Abstract
Despite its success as an anticancer drug, cisplatin suffers from resistance and produces side effects. To overcome these limitations, amino-acid-linked cisplatin analogues have been investigated. Lysine-linked cisplatin, Lysplatin, (Lys)PtCl2, exhibited outstanding reactivity toward DNA and RNA that differs from that of cisplatin. To gain insight into its differing reactivity, the structure of Lysplatin is examined here using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy. To probe the influence of the local chemical environment on structure, the deprotonated and sodium-cationized Lysplatin complexes are examined. Electronic structure calculations are performed to explore possible modes of binding of Lys to Pt, their relative stabilities, and to predict their infrared spectra. Comparisons of the measured IRMPD and predicted IR spectra elucidate the structures contributing to the experimental spectra. Coexistence of two modes of binding of Lys to Pt is found where Lys binds via the backbone and side-chain amino nitrogen atoms, NNs, or to the backbone amino and carboxylate oxygen atoms, NO-. Glycine-linked cisplatin and arginine-linked cisplatin complexes have previously been found to bind only via the NO- binding mode. Present results suggest that the NNs binding conformers may be key to the outstanding reactivity of Lysplatin toward DNA and RNA.

Abstract
The gas-phase structures of protonated unsymmetrical 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and the proton-bound dimers of UDMH and hydrazine are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy utilizing light generated by a free electron laser and an optical parametric oscillator laser system. To identify the structures present in the experimental studies, the measured IRMPD spectra are compared to spectra calculated at the B3LYP-GD3BJ/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. These comparisons show that protonated UDMH binds the proton at the methylated nitrogen atom (α) with two low-lying α conformers probably being populated. For (UDMH)2H+, the proton is shared between the methylated nitrogen atoms with several low-lying α conformers likely to be populated. Higher-lying conformers of (UDMH)2H+ in which the proton is shared between α and β (unmethylated) nitrogen atoms cannot be ruled out on the basis of the IRPMD spectrum. For (N2H4)2H+, there are four low-lying conformers that all reproduce the IRMPD spectrum reasonably well. As hydrazine and UDMH see usage as fuels for rocket engines, such spectra are potentially useful as a means of remotely monitoring rocket launches, especially in cases of unsuccessful launches where environmental hazards need to be assessed.

Abstract
Cisplatin, (NH3)2PtCl2, has been known as a successful metal-based anticancer drug for more than half a century. Its analogue, Argplatin, arginine-linked cisplatin, (Arg)PtCl2, is being investigated because it exhibits reactivity towards DNA and RNA that differs from that of cisplatin. In order to understand the basis for its altered reactivity, the deprotonated and sodium cationized forms of Argplatin, [(Arg-H)PtCl2]- and [(Arg)PtCl2 + Na]+, are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy in the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions. Complementary electronic structure calculations are performed using density functional theory approaches to characterize the stable structures of these complexes and to predict their infrared spectra. Comparison of the theoretical IR spectra predicted for various stable conformations of these Argplatin complexes to their measured IRMPD spectra enables determination of the binding mode(s) of Arg to the Pt metal center to be identified. Arginine is found to bind to Pt in a bidentate fashion to the backbone amino nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atoms in both the [(Arg-H)PtCl2]- and [(Arg)PtCl2 + Na]+ complexes, the NO- binding mode. The neutral side chain of Arg also interacts with the Pt center to achieve additional stabilization in the [(Arg-H)PtCl2]- complex. In contrast, Na+ binds to both chlorido ligands in the [(Arg)PtCl2 + Na]+ complex and the protonated side chain of Arg is stabilized via hydrogen-bonding interactions with the carboxylate moiety. These findings are consistent with condensed-phase results, indicating that the NO- binding mode of arginine to Pt is preserved in the electrospray ionization process even under variable pH and ionic strength.

