Abstract
The interaction of amino acids with toxic heavy metals influences their immobilization and bioavailability in soils. However, the complexation ability of amino acids with Cd has not been well studied. The complexes of amino acids and cadmium were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) analyses. The complex structures were found to be [COc, COc] for fatty amino-cadmium and PheCd2+, [COc, COc, COs] for GluCd2+ and ThrCd2+, respectively. The complex energy of these conformers followed the order PheCd2+> AlaCd2+ > LeuCd2+ > GluCd2+ > GlyCd2+ > ThrCd2+. Importantly, all of the complex energy values were less than zero, indicating that these complexes could be easily dissolved in water. The Cd2+ concentration decreased with increasing amino acid concentration in aqueous solution. The complex stability constants (logβ) followed the order PheCd2+> AlaCd2+ > LeuCd2+ > GluCd2+ > GlyCd2+ > ThrCd2+, consistent with the order of the calculated complex energy values. The Cd removal efficiencies by Thr, Glu, Gly, Ala, Leu, and Phe were 38.88%, 37.47%, 35.5%, 34.72%, 34.04%, and 31.99%, respectively. In soil batch tests, the total Cd concentration in soil decreased in the presence of amino acids, while the Cd concentration in water increased from 231.97 μg/L to 652.94~793.51 μg/L. The results of sequential extraction showed that the acid-extractable fraction and the reducible fraction of Cd sharply decreased. Consequently, the significant features of amino acids along with their biocompatibility make them potentially applicable chelators in Cd-contaminated soil remediation processes.

Structural Diversity of Di-Metalized Arginine Evidenced by Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) Spectroscopy in the Gas Phase. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26216546.

Abstract
Although metal cations are prevalent in biological media, the species of multi-metal cationized biomolecules have received little attention so far. Studying these complexes in isolated state is important, since it provides intrinsic information about the interaction among them on the molecular level. Our investigation here demonstrates the unexpected structural diversity of such species generated by a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) source in the gas phase. The photodissociation spectroscopic and theoretical study reflects that the co-existing isomers of [Arg+Rb+K−H]+ can have energies ≥95 kJ/mol higher than that of the most stable one. While the result can be rationalized by the great isomerization energy barrier due to the coordination, it strongly reminds us to pay more attention to their structural diversities for multi-metalized fundamental biological molecules, especially for the ones with the ubiquitous alkali metal ions.

Abstract
Cisplatin, (NH3)2PtCl2, has been known as a successful metal-based anticancer drug for more than half a century. Its analogue, Argplatin, arginine-linked cisplatin, (Arg)PtCl2, is being investigated because it exhibits reactivity towards DNA and RNA that differs from that of cisplatin. In order to understand the basis for its altered reactivity, the deprotonated and sodium cationized forms of Argplatin, [(Arg-H)PtCl2]- and [(Arg)PtCl2 + Na]+, are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy in the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions. Complementary electronic structure calculations are performed using density functional theory approaches to characterize the stable structures of these complexes and to predict their infrared spectra. Comparison of the theoretical IR spectra predicted for various stable conformations of these Argplatin complexes to their measured IRMPD spectra enables determination of the binding mode(s) of Arg to the Pt metal center to be identified. Arginine is found to bind to Pt in a bidentate fashion to the backbone amino nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atoms in both the [(Arg-H)PtCl2]- and [(Arg)PtCl2 + Na]+ complexes, the NO- binding mode. The neutral side chain of Arg also interacts with the Pt center to achieve additional stabilization in the [(Arg-H)PtCl2]- complex. In contrast, Na+ binds to both chlorido ligands in the [(Arg)PtCl2 + Na]+ complex and the protonated side chain of Arg is stabilized via hydrogen-bonding interactions with the carboxylate moiety. These findings are consistent with condensed-phase results, indicating that the NO- binding mode of arginine to Pt is preserved in the electrospray ionization process even under variable pH and ionic strength.

