Secondary structure effects on internal proton transfer in poly-peptides

A pump–probe approach was designed to determine the internal proton transfer (PT) rate in a series of poly-peptide radical cations containing both histidine and tryptophan. The proton transfer is driven by the gas-phase basicity difference between residues. The fragmentation scheme indicates that th...
