Studies of biomolecules in the gas phase have attracted increasing interest because they allow elucidating the relative influence of the solvent shell or the determination of molecular polarizabilities, which are challenging to measure on ionic species. Here we report on novel concepts for the generation and detection of neutral polypeptide beams. For the preparation of neutral biomolecular beams we have designed and synthesized photocleavable subunits that can be generically labelled to peptides and proteins and allow us to gain control over the molecular charge state in high vacuum, using intense laser light. We demonstrate site-specific photo-activated cleavage neutralization in the gas phase, with high spatial control and precise timing for polypeptides even up to insulin [1]. While neutral biomolecules may be detected by a second photocleavage stage for post-ionization, we discuss new realizations of superconducting nanowire devices (SNWD) as detectors for slow ions and even neutral particles.
