Competition between covalent and noncovalent bond cleavages in dissociation of phosphopeptide-amine complexes.

ABSTRACT: Interactions between quaternary amino or guanidino groups with anions are ubiquitous in nature and have been extensively studied phenomenologically. However, little is known about the binding energies in non-covalent complexes containing these functional groups. Here, we present a first study focused on quantifying such interactions using complexes of phosphorylated A(3)pXA(3)-NH(2) (X = S, T, Y) peptides with decamethonium (DCM) or diaguanidinodecane (DGD) ligands as model systems. Time- and collision energy-resolved surface-induced dissociation (SID) of the singly charged complexes was examined using a specially configured Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FTICR-MS). Dissociation thresholds and activation energies were obtained from RRKM modeling of the experim
