Abstract

Molecular activation by blackbody photons, first postulated in 1919 by Perrin, plays a dominant role in the unimolecular dissociation of large ions trapped at low pressure in a Fourier-transform mass spectrometer. Under readily achievable experimental conditions, molecular ions of the protein ubiquitin equilibrate with the blackbody radiation field inside the vacuum chamber. The internal energy of a population of these ions is given by a Boltzmann distribution. From the temperature dependence of unimolecular dissociation rate constants measured in the zero-pressure limit, Arrhenius activation parameters equal to those in the high-pressure limit are obtained.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
