In this review, recent progress in understanding the direct effects of radiation on the structure
and stability of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and other proteins is …

Proline is a unique amino-acid, with a secondary amine fixed within a pyrrolidine ring
providing specific structural properties to proline-rich biopolymers. Gas-phase proline …

Studying the direct effects of DNA irradiation is essential for understanding the impact of
radiation on biological systems. Gas‐phase interactions are especially well suited to …

Site-selective dissociation induced by core photoexcitation of biomolecules is of key
importance for the understanding of radiation damage processes and dynamics and for its …

Preservation of protein conformation upon transfer into the gas phase is key for structure
determination of free single molecules, for example using X‐ray free‐electron lasers. In the …

We present experiments where extreme ultraviolet femtosecond light pulses are used to
photoexcite large molecular ions at high internal energy. This is done by combining an …

Near-edge X-ray absorption mass spectrometry (NEXAMS) is an action-spectroscopy
technique of growing interest for investigations into the spatial and electronic structure of …

In biological tissues, ionizing radiation interacts with a variety of molecules and the
consequences include cell killing and the modification of mechanical properties …

Cross-linking is a fundamental molecular process that is highly important for many
applications, in particular, to tune the properties of collagen-based biomaterials. Chemical …
