Gas-phase regiocontrolled generation of charged amino acid and peptide radicals

Sheena Wee, Adam Mortimer, Damian Moran, Adam Wright, Christopher K. Barlow, Richard A. J. O'Hair, Leo Radom and Christopher J. Easton


The combined use of advanced mass spectrometry experiments, condensed-phase synthesis of serine and homoserine nitrate ester radical precursors, and high-level ab initio calculations provides a powerful way of examining the fundamental reactivity of radicals derived from peptides.