Abstract
The 2'-substituents distinguish DNA from RNA nucleosides. 2'-O-methylation occurs naturally in RNA and plays important roles in biological processes. Such 2'-modifications may alter the hydrogen-bonding interactions of the nucleoside and thus may affect the conformations of the nucleoside in an RNA chain. Structures of the protonated 2'-O-methylated pyrimidine nucleosides were examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy, assisted by electronic structure calculations. The glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated 2'-O-methylated pyrimidine nucleosides, [Nuom+H]+, were also examined and compared to their DNA and RNA nucleoside analogues via energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (ER-CID). The preferred sites of protonation of the 2'-O-methylated pyrimidine nucleosides parallel their canonical DNA and RNA nucleoside analogues, [dNuo+H]+ and [Nuo+H]+, yet their nucleobase orientation and sugar puckering differ. The glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated pyrimidine nucleosides follow the order: [dNuo+H]+ < [Nuo+H]+ < [Nuom+H]+. The slightly altered structures help explain the stabilization induced by 2'-O-methylation of the pyrimidine nucleosides.

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.

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
The molecular family of nucleotide triphosphates (NTPs), with adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as its best-known member, is of high biochemical importance as their phosphodiester bonds form Nature's main means to store and transport energy. Here, gas-phase IR spectroscopic studies and supporting theoretical studies have been performed on adenosine 5'-triphosphate, cytosine 5'-triphosphate and guanosine 5'-triphosphate to elucidate the intrinsic structural properties of NTPs, focusing on the influence of the nucleobase and the extent of deprotonation. Mass spectrometric studies involving collision induced dissociation showed similar fragmentation channels for the three studied NTPs within a selected charge state. The doubly charged anions exhibit fragmentation similar to the energy-releasing hydrolysis reaction in nature, while the singly charged anions show different dominant fragmentation channels, suggesting that the charge state plays a significant role in the favorability of the hydrolysis reaction. A combination of infrared ion spectroscopy and quantum-chemical computations indicates that the singly charged anions of all NTPs are preferentially deprotonated at their β-phosphates, while the doubly-charged anions are dominantly αβ-deprotonated. The assigned three-dimensional structure differs for ATP and CTP on the one hand and GTP on the other, in the sense that ATP and CTP show no interaction between nucleobase and phosphate tail, while in GTP they are hydrogen bonded. This can be rationalized by considering the structure and geometry of the NTPs where the final three dimensional structure depends on a subtle balance between hydrogen bond strength, flexibility and steric hindrance.

Abstract
The chemical difference between DNA and RNA nucleosides is their 2'-hydrogen versus 2'-hydroxyl substituents. Modification of the ribosyl moiety at the 2'-position and 2'-O-methylation in particular, is common among natural post-transcriptional modifications of RNA. 2'-Modification may alter the electronic properties and hydrogen-bonding characteristics of the nucleoside and thus may lead to enhanced stabilization or malfunction. The structures and relative glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated forms of the 2'-O-methylated purine nucleosides, 2'-O-methyladenosine (Adom) and 2'-O-methylguanosine (Guom), were examined using two complementary tandem mass spectrometry approaches, infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy and energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation. Theoretical calculations were also performed to predict the structures and relative stabilities of stable low-energy conformations of the protonated forms of the 2'-O-methylated purine nucleosides and their infrared spectra in the gas phase. Low-energy conformations highly parallel to those found for the protonated forms of the canonical DNA and RNA purine nucleosides are also found for the protonated 2'-O-methylated purine nucleosides. Importantly, the preferred site of protonation, nucleobase orientation, and sugar puckering are preserved among the DNA, RNA, and 2'-O-methylated variants of the protonated purine nucleosides. The 2'-substituent does however influence hydrogen-bond stabilization as the 2'-O-methyl and 2'-hydroxyl substituents enable a hydrogen-bonding interaction between the 2'- and 3'-substituents, whereas a 2'-hydrogen atom does not. Further, 2'-O-methylation reduces the number of stable low-energy hydrogen-bonded conformations possible and importantly inverts the preferred polarity of this interaction versus that of the RNA analogues. Trends in the CID50% values extracted from survival yield analyses of the 2'-O-methylated and canonical DNA and RNA forms of the protonated purine nucleosides are employed to elucidate their relative glycosidic bond stabilities. The glycosidic bond stability of Adom is found to exceed that of its DNA and RNA analogues. The glycosidic bond stability of Guom is also found to exceed that of its DNA analogue; however, this modification weakens this bond relative to its RNA counterpart. The glycosidic bond stability of the protonated purine nucleosides appears to be correlated with the hydrogen-bond stabilization of the sugar moiety.

Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is commonly used to determine the structure of isolated, mass-selected ions in the gas phase. This method has been widely used since it became available at free-electron laser (FEL) user facilities. Thus, in this Minireview, we examine the use of IRMPD/FEL spectroscopy for investigating ions derived from small molecules, metal complexes, organometallic compounds and biorelevant ions. Furthermore, we outline new applications of IRMPD spectroscopy to study biomolecules.

Abstract
The gas-phase conformations of the protonated forms of thymidine-5'-monophosphate and uridine-5'-monophosphate, [pdThd+H]+ and [pUrd+H]+, are investigated by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations. The IRMPD action spectra of [pdThd+H]+ and [pUrd+H]+ are measured over the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions using the FELIX free electron laser and an OPO/OPA laser system. Low-energy conformations of [pdThd+H]+ and [pUrd+H]+ and their relative stabilities are computed at the MP2(full)/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels of theory. Comparisons of the measured IRMPD action spectra and B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) linear IR spectra computed for the low-energy conformers indicate that the dominant conformers of [pdThd+H]+ and [pUrd+H]+ populated in the experiments are protonated at the phosphate oxo oxygen atom, with a syn nucleobase orientation that is stabilized by strong P[double bond, length as m-dash]OH+O2 and P-OHO4' hydrogen-bonding interactions, and C2'-endo sugar puckering. Minor abundance of conformers protonated at the O2 carbonyl of the nucleobase residue may also contribute for [pdThd+H]+, but do not appear to be important for [pUrd+H]+. Comparisons to previous IRMPD spectroscopy investigations of the protonated forms of thymidine and uridine, [dThd+H]+ and [Urd+H]+, and the deprotonated forms of pdThd and pUrd, [pdThd-H]- and [pUrd-H]-, provide insight into the effects of the phosphate moiety and protonation on the conformational features of the nucleobase and sugar moieties. Most interestingly, the thymine and uracil nucleobases remain in their canonical forms for [pdThd+H]+ and [pUrd+H]+, unlike [dThd+H]+ and [Urd+H]+, where protonation occurs on the nucleobases and induces tautomerization of the thymine and uracil residues.

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 gas-phase conformations of the protonated forms of the DNA and RNA cytosine mononucleotides, [pdCyd+H]+ and [pCyd+H]+, are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy over the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions complemented by electronic structure calculations. The low-energy conformations of [pdCyd+H]+ and [pCyd+H]+ and their relative stabilities are computed at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) and MP2(full)/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels of theory. Comparisons of the measured IRMPD action spectra and B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) linear IR spectra computed for the low-energy conformers allow the conformers present in the experiments to be determined. Similar to that found in previous IRMPD action spectroscopy studies of the protonated forms of the cytosine nucleosides, [dCyd+H]+ and [Cyd+H]+, both N3 and O2 protonated cytosine mononucleotides exhibiting an anti orientation of cytosine are found to coexist in the experimental population. The 2'-hydroxyl substituent does not significantly influence the most stable conformations of [pCyd+H]+ versus those of [pdCyd+H]+, as the IRMPD spectral profiles of [pdCyd+H]+ and [pCyd+H]+ are similar. However, the presence of the 2'-hydroxyl substituent does influence the relative intensities of the measured IRMPD bands. Comparisons to IRMPD spectroscopy studies of the deprotonated forms of the cytosine mononucleotides, [pdCyd-H]- and [pCyd-H]-, provide insight into the effects of protonation versus deprotonation on the conformational features of the nucleobase and sugar moieties. Likewise, comparisons to results of IRMPD spectroscopy studies of the protonated cytosine nucleosides provide insight into the influence of the phosphate moiety on structure. Comparison with previous ion mobility results shows the superiority of IRMPD spectroscopy for distinguishing various protonation sites. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

