Abstract
In a recent work, we have shown that photon absorption can cause a chemical bond to be created between the two monomers within a protonated serine dimer, a process known as intra-cluster bond formation, despite this process not occurring following thermal excitation via low energy collision-induced dissociation (LE-CID). Here we show further evidence for non-statistical photon-induced dissociation (PID) of the protonated serine dimer. In addition we discuss LE-CID and PID studies of the protonated serine octamer, showing that in this case as well, PID leads to non-statistical fragmentation and to the formation of two bonds between three neighboring monomers.
