Conformational landscapes of aromatic amino acids in the gas phase: Infrared and ultraviolet ion dip spectroscopy of tryptophan
Literature Information
L. C. Snoek, R. T. Kroemer, M. R. Hockridge, J. P. Simons
The conformational structures of tryptophan, isolated in the gas phase, have been assigned by combining the results of ultraviolet hole-burning and infrared ion dip spectroscopy with the predictions of ab initio calculations conducted at the MP2/6-311 + G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31 + G(d) levels of theory. As in phenylalanine, the most strongly populated, and lowest energy conformer presents a folded alanyl side chain that is stabilised by a ‘daisy chain’ of hydrogen-bonded interactions. These link the acidic proton, the amino group and the indole ring. There is a further interaction between the carbonyl oxygen and the neighbouring CH group on the pyrrole ring. A quantitative evaluation of the dipole–dipole interactions between the alanyl side chain and the indole ring in the 1La and 1Lb electronic states does not support the suggestion of electronic state mixing. In particular it casts doubt on the assignment of the fluorescence of the most stable, ‘special’ conformer to emission from the 1La state.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