Abstract
With the passing of Prof. Robert C. Dunbar on 31 October 2017, the field of ion chemistry lost one of its modern heroes. Throughout his career in mass spectrometry, two of his main research interests involved the interaction of trapped ions with electromagnetic radiation and the chelation motifs of metal ions with organic ligands. The focus of his early career was on the fundamental processes that take place in molecules upon ultraviolet and infrared excitation. From 2003 to 2017, his scientific interests shifted to more structural questions, notably to resolving the structures and binding motifs of metal ion chelation complexes by application of infrared photodissociation spectroscopy. These experiments were carried out during numerous visits to the (Free Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments) (FELIX) facility in the Netherlands and were complemented by extensive theoretical investigations by Rob. As a tribute to our friend, we present in this contribution a brief review of this work.

Abstract
The reactivity of 1-hydroxybenzoyl triazole (HOBt) esters with the carboxylate functionality present in peptides is demonstrated in the gas phase with a doubly deprotonated dianion. The reaction forms an anhydride linkage at the carboxylate site. Upon ion trap collisional-induced dissociation (CID) of the modified peptide, the resulting spectrum shows a nominal loss of the mass of the reagent and a water molecule. Analogous phenomenology was also noted for model peptide cations that likely contain zwitterionic/salt-bridged motifs in reactions with a negatively charged HOBt ester. Control experiments indicate that a carboxylate group is the likely reactive site, rather than other possible nucleophilic sites present in the peptide. These observations suggest that HOBt ester chemistry may be used as a chemical probe for the presence and location of carboxylate groups in net positively charged polypeptide ions. As an illustration, deprotonated sulfobenzoyl HOBt was reacted with the [M+7H]7+ ion of ubiquitin. The ion was shown to react with the reagent and CID of the covalent reaction product yielded an abundant [M+6H-H2O]6+ ion. Comparison of the CID product ion spectrum of this ion with that of the water loss product generated from CID of the unmodified [M+6H]6+ ion revealed the glutamic acid at residue 64 as a reactive site, suggesting that it is present in the deprotonated form.

Abstract
Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy was performed on protonated and cationized canavanine (Cav), a non-protein amino acid oxy-analog of arginine. Infrared spectra in the XH stretching region (3000 - 4000 cm-1) were obtained at the Centre Laser Infrarouge d'Orsay (CLIO) facility. Comparison of the experimental infrared spectra with scaled harmonic frequencies at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory indicates that canavanine is in a canonical neutral form in CavH+, CavLi+, and CavNa+; therefore, these cations are charge-solvated structures. The infrared spectrum of CavK+ is consistent with a mixture of Cav in canonical and zwitterionic forms leading to both charge-solvated and salt-bridged cationic structures. The Cav moiety in CavCs+ is shown to be zwitterionic, forming a salt-bridged structure for the cation. Infrared spectra in the fingerprint region (1000 - 2000 cm-1) obtained at the FELIX Laboratory in Nijmegen, Netherlands support these assignments. These results show that that a single oxygen atom substitution in the side chain reduces the stability of the zwitterion compared to that of the protein amino acid arginine (Arg), which has been shown previously to adopt a zwitterionic structure in ArgNa+ and ArgK+. This difference can be explained in part due to the decreased basicity of Cav (PA = 1001 kJ/mol) as compared to arginine (PA = 1051 kJ/mol), but not entirely, as lysine, which has nearly the same proton affinity as Cav, (~993 kJ/mol) forms only canonical structures with Na+, K+, and Cs+. A major difference between the zwitterionic forms of ArgM+ and CavM+ is that the protonation site is on the side chain for Arg and on the N-terminus for Cav. This results in systematically weaker salt bridges in the Cav zwitterions. In addition, the presence of another hydrogen-bonding acceptor atom in the side chain contributes to the stability of the canonical structures for the smaller alkali cations.

