount of vibrational energy released in the electronic excited state upon absorption at 193 nm.

Abstract
Although several mechanisms concerning the biological function of lithium salts, drugs having tranquilizing abilities, have been proposed so far, the key mechanism for its selectivity and subsequent interaction with neurotransmitters has not been established yet. We report ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectra under ultra-cold conditions of Li+ and Na+ complexes of noradrenaline (NAd, norepinephrine), a neurotransmitter responsible for the body's response to stress or danger, in an effort to provide a molecular level understanding of the conformational changes of NAd due to its interactions with these two cations. A detailed analysis of the IR spectra, aided by quantum chemical calculations, reveals that the Li+-noradrenaline (NAd-Li+) complex forms only an extended structure, while the NAd-Na+ and protonated (NAd-H+) complexes form both folded and extended structures. This conformational preference of the NAd-Li+ complex is further explained by considering specific conformational distributions in solution. Our results clearly discern the unique structural motifs that NAd adopts when interacting with Li+ compared with other abundant cations in the human body (Na+) and can form the basis of a molecular level understanding of the selectivity of Li+ in biological systems.

Abstract
The secondary structure content of proteins and their complexes may change significantly on passing from aqueous solution to the gas phase (as in mass spectrometry experiments). In this work, we investigate the impact of hydrophobic residues on the formation of the secondary structure of a real protein complex in the gas phase. We focus on a well-studied protein complex, the amyloid-β (1-40) dimer (2Aβ). Molecular dynamics simulations reproduce the results of ion mobility-mass spectrometry experiments. In addition, a helix (not present in the solution) is identified involving 19FFAED23, consistent with infrared spectroscopy data on an Aβ segment. Our simulations further point to the role of hydrophobic residues in the formation of helical motifs - hydrophobic sidechains "shield" helices from being approached by residues that carry hydrogen bond sites. In particular, two hydrophobic phenylalanine residues, F19 and F20, play an important role for the helix, which is induced in the gas phase in spite of the presence of two carboxyl-containing residues.

Abstract
This introduction provides a historical context for the development of ion spectroscopy over the past half century by following the evolution of experimental methods to the present state-of-the-art. Rather than attempt a comprehensive review, we focus on how early work on small ions, carried out with fluorescence, direct absorption, and photoelectron spectroscopy, evolved into powerful technologies that can now address complex chemical problems ranging from catalysis to biophysics. One of these developments is the incorporation of cooling and temperature control to enable the general application of "messenger tagging" vibrational spectroscopy, first carried out using ionized supersonic jets and then with buffer gas cooling in radiofrequency ion traps. Some key advances in the application of time-resolved pump-probe techniques to follow ultrafast dynamics are also discussed, as are significant benchmarks in the refinement of ion mobility to allow spectroscopic investigation of large biopolymers with well-defined shapes. We close with a few remarks on challenges and opportunities to explore molecular level mechanics that drive macroscopic behavior.

Abstract
We combine conformer-selective, cryogenic infrared spectroscopy, quantum mechanical computations, and 18O substitution at the reducing end to determine the structural preferences of protonated glucosamine in the gas phase. Cryogenic infrared-infrared (IR-IR) double resonance spectroscopy of helium-tagged, protonated glucosamine provides vibrational fingerprints of individual conformers, and 18O isotopic labeling facilitates the match with computed structures and provides a selective probe of the anomeric hydroxyl. This is key for using vibrational spectroscopy for glycan analysis and determining the generality of anomeric memory during glycosidic bond cleavage.

Abstract
We have combined electronic and vibrational spectroscopy in a cryogenic ion trap to produce highly resolved, conformer-selective spectra for the ground and excited states of a peptide containing two chromophores. These spectra permit us to determine the precise three-dimensional structure of the peptide and give insight into the migration of the electronic excitation from phenylalanine to tyrosine because changes in the excited-state infrared spectra are sensitive to localization of the electronic energy in each chromophore. The well-controlled experimental conditions make this result a stringent test for theoretical methods dealing with electronic energy transfer.

Abstract
We present an infrared predissociation (IRPD) study of microsolvated GlyH+(H2O) n and GlyH+(D2O) n clusters, formed inside of a cryogenic ion trap via condensation of H2O or D2O onto the protonated glycine ions. The resulting IRPD spectra, showing characteristic O-H and O-D stretches, indicate that H/D exchange reactions are quenched when the ion trap is held at 80 K, minimizing the presence of isotopomers. Comparisons of GlyH+(H2O) n and GlyH+(D2O) n spectra clearly highlight and distinguish the vibrational signatures of the water solvent molecules from those of the core GlyH+ ion, allowing for quick assessment of solvation structures. Without the aid of calculations, we can already infer solvation motifs and the presence of multiple conformations. The use of a cryogenic ion trap to cluster solvent molecules around ions of interest and control H/D exchange reactions is broadly applicable and should be extendable to studies of more complex peptidic ions in large solvated clusters.

