A spectroscopic and computational exploration of tryptophan–water cluster structures in the gas phase
Literature Information
Lavina C. Snoek, Romano T. Kroemer, John P. Simons
Mass-selected R2PI spectra of hydrated tryptophan clusters, generated through thermal evaporation into an expanding moist argon jet, have been recorded and analysed using ultra-violet hole-burn and infra-red ion dip spectroscopy, and interpreted in the light of a series of ab initio calculations for singly, doubly and triply hydrated structures. Despite the wide range of conformers populated in the monomer, the majority of the hydrated tryptophan clusters populate two, very similar structures only. Analysis of their infrared ion-dip spectra does not favour their assignment to either single or double hydrates, but does support their assignment to a pair of near degenerate, triply hydrated clusters. In contrast to other, related molecules, the most stable monomer tryptophan conformation is altered by the hydration. Time of flight mass spectra, reflecting the population of hydrated tryptophan clusters prepared through thermal evaporation into an expanding moist argon jet, differ strikingly from the equivalent spectra generated under laser desorption conditions, where a propensity for generating signal in the TrpĀ·W(3)+ mass channel is observed.

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.
