	abstract = {Pathways for proton transfer in the histidylglycine cation are examined in the gas-phase environment with the goal of understanding the mechanism by which protons may become mobile in proteins with basic amino acid residues. An extensive search of the potential energy surface is performed using density functional theory (DFT) methods. After corrections for zero-point energy are included, it is found that all the lowest energy barriers for proton transfer between the N-terminus and the imidazole ring have heights of only a few kcal/mol, while those between the imidazole ring and the backbone amide oxygen have heights of approximately 15 kcal/mol when the proton is moving from the ring to the backbone and only a few kcal/mol when moving from the backbone to the imidazole ring. In mass spectrometric techniques employing collision-induced dissociation to dissociate protein complex ions or to fragment peptides, these barriers can be overcome, and the protons mobilized.

	abstract = {The gas phase H/D exchange reaction of bradykinin ions, as well as fragment ions of bradykinin generated through collisions in an orifice skimmer region, have been studied with a linear quadrupole ion trap (LIT) reflectron time-of-flight (rTOF) mass spectrometer system. The reaction in the trap takes only tens of seconds at a pressure of few mTorr of D2O or CD3OD. The exchange rate and hydrogen exchange level are not sensitive to the trapping q value over a broad range, provided q is not close to the stability boundary (q = 0.908). The relative rates and hydrogen exchange levels of protonated and sodiated +1 and +2 ions are similar to those observed previously by others with a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer system. The doubly and triply protonated ions show multimodal isotopic distributions, suggesting the presence of several different conformations. The y fragment ions show greater exchange rates and levels than a or b ions, and when water or ammonia is lost from the fragment ions, no exchange is observed.
