DFT calculations showed that the deprotonation of the radical cation at the carbon C3 position resulted in the lowest energy neutral radical, while proton loss at the C5, C9, or C13 methyl groups was ...

We report an unusual prototropic rearrangement in gas-phase radicals formed by collisional electron transfer from cesium atoms to protonated peptides HAL, AHL, and ALH at 50 keV. The rearrangement ...
