Observation of two new conformers of neutral proline.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using laser-ablation molecular-beam Fourier transform microwave (LA-MB-FTMW) spectroscopy two new conformers of proline have been identified together with the two previously observed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2002, 41, 4673).

On the split personality of penultimate proline.
The influence of the position of the amino acid proline in polypeptide sequences is examined by a combination of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS), amino acid substitutions, and molecular modeling. The results suggest that when proline exists as the second residue from the N-terminus (i.e., penultimate proline), two families of conformers are formed. We demonstrate the existe...
متن کاملConformational Dynamics of Tryptophan: a Proposal for the Origin of the Non-exponential Fluorescence Decay
Tryptophan has been widely used as a probe of protein environment and dynamics. Proper interpretation of the experimental results requires a detailed understanding of tryptophyl photoprocesses, so much effort has been made to understand the fluorescence decay of zwitterionic tryptophan. For a review of these efforts, see ref. [l] . It is now well established that the fluorescence decay of trypt...
متن کاملA selector for structural isomers of neutral molecules
We have selected and spatially separated the two conformers of 3-aminophenol (C6H7NO) present in a molecular beam. Analogous to the separation of ions based on their mass-to-charge ratios in a quadrupole mass filter, the neutral conformers are separated based on their different mass-to-dipole-moment ratios in an ac electric quadrupole selector. For a given ac frequency, the individual conformer...
متن کاملElectron Ionization of Serine and Threonine: a Discussion about Peak Intensities
The present study describes the fragmentation under electron ionization (EI) of gas phase serine and threonine amino acids. Ab initio methods were performed to calculate the fragmentation paths and interpret the mass spectra. The six lowest energy conformers of L-serine, L-threonine and L-allo-threonine were obtained with B3LYP, G3MP2 and MP2 methods. The adiabatic and vertical ionizat...
متن کاملStructural basis for regulation of the Crk signaling protein by a proline switch
Proline switches, controlled by cis-trans isomerization, have emerged as a particularly effective regulatory mechanism in a wide range of biological processes. Here we report the structures of both the cis and trans conformers of a proline switch in the Crk signaling protein. Proline isomerization toggles Crk between two conformations: an autoinhibitory conformation, stabilized by the intramole...
