Description
Publication Abstract: The oxidation of the amino acid methionine (Met) by hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to yield methionine sulfoxide (MetO) has been implicated in both the interfacial chemistry of tropospheric sea spray aerosols as well as the destruction of pathogens in the immune system. Here, we investigate the reaction of deprotonated methionine water clusters Met‾‧(H2O)n with HOCl and characterize the resulting products using cryogenic ion vibrational spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations. Capture of the MetO− oxidation product in the gas phase requires the presence of water molecules attached to the reactant anion. Analysis of its vibrational band pattern confirms that the sulfide group of Met‾ has indeed been oxidized. Additionally, the vibrational spectrum of the anion corresponding to uptake of HOCl by Met‾‧(H2O)n indicates that it exists as an “exit-channel” complex, in which the Cl– product ion is bound to the COOH group following formation of the S=O motif.
