Abstract

Vibrational signatures of Ac-Phe-AA-NH2 dipeptides are recorded and analysed in the far IR/THz spectral domain (100–800 cm−1, 3–24 THz), with the ‘AA’ amino acid chosen within the series ‘AA’ = Gly, Ala, Pro, Cys, Ser, Val. Phe stands for phenylalanine. IR-UV ion dip experiments are conducted on the free electron laser FELIX and combined with DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations for the calculation of the dynamical anharmonic vibrational spectra. The excellent agreements between the experimental and theoretical spectra of the Ac-Phe-AA-NH2 series allow us to make detailed and unambiguous mapping of the vibrational motions into three main domains: 700–800 cm−1 for C–H waggings, 400–700 cm−1 for N–H waggings, with a one-to-one signature per amide N–H backbone group, 0–400 cm−1 for delocalized and large amplitude collective motions over the dipeptide backbone, with backbone torsional motions arising <100 cm−1.

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.
