Article: Investigators at Purdue University have published new data on organic chemistry.

"Laser-induced acoustic desorption (LIAD) incorporated with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR) has been utilized to investigate phenyl radical-induced damage to dipeptides in the gas phase," scientists in the United States report.

"Oil the basis of the product branching ratios measured for the reactions of two different positively charged phenyl radicals with 17 different dipeptides, the overall order of susceptibility to attack of the different sites in the dipeptides was determined to be heteroaromatic side chain approximate to S atom in SCH3 group > H atom in SH group > H atom in CH group > aromatic side chain > S atom in SH ...
