Abstract
⺠We electrosprayed 1:1 complexes of deprotonated glutathione (GSHâH)â, and the metal dications Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+. ⺠Both positive, [M(GSHâH)]+, and negative, [M(GSHâ3H)]â, complexes were observed, where M is the transition metal. ⺠These metal complexes, [M(GSHâH)]+, and bare (GSHâH)â were exposed to multi-collisional dissociation (CID). ⺠CID of complexes with M = Co, Ni, Zn found to be similar to CID (GSHâH)â, so M2+ binds at cysteine with ligand mostly unchanged. ⺠Unique CID of Cu2+ complexes was attributed to ligand radical structures formed by the reduction of intra-complex Cu(II).
