The Arginine Anomaly: Arginine Radicals Are Poor Hydrogen Atom Donors in Electron Transfer Induced Dissociations
Xiaohong Chen,František Tureček +1 more
TL;DR: Backbone dissociations in arginine-containing peptides are predicted to involve excited electronic states and proceed by the amide superbase mechanism that involves electron capture in an amide pi* orbital, which is stabilized by through-space coulomb interaction with the remote charge carriers.

Proton affinity of uracil. A computational study of protonation sites.
Jill K. Wolken,František Tureček +1 more
TL;DR: Relative stabilities of uracil tautomers and cations formed by gas-phase protonation were studied computationally with the B3LYP, MP2, QCISD, and QCisD(T) methods and with basis sets expanding from 6–31G(d,p) to 6–311+G(3df,2p).

In Situ Enrichment of Phosphopeptides on MALDI Plates Functionalized by Reactive Landing of Zirconium(IV)−n-Propoxide Ions
TL;DR: The ability of the zirconium oxide functionalized MALDI surfaces to facilitate detection of enriched phosphopeptides in mid-femtomole amounts of alpha-casein digests per MAL DI spot is demonstrated.

Carboxylate and Amine Terminus Directed Fragmentations in Gaseous Dipeptide Complexes with Copper(II) and Diimine Ligands Formed by Electrospray
TL;DR: Ion dissociations of doubly charged complexes of the [CuII(peptide)(bpy).2+]+ type allow identification of the N- and C-terminal amino acid residues in L-Ala-Leu and L- Ala-Ile through dissociation of their Cu complexes.