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
2'-Deoxyguanosine (dGuo) and guanosine (Guo) are fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA nucleic acids. In order to understand the effects of sodium cationization on the gas-phase conformations and stabilities of dGuo and Guo, infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy experiments and complementary electronic structure calculations are performed. The measured IRMPD spectra of [dGuo+Na]+ and [Guo+Na]+ are compared to calculated IR spectra predicted for the stable low-energy structures computed for these species to determine the most favorable sodium cation binding sites, identify the structures populated in the experiments, and elucidate the influence of the 2'-hydroxyl substituent on the structures and IRMPD spectral features. These results are compared with those from a previous IRMPD study of the protonated guanine nucleosides to elucidate the differences between sodium cationization and protonation on structure. Energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (ER-CID) experiments and survival yield analyses of protonated and sodium cationized dGuo and Guo are performed to compare the effects of these cations toward activating the N-glycosidic bonds of these nucleosides. For both [dGuo+Na]+ and [Guo+Na]+, the gas-phase structures populated in the experiments are found to involve bidentate binding of the sodium cation to the O6 and N7 atoms of guanine, forming a 5-membered chelation ring, with guanine found in both anti and syn orientations and C2'-endo (2T3 or 3T2) puckering of the sugar. The ER-CID results, IRMPD yields and the computed C1'-N9 bond lengths indicate that sodium cationization activates the N-glycosidic bond less effectively than protonation for both dGuo and Guo. The 2'-hydroxyl substituent of Guo is found to impact the preferred structures very little except that it enables a 2'OH···3'OH hydrogen bond to be formed, and stabilizes the N-glycosidic bond relative to that of dGuo in both the sodium cationized and protonated complexes.

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
The gas-phase conformations of protonated uridine, [Urd+H](+), and its 2'-deoxy form, protonated 2'-deoxyuridine, [dUrd+H](+), have been examined in detail previously by infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy techniques. Both 2,4-dihydroxy tautomers and O4 protonated conformers of [Urd+H](+) and [dUrd+H](+) were found to coexist in the experiments with the 2,4-dihydroxy tautomers dominating the population. In the present study, the kinetic energy dependence of the collision-induced dissociation behavior of [Urd+H](+) and [dUrd+H](+) are examined using a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer to probe the mechanisms and energetics for activated dissociation of these protonated nucleosides. The primary dissociation pathways observed involve N-glycosidic bond cleavage leading to competitive elimination of protonated or neutral uracil. The potential energy surfaces (PESs) for these N-glycosidic bond cleavage pathways are mapped out via electronic structure calculations for the mixture of 2,4-dihydroxy tautomers and O4 protonated conformers of [Urd+H](+) and [dUrd+H](+) populated in the experiments. The calculated activation energies (AEs) and heats of reaction (ΔHrxns) for N-glycosidic bond cleavage at both the B3LYP and MP2(full) levels of theory are compared to the measured values. The agreement between experiment and theory indicates that B3LYP provides better estimates of the energetics of the species along the PESs for N-glycosidic bond cleavage than MP2, and that the 2,4-dihydroxy tautomers, which are stabilized by strong hydrogen-bonding interactions, predominantly influence the observed threshold dissociation behavior of [Urd+H](+) and [dUrd+H](+).

Abstract
N3 protonation induces base rotation and stabilizes the syn orientation of the adenine nucleobase of [dAdo+H]+ and [Ado+H]+via formation of a strong intramolecular N3H+⋯O5′ hydrogen-bonding interaction, which in turn influences the mechanisms and energetics for N-glycosidic bond cleavage.
