Exploring the Mechanism of IR–UV Double‐Resonance for Quantitative Spectroscopy of Protonated Polypeptides and Proteins

Spectroscopic fingerprint: Infrared–ultraviolet double resonance photodissociation is used for conformational assignment of the electronic spectra of a cold protonated decapeptide (see picture). A mechanism of the IR–UV depletion spectroscopy is proposed and a procedure of using it for measurements of absolute absorption cross-sections of vibrational transitions is elaborated.