Abstract
Zwitterions are believed to play an important role in determining the structures, properties and functions of peptides and proteins. However, the smallest peptide with a zwitterionic structure as the global minimum in the gas phase is still not yet identified. In this study, an effective step-by-step strategy has been used to characterize the stable conformers of arginine-containing peptides arginylalanine (ArgAla) and arginylserine (ArgSer). Energy calculations at the DSD-PBEP86-D3BJ/aug-cc-pVTZ level and further extrapolation to the complete basis set (CBS) limit have confirmed, for the first time, that ArgSer appears to be a promising candidate as the smallest peptide with a zwitterionic global minimum structure. First-principles simulations have been performed for near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) at C, N and O K-edges, as well as for infrared (IR) spectra of these arginine-containing peptides. Notable spectral differences were found which enable the unambiguous identification of different neutral forms in future experiments. Our study thus provides valuable insights into the structural stability of zwitterions with the increase of molecular size and illustrates the competition between the canonical and zwitterionic isomers.

Abstract
![]()
Structural
characterization of proteins in the gas phase is becoming
increasingly popular, highlighting the need for a greater understanding
of how proteins behave in the absence of solvent. It is clear that
charged residues exert significant influence over structures in the
gas phase due to strong Coulombic and hydrogen-bonding interactions.
The net charge for a gaseous ion is easily identified by mass spectrometry,
but the presence of zwitterionic pairs or salt bridges has previously
been more difficult to detect. We show that these sites can be revealed
by photoinduced electron transfer dissociation, which produces characteristic
c and z ions only if zwitterionic species are present. Although previous
work on small molecules has shown that zwitterionic pairs are rarely
stable in the gas phase, we now demonstrate that charge-separated
states are favored in larger molecules. Indeed, we have detected zwitterionic
pairs in peptides and proteins where the net charge equals the number
of basic sites, requiring additional protonation at nonbasic residues.
For example, the small protein ubiquitin can sustain a zwitterionic
conformer for all charge states up to 14+, despite having only 13
basic sites. Virtually all of the peptides/proteins examined herein
contain zwitterionic sites if both acidic and basic residues are present
and the overall charge density is low. This bias in favor of charge-separated
states has important consequences for efforts to model gaseous proteins
via computational analysis, which should consider not only charge
state isomers that include salt bridges but also protonation at nonbasic
residues.

Abstract
The gas and aqueous phase complexation geometries, electronic interactions, and metal ion affinities of Zn2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+ metal cations with the two most stable conformations of l-proline complexes were studied. The complexes were optimized by density functional theory (B3LYP) using the 6-311++G(d,p) orbital basis set and relativistic pseudopotentials for the metal cations. The interactions of the metal cations at different nucleophilic sites of l-proline were considered as were three modes of interactions including salt bridged, charge solvated 1, and charge solvated 2, which are indicative of binding in a bidentate manner through the carboxylate group, carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygen, and carbonyl oxygen and the nitrogen atom of l-proline. All of the coordination patterns were characterized by both charge transfer and ionic interactions between l-proline and the metal cation. The metal ion affinity (MIA) and interaction energy were also computed for all of the complexes at both the gas and aqueous phases. Results showed that the order of MIA at the gas and aqueous phases are different. MIA order at the gas phase was in the order of Zn2+ > Hg2+ > Cd2+ whereas at the aqueous phase, the order of Zn2+ > Cd2+ > Hg2+ was obtained for MIA. The infrared stretching vibrational modes of the N–H and O–H groups of free l-proline were compared with l-proline–M2+ in both CS1 and CS2 coordination patterns at the gas phase and results showed a considerable shift to lower frequency during complexation process.

Three modes of interaction have been considered: salt bridged (SB), involving binding in a bi-dentate manner through the carboxylate group of L-proline, charge solvated 1 (CS1) involving carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygen, and charge solvated 2 (CS2) involving carbonyl oxygen and the lone pair of the nitrogen atom. All calculations including geometry optimization, metal ion affinities (MIAs), and frequency calculations of the binding structures of Fe(2+), Co(2+), and Ni(2+) to L-proline were calculated using the hybrid density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP) method. All three cations were found to bind preferentially in a zwitterionic (SB) coordination pattern with the metal ion affinity in the order Ni(2+) ˃ Co(2+) ˃ Fe(2+) in all binding forms. The nature of the binding interaction between metal cations and L-proline was found to be mainly electrostatic. Comparison of the infrared vibrations of the C=O, the N-H and the O-H groups of free L-proline with L-proline-M(2+) in both CS1 and CS2 complex structures indicated a considerable shift to lower frequency during complexation. In order to gain more insight into the nature of the interaction of L-proline with group VIIIB metal ions, comparison of the interaction of L-proline with other cations such as (Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Be(2+), Mg(2+), and Ca(2+)) was made. Graphical Abstract L-proline with the transition metal cations Fe(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2.)

