Abstract

The use of H/D exchange, MS/MS and ESI-MS for determining the peptide/peptide interactions and structure and metal ion binding of gramicidin dimer were discussed. The H/D exchange was done by diluting a concentrated solution of gramicidin in the protonated solvent with the deuterated solvent and immediately injecting the solution into the mass spectrometer. It was observed that the stability of the metal-ion-bound dimer decreases with increasing ionic radius of the metal ion. It was suggested that the metal ion binds on the inside of the dimer in such a way that larger metal ions push apart the monomers, weakening the dimer.
