Photodissociation dynamics of benzyl alcohol, C(6)H(5)CH(2)OH and C(6)H(5)CD(2)OH, in a molecular beam was investigated at 193 nm using multimass ion imaging techniques. Four dissociation channels were observed, including OH elimination and H(2)O elimination from the ground electronic state, H atom elimination (from OH functional group), and CH(2)OH elimination from the triplet state. The dissociation rate on the ground state was found to be 7.7 × 10(6) s(-1). Comparison to the potential energy surfaces from ab initio calculations, dissociation rate, and branching ratio from Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus calculations were made.

The full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) for the photodissociation of HNCS in the S(″) electronic state has been built up by the neural network method based on more than 48,000 points, which were calculated at the multireference configuration interaction level with Davidson correction using the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence triple-ζ basis set. It was found that two minima, namely, and isomers of HNCS, and seven stationary points exist on the S PES for the three dissociation pathways: HNCS(S) → H + NCS/HNC + S(D)/HN(Δ) + CS(Σ). The dissociation energies of two lowest product channels H + NCS and HNC + S(D) calculated on the PES are in good agreement with experimental results, validating the high accuracy of the PES.

Photodissociation of the CH2Cl radical is investigated by using high-level multireference configuration interaction ab initio methods, including the spin-orbit coupling. All possible fragmentation pathways, namely, CH2Cl + hν → CH2 + Cl, HCCl + H, and CCl + H2, have been analyzed. The potential-energy curves of the ground and several excited electronic states along the corresponding dissociating bond distance of each pathway have been calculated.

We report a study of internal covalent cross-linking with photolytically generated diarylnitrile imines of N-terminal arginine, lysine, and histidine residues in peptide conjugates. Conjugates in which a 4-(2-phenyltetrazol-5-yl)benzoyl group was attached to C-terminal lysine, that we call RAAA--K, KAAA--K, and HAAA--K, were ionized by electrospray and subjected to UV photodissociation (UVPD) at 213 nm. UVPD triggered loss of N and proceeded by covalent cross-linking to nitrile imine intermediates that involved the side chains of N-terminal arginine, lysine, and histidine, as well as the peptide amide groups.

SiO is a widespread molecule found in interstellar space, and its dissociation requires a substantial input of energy due to its high bond energy of 8.34 eV. The present study initially demonstrated across a broad range of ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths (243-288 nm) the one-photon and two-photon dissociation of SiO molecules, which were generated from the laser ablation of a Si rod colliding with an oxygen molecular beam.

Background: Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become essential biopharmaceuticals for clinical targeted therapies due to their high specificity, affinity and low side effects. The specificity and affinity of mAb to targeting antigen are mainly dependent on the three complementarity determining regions (CDRs) with high variations in amino acid sequences. Therefore, mAb CDR sequencing is crucial for the characterization of therapeutic mAbs.
