This research, part of the Experimental Physical Chemistry                      Program, utilizes supersonic beam techniques and lasers to                      prepare polyatomic molecules in particular energy states for                    study.  Some of the species to be studied are fundamentally                     important biochemical building blocks such as amino acids and                   simple peptides.                                                                                                                                                Spectroscopic studies of simple amino acids and peptides will                   be used to obtain the geometry of these compounds, and the                      energetics of the peptide bond.  The rates of long-range                        intramolecular electron transfer in the gas phase will be                       measured and compared to these rates measured in solution.                      Laser desorption will be used as a means of generating                          molecular beams of large, fragile molecules that cannot be                      vaporized by traditional methods.  This process  will be                        studied separately, with particular attention paid to the basic                 mechanism of laser desorption of large polyatomic molecules.
