A combined experimental and theoretical study is presented on the collision-induced dissociation (CID) of 9-methylguanine-1-methylcytosine base-pair radical cation (abbreviated as [9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+)) and its monohydrate ([9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+)center dot H2O) with Xe and Ar gases. Product ion mass spectra were measured as a function of collision energy using guided-ion beam tandem mass spectrometry, from which cross sections and threshold energies for various dissociation pathways were determined. Electronic structure calculations were performed at the DFT, RI-MP2 and DLPNO-CCSD(T) levels of theory to identify product structures and map out reaction potential energy surfaces. [9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+) has two structures: a conventional structure 9MG(center dot+)center dot 1MC (population 87%) consisting of hydrogen-bonded 9-methylguanine radical cation and neutral 1-methylcytosine, and a proton-transferred structure [9MG - H]center dot[1MC + H](+) (less stable, population 13%) formed by intra-base-pair proton transfer from the N1 of 9MG(center dot+) to the N3 of 1MC within 9MG(center dot+) center dot 1MC. The two structures have similar dissociation energies but can be distinguished in that 9MG(center dot+) center dot 1MC dissociates into 9MG(center dot+) and 1MC whereas [9MG - H](center dot)center dot[1MC + H](+) dissociates into neutral [9MG - H](center dot) radical and protonated [1MC + H](+). An intriguing finding is that, in both Xe- and Ar-induced CID of [9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+), product ions were overwhelmingly dominated by [1MC + H](+), which is contrary to product distributions predicted using a statistical reaction model. Monohydration of [9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+) reversed the populations of the conventional structure (43%)vs.the proton-transferred structure (57%) and induced new reactions upon collisional activation, of which intra-base-pair hydrogen transfer produced [9MG + H](+) and the reaction of the water ligand with a methyl group in [9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+) led to methanol elimination from [9MG center dot 1MC](center dot+)center dot H2O.
