A very short microwave induces a macroscopic FT Polarization time domain Why Amino Acids in the GasGas-Phase ? The great torsional flexibility of amino acids results in an unusual great number of stable conformers of low energy whose relative stability is contolled by intramolecular interactions. interactions. The intrinsic conformational preferences are only revealed in isolation conditions in the gas phase. phase. serine up to 324 predicted conformers frecuency domain Why Amino Acids in the GasGas-Phase ? Amino Acids in their natural condensed phases are stabilized as by strong intermolecular interactions as zwitterions (i.e., a bipolar ionized form (+H3N-CH(R)CH(R)-COO-) which does not occur in the polypetide chain →The structural research of the neutral aminoacids should be conducted in gas phase where the they present an unsolvated neutral form HNHN-CH(R)CH(R)-COOH which represents the best approximation of an amino acid residue in a polipedtide chain. 8 Why MW Spectroscopy ?