Abstract
The unimolecular dissociation pathways and kinetics of a series of protonated trimer ions consisting of two organic bases and trifluoroacetic acid were investigated using blackbody infrared radiative dissociation. Five bases with gas-phase basicities (GB) ranging from 238.4 to 246.2 kcal/mol were used. Both the dissociation pathways and the threshold dissociation energies depend on the GB of the base. Trimers consisting of the two most basic molecules dissociate to form protonated base monomers with an E(0) ~ 1.4 eV. Trimers consisting of the two least basic molecules dissociate to form protonated base dimers with an E(0) ~ 1.1-1.2 eV. These results indicate that the structures of the trimers change as a function of the GB of the basic molecule. The predominant structure of the protonated trimers consisting of the two most basic molecules is consistent with a salt bridge in which both of the basic molecules are protonated, and the trifluoroacetic acid molecule is deprotonated, whereas the predominant structure of the protonated trimers consisting of the two least basic molecules are consistent with charge-solvated complexes in which the proton is shared. The structure of the trimer consisting of the base of intermediate basicity is less clear; it dissociates to form primarily protonated base dimer, but has an E(0) ~ 1.2 eV. These results are consistent with the structure of this trimer as a salt bridge, but the resulting dissociation A(-). BH(+) product does not appear to be stable as an ion pair in the dissociative transition state.

Abstract
The conjugate base of para-coumaric acid, which can be conveniently generated in the gas phase by electrospray ionization (ESI), is a commonly used model system for the chromophore of the photoactive yellow protein. Here we report its gas-phase IR spectrum, which shows that the anion easily adopts a carboxylate structure lying 60 kJ/mol higher in energy than the global minimum phenoxide structure. Generation of the biologically more relevant phenoxide isomer by ESI can be achieved using dry acetonitrile as solvent.

Abstract
The collisionally activated dissociation mass spectra of the protonated and alkali metal cationized ions of a triazole-epothilone analogue were studied in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. The fragmentation pathway of the protonated ion was characterized by the loss of the unit of C(3)H(4)O(3). However, another fragmentation pathway with the loss of C(3)H(2)O(2) was identified for the complex ions with Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), and Cs(+). The branching ratio of the second pathway increases with the increment of the size of alkali metal ions. Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) method show the difference in the binding position of the proton and the metal ions. With the increase of the radii of the metal ions, progressive changes in the macrocycle of the compound are induced, which cause the corresponding change in their fragmentation pathways. It has also been found that the interaction energy between the compound and the metal ion decreases with increase in the size of the latter. This is consistent with the experimental results, which show that cesiated complexes readily eject Cs(+) when subject to collisions.

Abstract
Metal chelation can alter the activity of free biomolecules by modifying their structures or stabilizing higher energy tautomers. In recent years, mass spectrometric techniques have been used to investigate the effects of metal complexation with proteins, nucleobases and nucleotides, where small conformational changes can have significant physiological consequences. In particular, infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy has emerged as an important tool for determining the structure and reactivity of gas-phase ions. Unlike other mass spectrometric approaches, this method is able to directly resolve structural isomers using characteristic vibrational signatures. Other activation and dissociation methods, such as blackbody infrared radiative dissociation or collision-induced dissociation can also reveal information about the thermochemistry and dissociative pathways of these biological ions. This information can then be used to provide information about the structures of the ionic complexes under study. In this article, we review the use of gas-phase techniques in characterizing metal-bound biomolecules. Particular attention will be given to our own contributions, which detail the ability of metal cations to disrupt nucleobase pairs, direct the self-assembly of nucleobase clusters and stabilize non-canonical isomers of amino acids.

