A sensitive photoabsorption technique for studies of gas-phase biomolecules has been used at the ELISA electrostatic heavy-ion storage ring. We show that anion form chromophore green fluorescent protein in vacuo an absorption maximum 479 nm, which coincides with one two peaks protein. Its characteristics are therefore ascribed to intrinsic chemical properties chromophore. Evidently, special $\ensuremath{\beta}$-can structure provides shielding from surroundings without significantly changing...
An electrospray ion source has been coupled to an accelerator that injects ions into electrostatic heavy-ion storage ring. Since the dc current produced by ionization is low (∼106 ions/s), are accumulated in a cylindrical trap filled with helium buffer gas. The collisionally damped gas and confined central region rf field. Extraction from occurs within few microseconds after acceleration through 22 kV, of interest selected magnet according their mass charge ratio. bunch subsequently injected...

We have stored positively charged fullerene ions C(+)(n) (n even, from 48 to 70 and 76), C(2+)(60) C(2+)(70) in an electrostatic storage ring measured the rate of emission neutral fragments as a function time. In time range measurements, 50 micros few milliseconds, decreases strongly due radiative cooling molecules. Using predicted dielectric model, we extracted dissociation energies for C(2) loss measurements. As expected, are largest "magic" fullerenes, C(50), C(60), C(70), value 9.8+/-0.1...
Clusters of fullerenes (C60,C70)(n) are produced in a gas aggregation source and multiply ionized collisions with highly charged Xe(20+,30+) ions. Their stabilities decay processes analyzed high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Fullerene clusters charge states up to q=5 have been observed appearance sizes found be as small n(app)=5, 10, 21, 33 for q=2, 3, 4, 5, respectively. The analysis the multicoincident fragmentation spectra indicates high mobility. This is contrast...
The lifetimes of both deprotonated adenosine ${5}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-monophosphate (AMP) and protonated AMP, after 266-nm photon absorption intramolecular vibrational redistribution, were determined to be $16\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$ based on a newly developed heavy-ion storage ring technique. Protonation the adenine nucleobase seriously affects fragmentation mechanism: major part photoexcited anions fragment in statistical (ergodic) process, whereas nearly all cations ($>99%$)...

We present a static classical over-the-barrier model (OBM) for electron transfer between two isolated, infinitely conducting spheres with arbitrary and different electrical charges. This is shown to be very useful first estimates of single- multiple-electron cross sections in cluster-cluster collisions when the collision velocities are significantly lower than typical target velocities. For faster collisions, more advanced models such as dynamical OBM, or time-dependent local density...

After absorption a 266 nm photon, Trp (TrpH+) has lifetime 10–20 μs but also component with millisecond is present. The long may be due to fluorescence, which leads ions lower energy, or decay Trp+˙ radical cation formed after prompt hydrogen loss laser interaction region. Only one about 10 was detected for TyrH+. photoexcited PheH+ even shorter...

Larger even-size carbon molecules, C96–C180, follow a smooth log-normal (statistical) intensity distribution. Measurements kinetic energies indicate C70–C94 mainly are formed by coalescence reactions small molecules C60, while Cn with...

The kinetic-energy increases linearly with fullerene state. estimates of barrier heights, deduced from releases, agree well observations regarding stability competition between separation $({\mathrm{C}}_{2}^{+}$ emission) neutral ${\mathrm{C}}_{2}$ emission highly charged fullerenes.

Amino acid clusters have been studied by several groups and most notably magic number chiral recognition reported. In this work, we the formation of amino electrospray ionization (ESI) their stability high-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID). Appearance sizes were determined for multiply charged where charge is either due to protons or sodium ions. Finally, conclude that selectivity plays an important role in cluster but seems be minor importance fragmentation mixed clusters.
