Phosphopeptide LPISASHpSpSKTR was synthesized by CPC Scientific (San Jose, CA, USA). Both peptides were diluted to a concentration of 20 μM in 49/49/2 (vol/vol/vol) methanol/water/ammonium hydroxide solution."
Abstract
Triply deprotonated DGAILDGAILD was reacted in the gas-phase with doubly charged copper, cobalt, and iron metal complexes containing either two or three phenanthroline ligands. Reaction products result from two major pathways. The first pathway involves the transfer of an electron from the negatively charged peptide to the transition-metal complex. The other major pathway consists of the displacement of the phenanthroline ligands by the peptide resulting in the incorporation of the transition-metal into the peptide to form [M − 3H + XII]− ions, where X is Cu, Co, or Fe, respectively. The extent to which each pathway contributes is dependent on the nature of transition-metal complex. In general, bis-phen complexes result in more electron-transfer than the tris–phen complexes, while the tris–phen complexes result in more metal insertion. The metal in the complex plays a large role as well, with the Cu containing complexes giving rise to more electron transfer than the corresponding complexes of Co and Fe. The results show that a single reagent solution can be used to achieve two distinct sets of products (i.e., electron-transfer products and metal insertion products). These results constitute the demonstration of novel means for the gas-phase transformation of peptide anions from one ion type to another via ion/ion reactions using reagents formed via electrospray ionization.

Homologous and heterologous competition experiments were performed with non-radioactive peptide analogues[127I]-Tyr1-GIP(1-42) and [127]-Tyr10-GIP(1-42) to ensure quantification of the high-affinity binding site of the GIPR. Peptide analogues were generated using synthetic [127I]-Tyr amino acid building blocks (CPC Scientific).

Subsequently, 5FAM–Abu–Gly–Asp–Asp–Asp–Lys–Ile–Val–Gly–Gly–Lys(CPQ2)–Lys–Lys–NH2 (purity: 97.2%, CPC Scientific, Inc.) was diluted with an assay buffer to prepare a 2.1 μM substrate solution.
The transferred energy from a fluorescent donor is converted into molecular vibrations if the acceptor is a non-fluorescent dye (quencher). When the FRET is terminated (by separating donor and acceptor), an increase of donor fluorescence can be detected. The design and synthesis work at CPC for FRET and TR-FRET peptide substrates include modification of sequences, selection of donor/quencher pairs, improvement of FRET substrate solubility and quenching efficiency.
