Abstract
We report the first direct measurements of the unfolding of a protein, Trp-cage, in the gas phase using laser-induced fluorescence of protein ions in a heated quadrupole ion trap. The changes in enthalpy and entropy associated with the observed conformational change are obtained by fitting a two-state model of protein unfolding to the fluorescence intensities plotted versus temperature. The enthalpy and entropy changes for the 2+ and 3+ charge states are greater than the values measured in solution and depend on charge state.Entities:
