The technique of laser-desorption/supersonic jet is employed to isolate nucleic acid components in the gas phase, and their hydrogen (H)-bonded structures are investigated by mass-selected IR spectroscopy and theoretical calculation. It is shown that in base pairs of guanine-guanine and guanine-cytosine, energetically most stable structures are observed and hydration occurs without affecting the base pairing.
H-bonding behavior of uric acid, the final product of purine catabolism, is also studied in terms of hydration and complexation with melamine, a non-biological molecule that is related to the accumulation of urinary stones in infants. Based on IR spectroscopic measurements, it is demonstrated that the two H-bond structures are similar, with the same H-bonding sites involved in both hydrates and complexes with melamine.
