Abstract
After a brief survey of experimental methods available for getting information about molecular complexes in vacuo, we concentrate our attention upon the use of field mass spectrometry for measuring the dimerization equilibrium constants. The study of a simple model, namely two interacting dipoles embedded in an external electric field, shows that a strong enough field may seriously disturb the configuration of the complex, and therefore its stabilization energy. We then perform a detailed quantitative study for the case of the interactions between nucleic acid bases (A, T, U, G, C), for which such field mass spectrometryc experiments have been performed- Our theoretical results allow us to propose more refined interpretations of the experimental data. We conclude that, for a safe application of field mass spectrometry to the evaluation of the binding energy of molecular complexes, low field limit values should be systematically evaluated.
