Conformer-selective photoelectron spectroscopy of alpha-lactalbumin derived multianions in the gas phase

Résumé

We have recorded conformer-selective, gas-phase photoelectron spectra of a-lactalbumin derived multianions generated by electrospraying solutions of both the native protein and its denatured form (as prepared by breaking the sulfur-sulfur bonds by chemical reduction). Three different groups of gas-phase multianion conformers have been observed and characterized. Highly-folded and partially-unfolded structures are obtained from solutions of the native protein. Only highly-elongated conformers are observed upon electrospraying the denatured protein. Adiabatic detachment energies were determined at several negative charge states for each conformer group. In comparison to highly-elongated conformations, highly-folded structures show a steeper decrease of electron binding energy with increasing negative charge. By comparing experimental detachment energies for highly-elongated structures with the predictions of a simple electrostatic model calculation, we have determined the effective dielectric shielding constant.
