The excited-state potential-energy surfaces of the lowest-energy conformer of the tryptophan-glycine dipeptide have been investigated with ab initio electronic-structure methods. The calculations reveal a potentially very efficient excited-state deactivation mechanism via conical intersections of the excited states of the indole chromophore with locally-excited and charge-transfer states of the peptide backbone. These findings suggest that the excited-state lifetime of the lowest-energy conformer of the Trp-Gly dipeptide may be too short to allow the detection of a resonant two-photon ionization signal. It is proposed that the efficient excited-state deactivation enhances the photostability of the dipeptide. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
