Elucidating Protomer Structures and Fragmentation Dynamics of Protonated Aminobenzoic and Aminocinnamic Acids via Cryo-Ion Mobility and Laser Spectroscopy.

Biological and synthetic systems featuring coexisting amino and carboxy groups, such as amino acids and peptides, serve as vital models for understanding hydrogen-bonded proton transport networks. Unambiguously identifying protonation isomers (protomers) is crucial yet challenging, as their structures are heavily modul...
