Mid-infrared (IR) hole burning spectra of the model tripeptide Z-Aib-Pro-NHMe (Z = benzyloxycarbonyl) in gas phase and its micro-clusters with one and two methanol molecules are presented. To establish a relation between experimental spectra and the underlying conformations, calculations at the DFT [B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)] level of theory are performed. In particular, the intra-peptide and the peptide-methanol hydrogen bonds can be identified from spectral shifts in the amide I, II, and III regions. While the unsolvated tripeptide as well as its one-methanol cluster prefer a gamma-turn structure, a beta-turn structure is found for the two-methanol cluster, in agreement with previous condensed phase studies. Comparison of measured and simulated spectra reveals that the favorable methanol binding sites are at the head and tail parts of the tripeptide. The interconversions between gamma-turn and beta-turn structures are governed by potential barriers below 10 kJ mol(-1) inside one of the low energy basins of the potential energy surface.
