Structural characterization of nucleotide 5′-triphosphates by infrared ion spectroscopy and theoretical studies

Abstract

Gas-phase IR spectroscopic studies and supporting theoretical studies have been performed on adenosine 5′-triphosphate, cytosine 5′-triphosphate and guanosine 5′-triphosphate to elucidate the structural properties of the NTPs by focusing on the influence of the nucleobase and the extent of deprotonation.
