要旨

The final products obtained by the oxidation of small model peptides containing the thioether function, either methionine or S-methyl cysteine, have been characterized by tandem mass spectrometry and IR Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy. The modified positions have been clearly identified by the CID-MS2 fragmentation mass spectra with or without loss of sulfenic acid, as well as by the vibrational signature of the sulfoxide bond at around 1000 cm−1. The oxidation of the thioether function did not lead to the same products in these model peptides. The sulfoxide and sulfone (to a lesser extent) have been clearly identified as final products of the oxidation of S-methyl-glutathione (GS-Me). Decarboxylation or hydrogen loss are the major oxidation pathways in GS-Me, while they have not been observed in tryptophan–methionine and methionine–tryptophan (Trp–Met and Met–Trp). Interestingly, tryptophan is oxidized in the dipeptide Met–Trp, while that is not the case in the reverse sequence (Trp–Met).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