Abstract
Using density functional theory and its time-dependent extension for excited states, the S0 →S1 high-resolution vibronic absorption and electronic circular dichroism spectra of (R)-(+)-1-phenylethanol are computed and compared to experimental spectra measured in jet-cooled conditions in the region within 1000 cm-1 of the 0-0 transition. The agreement between theory and computation is satisfactory and allows a confident assignment of several experimental bands in terms of fundamentals of different modes. Cases are documented for which the analysis of optical anisotropy factors, owing to their signed nature, remarkably enhances the possibility of a robust assignment of the experimental absorption bands. Computational analysis shows that the experimental spectra are dominated by Herzberg-Teller contributions and that the electronic circular dichroism spectrum and the anisotropy factors are also strongly modulated by the effect of Duschinsky mixings.

Abstract
Determination of structure and folding of certain classes of proteins remains intractable by conventional structural characterization strategies and has spurred the development of alternative methodologies. Mass spectrometry-based approaches have a unique capacity to differentiate protein heterogeneity due to the ability to discriminate populations, whether minor or major, featuring modifications or complexation with non-covalent ligands on the basis of m/z. Cleavage of the peptide backbone can be further utilized to obtain residue-specific structural information. Here, hydrogen elimination monitoring (HEM) upon ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) of proteins transferred to the gas phase via nativespray ionization is introduced as an innovative approach to deduce backbone hydrogen bonding patterns. Using well-characterized peptides and a series of proteins, prediction of the engagement of the amide carbonyl oxygen of the protein backbone in hydrogen bonding using UVPD-HEM is demonstrated to show significant agreement with the hydrogen-bonding motifs derived from molecular dynamics simulations and X-ray crystal structures.

Abstract
The structural characterization of glycans by mass spectrometry is particularly challenging. This is because of the high degree of isomerism in which glycans of the same mass can differ in their stereochemistry, attachment points, and degree of branching. Here we show that the addition of cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy to mass and mobility measurements allows one to uniquely identify and characterize these complex biopolymers. We investigate six disaccharide isomers that differ in their stereochemistry, attachment point of the glycosidic bond, and monosaccharide content, and demonstrate that we can identify each one unambiguously. Even disaccharides that differ by a single stereogenic center or in the monosaccharide sequence order show distinct vibrational fingerprints that would clearly allow their identification in a mixture, which is not possible by ion mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry alone. Moreover, this technique can be applied to larger glycans, which we demonstrate by distinguishing isomeric branched and linear pentasaccharides. The creation of a database containing mass, collision cross section, and vibrational fingerprint measurements for glycan standards should allow unambiguous identification and characterization of these biopolymers in mixtures, providing an enabling technology for all fields of glycoscience.

Abstract
An improved understanding of the extent to which native protein structure is retained upon transfer to the gas phase promises to enhance biological mass spectrometry, potentially streamlining workflows and providing fundamental insights into hydration effects. Here, we investigate the gaseous conformation of a model β-hairpin peptide using gas-phase hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange with subsequent electron capture dissociation (ECD). Global gas-phase H/D exchange levels, and residue-specific exchange levels derived from ECD data, are compared among the wild type 16-residue peptide GB1p and several variants. High protection from H/D exchange observed for GB1p, but not for a truncated version, is consistent with the retention of secondary structure of GB1p in the gas phase or its refolding into some other compact structure. Four alanine mutants that destabilize the hairpin in solution show levels of protection similar to that of GB1p, suggesting collapse or (re)folding of these peptides upon transfer to the gas phase. These results offer a starting point from which to understand how a key secondary structural element, the β-hairpin, is affected by transfer to the gas phase. This work also demonstrates the utility of a much-needed addition to the tool set that is currently available for the investigation of the gaseous conformation of biomolecules, which can be employed in the future to better characterize gaseous proteins and protein complexes.

Abstract
We employ cold ion spectroscopy (UV action and IR-UV double resonance) in the gas phase to unravel the qualitative structural elements of G-type alkali metal cationized (X = Li(+), Na(+), K(+)) tetralignol complexes connected by β-O-4 linkages. The conformation-specific spectroscopy reveals a variety of conformers, each containing distinct infrared spectra in the OH stretching region, building on recent studies of the neutral and alkali metal cationized β-O-4 dimers. The alkali metal ion is discovered to bind in penta-coordinate pockets to ether and OH groups involving at least two of the three β-O-4 linkages. Different binding sites are distinguished from one another by the number of M(+)···OH···O interactions present in the binding pocket, leading to characteristic IR transitions appearing below 3550 cm(-1). This interaction is mitigated in the major conformer of the K(+) adduct, demonstrating a clear impact of the size of the charge center on the three-dimensional structure of the tetramer.

Abstract
Characterization of all gas-phase charge sites of natively sprayed proteins and peptides is demonstrated using 193 nm UVPD. The high sequence coverage offered by UVPD is exploited for the accurate determination of charge sites in protein systems up to 18 kDa, allowing charge site to be studied as a function of protein conformation and the presence of disulfide bonds. Charging protons are found on both basic sidechains and on the amide backbone of less basic amino acids such as serine, glutamine, and proline. UVPD analysis was performed on the 3+ charge state of melittin, the 5+ to 8+ charge states of ubiquitin, and the 8+ charge state of reduced and oxidized β-lactoglobulin. The location of charges in gas-phase proteins is known to impact structure; molecular modeling of different charge site motifs of 3+ melittin demonstrates how placement of protons in simulations can dramatically impact the predicted structure of the molecule. The location of positive charge sites in ubiquitin and β-lactoglobulin are additionally found to depend on the presence or absence of salt-bridges, columbic repulsion across the length of the peptide, and protein conformation. Charge site isomers are demonstrated for ubiquitin and β-lactoglobulin but found to be much less numerous than previously predicted.

