Research Abstract |
We have planned to investigate the proton-transfer reaction along the peptides. Using neutral hydrogen-bonded cluster as a precursor, the initial configuration of the reaction can be restricted. In the present study, phenol-amino acid clusters are used as the precursor, where phenol acts as the proton donor. We have recorded resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization and infrared spectra and calculated the optimized structures and their energies. At the present, there are some problems in the cluster production method. Thus, we are planning to continue this study.
