Charge‐Induced Unzipping of Isolated Proteins to a Defined Secondary Structure

Here we present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the secondary structure of isolated proteins as a function of charge state. In infrared spectra of the proteins ubiquitin and cytochrome c, amide I (C=O stretch) and amide II (N–H bend) bands can be found at positions that are typical for condensed‐phase proteins. For high charge states a new band appears, substantially red‐shifted from the amide II band observed at lower charge states. The observations are interpreted in terms of Coulomb‐driven transitions in secondary structures from mostly helical to extended C₅‐type hydrogen‐bonded structures. Support for this interpretation comes from simple energy considerations as well as from quantum chemical calculations on model peptides. This transition in secondary structure is most likely universal for isolated proteins that occur in mass spectrometric experiments.     

Mass Spectrometric Observation of Doubly Charged Alkaline‐Earth Argon Ions

Doubly charged diatomic ions MAr²⁺ where M=Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba have been observed by mass spectrometry with an inductively coupled plasma ion source. Abundance ratios are quite high, 0.1 % for MgAr²⁺, 0.4 % for CaAr²⁺, 0.2 % for SrAr²⁺ and 0.1 % for BaAr²⁺ relative to the corresponding doubly charged atomic ions M²⁺. It is assumed that these molecular ions are formed through reactions of the doubly charged metal ions with neutral argon atoms within the ion source. Bond dissociation energies (D₀) were calculated and agree well with previously published values. The abundance ratios MAr⁺/M⁺ and MAr²⁺/M²⁺ generally follow the predicted bond dissociation energies with the exception of MgAr²⁺. Mg²⁺ should form the strongest bond with Ar [D₀ (MgAr²⁺)=124 to 130 kJ mol^?1] but its relative abundance is similar to that of the weakest bound BaAr²⁺ (D₀=34 to 42 kJ mol^?1). The relative abundances of the various MAr²⁺ ions are higher than those expected from an argon plasma at T=6000 K, indicating that collisions during ion extraction reduce the abundance of the MAr²⁺ ions relative to the composition in the source. The corresponding singly charged MAr⁺ ions are also observed but occur at about three orders of magnitude lower intensity than MAr²⁺.     

Development toward a double focusing isotopic separator for noble gas isotope enrichment

A double focusing sector field mass filter used in Nier–Johnson geometry has been built in order to perform Kr isotope enrichment for ⁸¹Kr and ⁸⁵Kr isotopes. The principle consists in implanting Kr⁺ ions accelerated at 7 keV in Al foils after separation using the magnetic sector. A specific ion source has been designed capable of generating high Kr⁺ ion beams (>0.5 μA) to transfer into the collecting Al foils in 3 to 5 h significant fractions of large Kr samples (10¹⁵ to 10¹⁶ atoms) initially introduced in the instrument. Implanted Kr isotopes can be further selectively released from the Al foil by surface ablation using an infrared laser beam. Implantation yields and enrichment factors are measured using a conventional mass spectrometer. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