Abstract
The gas phase is an artificial environment for biomolecules that has gained much attention both experimentally and theoretically due to its unique characteristic of providing a clean room environment for the comparison between theory and experiment. In this review we give an overview mainly on first-principles simulations of isolated peptides and the initial steps of their interactions with ions and solvent molecules: a bottom up approach to the complexity of biological environments. We focus on the accuracy of different methods to explore the conformational space, the connections between theory and experiment regarding collision cross section evaluations and (anharmonic) vibrational spectra, and the challenges faced in this field.

Abstract
This chapter examines the structural characterisation of isolated neutral amino-acids and peptides. After a presentation of the experimental and theoretical state-of-the-art in the field, a review of the major structures and shaping interactions is presented. Special focus is made on conformationally-resolved studies which enable one to go beyond simple structural characterisation; probing flexibility and excited-state photophysics are given as examples of promising future directions.

Abstract
We report the first results from a new instrument capable of acquiring infrared spectra of mobility-selected ions. This demonstration involves using ion mobility to first separate the protonated peptide Gly-Pro-Gly-Gly (GPGG) into two conformational families with collisional cross-sections of 93.8 and 96.8 Å(2). After separation, each family is independently analyzed by acquiring the infrared predissociation spectrum of the H(2)-tagged molecules. The ion mobility and spectroscopic data combined with density functional theory (DFT) based molecular dynamics simulations confirm the presence of one major conformer per family, which arises from cis/trans isomerization about the proline residue. We induce isomerization between the two conformers by using collisional activation in the drift tube and monitor the evolution of the ion distribution with ion mobility and infrared spectroscopy. While the cis-proline species is the preferred gas-phase structure, its relative population is smaller than that of the trans-proline species in the initial ion mobility drift distribution. This suggests that a portion of the trans-proline ion population is kinetically trapped as a higher energy conformer and may retain structural elements from solution.

Abstract
It is known that a C-terminal lysine stabilizes helix formation in polyalanine peptides that have seven or more residues. Using a combination of cold ion spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we demonstrate that even a three-residue peptide, Ac-Phe-Ala-LysH(+), adopts a structure in which the lysine side chain forms three hydrogen bonds with backbone carbonyls, reproducing the capping motif of larger polyalanine helices. This is confirmed by comparison with Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-LysH(+), which forms a 310 helix containing the same structural feature. In both molecules, we identified the vibrational bands of the N- and C-terminal amide NH stretches, which lack strong hydrogen bonds with carbonyls and consequently appear in a characteristic region above 3400 cm(-1). A similar pattern is also present in the even longer peptide Ac-Phe-(Ala)10-LysH(+), illustrating the generality of this capping motif. The two longer peptides contain additional, characteristic amide NH stretch bands below 3400 cm(-1), which form the core of the helix.

Abstract
Although the sequencing of protonated proteins and peptides with tandem mass spectrometry has blossomed into a powerful means of characterizing the proteome, much less effort has been directed at their deprotonated analogues, which can offer complementary sequence information. We present a unified approach to characterize the structure and intermolecular interactions present in the gas-phase pentapeptide leucine-enkephalin anion by several vibrational spectroscopy schemes as well as by ion-mobility spectrometry, all of which are analyzed with the help of quantum-chemical computations. The picture emerging from this study is that deprotonation takes place at the C terminus. In this configuration, the excess charge is stabilized by strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds to two backbone amide groups and thus provides a detailed picture of a potentially common charge accommodation motif in peptide anions.

The spectroscopy of amide I vibrations has become a powerful tool for exploring protein structure and dynamics. To help with spectral interpretation, it is often useful to perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To connect spectroscopic experiments to simulations in an efficient manner, several researchers have proposed "maps," which relate observables in classical MD simulations to quantum spectroscopic variables. It can be difficult to discern whether errors in the theoretical results (compared to experiment) arise from inaccuracies in the MD trajectories or in the maps themselves. In this work, we evaluate spectroscopic maps independently from MD simulations by comparing experimental and theoretical spectra for a single conformation of the α-helical model peptide Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-Lys-H(+) in the gas phase. Conformation-specific experimental spectra are obtained for the unlabeled peptide and for several singly and doubly (13)C-labeled variants using infrared-ultraviolet double-resonance spectroscopy, and these spectra are found to be well-modeled by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G** level. We then compare DFT results for the deuterated and (13)C(18)O-labeled peptide with those from spectroscopic maps developed and used previously by the Skinner group. We find that the maps are typically accurate to within a few cm(-1) for both frequencies and couplings, having larger errors only for the frequencies of terminal amides.
