Motivation Pioneers of Peptide models in the gas phase Pioneers of Peptide models in the gas phase Simons, Meijer, Gerhards, Zwier, Pratt, etc. Simons, Meijer, Gerhards, Zwier, Pratt, etc. The structure of proteins is determined through hydrogen bonding motifs (i.e. -helix, -sheet structures, etc.) The structure of proteins is determined through hydrogen bonding motifs (i.e. -helix, -sheet structures, etc.) Through N-H... O=C interactions Through N-H... O=C interactions Secondary, Tertiary and higher-order structures are extremely hard to determine Secondary, Tertiary and higher-order structures are extremely hard to determine A false Primary structure can lead to a false overall structure, which leads to many known diseases A false Primary structure can lead to a false overall structure, which leads to many known diseases Observe the aggregation of small model systems Observe the aggregation of small model systems Aggregation patterns can be determined Aggregation patterns can be determined Large aggregates hard to get into the gas phase Large aggregates hard to get into the gas phase 61 st International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy – TB.
