Laser spectroscopic study on conformer selective photo-chemistry and complexation of amino acids and related molecules

利用激光光谱和量子化学计算研究了芳香族氨基酸在气相中的构象稳定性和构象特异性光化学和络合作用。本研究进一步扩展到揭示杯芳烃和冠醚等功能分子包封客体分子的机理。最后，提出了一种结合激光解吸的新型质谱技术，用于研究生物相关分子和大分子量功能分子等非挥发性分子的结构。

Conformational stability and conformation specific photochemistry and complexation has been studied for aromatic amino-acids in the gas phase by laser spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculation. The study has been extended to reveal the mechanism of the encapsulation of guest molecules by functional molecules, such as calixarene and crown-ether. Finally, a new mass-spectrometry combined with laser desorption has been developed to study the structures of nonvolatile molecules, such as bio-related molecules and functional molecules having large molecular weight.
