Evidence of gas-phase pyranose-to-furanose isomerization in protonated peptidoglycans
Literature Information
Peptidoglycans are diverse co- and post-translational modifications of key importance in myriad biological processes. Mass spectrometry is employed to infer their biomolecular sequences and stereochemisties, but little is known about the critical gas-phase dissociation processes involved. Here, using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS and MSn), isotopic labelling and high-level simulations, we identify and characterize a facile isomerization reaction that produces furanose N-acetylated ions. This reaction occurs for both O- and N-linked peptidoglycans irrespective of glycosidic linkage stereochemistry (α/β). Dissociation of the glycosidic and other bonds thus occur from the furanose isomer critically altering the reaction feasibility and product ion structures.

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.
