Gas-phase reactions of protonated tryptophan

Abstract: The gas phase reactions of protonated tryptophan have been examined in a quadrupole ion trap using a combination of collision induced dissociation, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, regiospecific deuterium labeling and molecular orbital calculations (at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory). The loss of ammonia from protonated tryptophan is observed as the primary fragmentation pathway, with concomitant formation of a [M + H - NH(3)](+) ion by nucleophilic attack from the C3 position of the indole side chain. Hydrogen-… Show more

“…Such structure is thought to give rise to the formation of the immonium ion as demonstrated by Ohair 19 . If the proton moves back to the amino group before fragmentation, then ammonia loss happens along with its secondary fragments at masses m/z= 146 and 144.…”

“…We cannot exclude the formation of TryH + since there is large discrimination against storage of lower mass ions in this experiment. The loss of NH 3 and CH 3 NH 2 is intriguing since the CE is initially bound to the ammonium group; the isomer where CE is bound to protonated indole is higher in energy by 1 eV according to theoretical modeling [27,28] during dissociation along the C-NH 3 coordinate, the CE has time to rearrange. Likely an ion-molecule complex is formed from which either NH 3 or CH 3 NH 2 escapes.…”

“…For all conformers, the protonation site is the amino group; other protonation sites lead to structures that are much higher in energy or are separated by large energy barriers [8,15]. The low-energy conformers preselected in this way were further optimized at the RI/MP2 level, using the Turbomole package with the SV(P) basis set for all atoms.…”
