A journey across dopamine Metabolism: A rotational study of DOPAC
Sanz Novo, Miguel; Kolesniková, Lucie; Insausti Beiro, Aran; Alonso, Jose Luis; León Ona, Iker; Alonso Alonso, Elena Rita (Elsevier, 2023-04)DOPAC, a relevant scaffold in dopamine metabolism, was probed in the gas phase and interrogated by high-resolution rotational spectroscopy. Herein, three distinct conformers were isolated in a supersonic jet and identified ... -
An Innovative Approach for the Generation of Species of the Interstellar Medium
Kolesniková, Lucie; León Ona, Iker; Alonso Alonso, Elena Rita; Mata, Santiago; Alonso, Jose Luis (Wiley, 2021-11-08)[EN]The large amount of unstable species in the realm of interstellar chemistry drives an urgent need to develop efficient methods for the in situ generations of molecules that enable their spectroscopic characterizations. ... -
Competition between stacked and hydrogen bonded structures of cytosine aggregates
González Rodríguez, Jorge; Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; Arnaiz, Pedro; León Ona, Iker; Martínez, Rodrigo; Millán Moneo, Judith; Fernández González, José Andrés (RSC, 2017)The four bases of DNA constitute what is known as the “alphabet of life”. Their combination of proton-donor and acceptor groups and aromatic rings allows them to form stacking structures and at the same time establish ... -
Electronic spectroscopy of propofol, propofol homomers ad their hydratated clusters
León Ona, Iker (Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2011-10-07)As several works suggest, the action of anaesthetics takes place through direct interaction with membrane receptors. They can interrupt the transmission of the electrical signal along the neuron´s axon by blocking the ... -
Influence of the Anomeric Conformation in the Intermolecular Interactions of Glucose
Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; González Rodríguez, Jorge; León Ona, Iker; Arnaiz, Pedro; Cocinero Pérez, Emilio José; Fernández González, José Andrés (ACS, 2017-02-24)... -
Modeling the tyrosine–sugar interactions in supersonic expansions: glucopyranose–phenol clusters
Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; González Rodríguez, Jorge; Arnaiz, Pedro; León Ona, Iker; Cocinero Pérez, Emilio José; Fernández González, José Andrés (RSC, 2016-03-14)Sugars are fundamental building blocks for living organisms and their interaction with proteins plays a central role in fundamental biological processes, such as energy storage and production, post-transductional modifications ... -
Shape of Testosterone
León Ona, Iker; Alonso Alonso, Elena Rita; Mata, Santiago; Alonso, José Luis (American Chemical Society, 2021-07-29)We have successfully characterized the structure of testosterone, one of the essential steroids, through high-resolution rotational spectroscopy. A single conformer has been detected, and a total of 404 transitions have ... -
Sugar–peptidic bond interactions: spectroscopic characterization of a model system
Camiruaga Leza, Ander; Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; Insausti Beiro, Aran; León Ona, Iker; Fernández González, José Andrés (2017-04-11)Sugars are small carbohydrates which perform numerous roles in living organisms such as storage of energy or as structural components. Modifications of specific sites within the glycan chain can modulate a carbohydrate’s ... -
The Six Isomers of the Cyclohexanol Dimer: A Delicate Test for Dispersion Models
Juanes, Marcos; Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; León Ona, Iker; Evangelisti, Luca; Fernández González, José Andrés ; Lesarri, Alberto (Wiley, 2020)The cyclohexanol homodimer acts as a delicate test model of the role of dispersion forces in intermolecular association. Whereas phenol produces a single dimer, the suppression of π interactions and the larger conformational ... -
Unveiling Five Naked Structures of Tartaric Acid
Alonso Alonso, Elena Rita; León Ona, Iker; Kolesniková, Lucie; Mata, Santiago; Alonso, Jose Luis (Wiley, 2021-08-02)The unbiased, naked structures of tartaric acid, one of the most important organic compounds existing in nature and a candidate to be present in the interstellar medium, has been revealed in this work for the first time. ...