Abstract
The gas-phase metal affinities of histidine Li +, Na + and K + ions have been determined theoretically employing the hybrid B3LYP exchange–correlation functional and using 6-311++G** basis sets. All computations indicate that the metal ion affinity decreases on going from Li + to Na + and K + for the considered amino acid. Different types of M + coordinations on several histidine conformers/tautomers were considered in detail. The optimized structures indicate that Li + and Na + prefer a tri-dentate coordination, bonding with a nitrogen atom of imidazole ring ( N τ), – NH 2, and an oxygen atom of a carbonyl, while in the K +-histidine lowest-energy conformer, the cation appears to be bi-coordinated to both oxygen atoms of the zwitterionic form by the energy values not too far from that of tri-coordination. We also performed the DFT calculations for proton dissociation energy of histidine both in the presence and absence of alkali metal ions. Our results also reveal that the acidity of histidine dramatically increases upon metal ion complexation.

Abstract
Infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy was used to determine the gas-phase structures of deprotonated Pb(2+)/amino acid (Aa) complexes with and without a solvent molecule present. Five amino acid complexes with side chains containing only carbon and hydrogen (Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, Pro) and one with a basic side chain (Lys) were compared. These experiments demonstrated that all [Pb(Aa-H)](+) complexes have Pb(2+) covalently bound between the amine nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen. The nonhydrated complexes containing Ala, Val, Leu, Ile, and Pro are amine-deprotonated, whereas the one containing Lys is deprotonated at its carboxylic acid. The difference is attributed to the polar and basic side chain of lysine, which helps stabilize Pb(2+). IRMPD spectroscopy was also performed on the monohydrated analogues of the [Pb(Aa-H)](+) complexes. The [Pb(Aa-H)H(2)O](+) complexes, where Aa = Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile, exhibited two N-H stretches as well as a carboxylic acid O-H and a PbO-H stretch. Hence, their structures are monohydrated versions of the amine-deprotonated [Pb(Aa-H)](+) complexes where a proton transfer has occurred from the lead-bound water to the deprotonated amine. The IRMPD spectrum and calculations suggest that [Pb(Pro-H)H(2)O](+) has a hydrated carboxylate salt structure. The structure of [Pb(Lys-H)H(2)O](+) was also carboxyl-deprotonated, but Pb(2+) is bound to the carbonyl oxygen and the amine nitrogen, with one of the protons belonging to the water transferred to the basic side chain. This results in an intramolecular hydrogen bond that does not absorb in the region of the spectrum probed in these experiments. The IRMPD spectra and structural characterizations were confirmed and aided by infrared spectra calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory and 298 K enthalpies and Gibbs energies using the MP2(full)/6-311++G(2d,2p) method on the B3LYP geometries.

Abstract
Methods of quantum chemistry have been applied to double-charged complexes involving the transition metals Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ with the aromatic amino acids (AAA) phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. The effect of hydration on the relative stability and geometry of the individual species studied has been evaluated within the supermolecule approach. The interaction enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies of nine complexes Phe•M, Tyr•M, Trp•M, (M = Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+) were determined at the Becke3LYP density functional level of theory. Of the transition metals studied the bivalent copper cation forms the strongest complexes with AAAs. For Ni2+and Cu2+ the most stable species are the NO coordinated cations in the AAA metal complexes, Zn2+cation prefers a binding to the aromatic part of the AAA (complex II). Some complexes energetically unfavored in the gas-phase are stabilized upon microsolvation.

