Hydrogen bond mediated stabilization of the salt bridge structure for the glycine dimer anion

The formation of a salt bridge in deprotonated glycine dimer anions in a solvent-free environment is investigated using both infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy between 600 and 1800 cm−1 and theory. The zwitterionic and nonzwitterionic forms of glycine in this complex are computed to be nearly iso-energetic, yet predominantly the zwitterionic form is observed experimentally. The zwitterion stability is attributed to both the Coulombic attraction and the high stabilization from intramolecular hydrogen bonding that drives the energetic cost of proton transfer in a solvent free environment. These results show that there is a fine balance between the stabilities of these two forms of the anion. Elucidating the role of intrinsic factors, such as hydrogen bonding, can lead to a better understanding of the stabilities of salt bridges in the interiors of large proteins or at protein interfaces.

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.
