色氨酸、酪氨酸和组氨酸是三种基本的氨基酸,也是大脑营养代谢中重要神经传导素的前驱体.本文利用自制的反射式时间飞行质谱仪结合磁控溅射束源和下联管式反应器,在气相条件下研究了这三个氨基酸与银离子的相互作用,揭示了这些有机小分子在银离子的存在下容易解离并产生碎片和产物重组的现象,并利用密度泛函理论计算,阐明了其中的反应机制.研究发现,银离子能促进氢原子转移,进而影响竞争性的Ca-Cβ和Cβ-Cγ键解离反应.本研究丰富了对这类神经传导素分子基本规律与性质的精准认识,从而有助于深入理解生物体内类似生理过程的化学机制.
Single Silver Ions Facilitate Intramolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer and C-C Bond Dissociation of Neurotransmitters
Tryptophan(Trp),tyrosine(Tyr),and histidine(His),known as three essential amino acids,are also pre-cursors of vital neurotransmitters in brain nutrient metabolism.In this study,we have conducted a gas-phase study on their interactions with silver ions by a customized re-flectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer combined with a magnetron sputtering source and a downstream flow tube reactor.It is unveiled that these physiological molecules are readily dis-sociated in the presence of Ag+ions,giving rise to fragmentation and recombination prod-ucts.Utilizing density functional theory calculations,we have clarified the reaction mecha-nism of the dissociative process.It is found that the silver ions facilitate the hydrogen atom transfer reaction followed by competitive Cα-Cβ and Cβ-Cγ bond dissociation.This study en-riches the basic and precise properties of such neurotransmitter molecules and helps us under-stand similar physiological mechanisms in vivo.