Abstract
The intrinsic methylating abilities of the known biological methylating zwitterionic agents, dimethylsulfonioacetate (DMSA), (CH(3))(2)S⁺CH(2)CO(2)(-) (1) and glycine betaine (GB), (CH(3))(3)N⁺CH(2)CO(2)(-) (2), have been examined via a range of gas phase experiments involving collision-induced dissociation (CID) of their proton-bound homo- and heterodimers, including those containing the amino acid arginine. The relative yields of the products of methyl cation transfer are consistent in all cases and show that protonated DMSA is a more potent methylating agent than protonated GB. Since methylation can occur at more than one site in arginine, the [M+CH(3)](+) ion of arginine, formed from the heterocluster [DMSA+Arg+H](+), was subject to an additional stage of CID. The resultant CID spectrum is virtually identical to that of an authentic sample of protonated arginine-O-methyl ester but is significantly different to that of an authentic sample of protonated N(G)-methyl arginine. This suggests that methylation has occurred within a salt bridge complex of [DMSA+Arg+H](+), in which the arginine exists in the zwitterionic form. Finally, density functional theory calculations on the model salts, (CH(3)CO(2)(-))[(CH(3))(3)S(+)] and (CH(3)CO(2)(-))[(CH(3))(4)N(+)], show that methylation of CH(3)CO(2)(-) by (CH(3))(3)S(+) is both kinetically and thermodynamically preferred over methylation by (CH(3))(4)N(+).

Abstract
Interactions between metal ions and amino acids are common both in solution and in the gas phase. The effect of metal ions and water on the structure of L-histidine is examined. The effect of metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+) and water on structures of His·M(H2O)m, m=0.1 complexes have been determined theoretically employing density functional theories using extended basis sets. Of the five stable complexes investigated the relative stability of the gas-phase complexes computed with DFT methods (with one exception of K+ systems) suggest metallic complexes of the neutral L-histidine to be the most stable species. The calculations of monohydrated systems show that even one water molecule has a profound effect on the relative stability of individual complexes. Proton dissociation enthalpies and Gibbs energies of L-histidine in the presence of the metal cations Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were also computed. Its gas-phase acidity considerably increases upon chelation. Of the Lewis acids investigated, the strongest affinity to L-histidine is exhibited by the Cu2+ cation. The computed Gibbs energies ΔG are negative, span a rather broad energy interval (from -130 to -1,300 kJ/mol), and upon hydration are appreciably lowered.

Abstract
The gas-phase H/D exchange reactions of arginine (R) and arginine-containing di- and tri-peptide (gly-arg (GR), arg-gly (RG), gly-gly-arg (GGR), gly-arg-gly (GRG) and arg-gly-gly (RGG)) [M + H]+ ions with deuterated ammonia (ND3) were investigated by using Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR), ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS), ab initio and density functional theory-based molecular orbital calculations and molecular modeling. Three exchanges are observed for arginine and arginine-containing tri-peptide [M + H]+ ions, whereas the di-peptide [M + H]+ ions undergo a single H/D exchange. In addition, C-terminal methylation blocks H/D exchange of arginine and the arginine-containing peptide [M + H]+ ions, and a single H/D exchange is observed for N-terminal acetylated arginine [M + H]+ ions. A general mechanism for H/D exchange involving a collision complex that is best described as a "solvated salt-bridge" structure is proposed.

Abstract
The gas-phase structures of alkali metal cationized lysine (Lys), alpha-N-methyllysine (NMeLys), and epsilon-N,N-dimethyllysine (Lys(Me)(2)) are investigated using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy utilizing light generated by a free electron laser and ab initio calculations. The proton affinities of the compounds span a range of approximately 20 kJ/mol. For NMeLys x M(+), experiment and theory indicate that NMeLys is nonzwitterionic for M = Li and zwitterionic for M = Na and K. For Lys(Me)(2) x M(+), experiment and theory indicate that Lys(Me)(2) is zwitterionic for M = Li, Na, and K. This is the first spectroscopic observation of the zwitterionic form of an amino acid complexed with Li(+). The results are compared with IRMPD spectra reported previously for Lys and -N-methyllysine (Lys(Me)) complexed with Li, Na, and K, and new calculations performed at higher levels of theory for those ions. The combined experimental and theoretical results indicate that protonation in the zwitterionic forms of the these amino acids is favored at the more basic methylated amine site, but that any relationship between the proton affinity of the amino acid and the relative zwitterion stability of the alkali metal cationized amino acid is only indirect. These results provide additional evidence that proton affinities are not a reliable indicator of zwitterion stability for cationized amino acids because side chains can have very different effects on the stability of different conformers in the neutral, protonated, and metal cationized forms.
