In this paper, we have shown that it is possible to differentiate an aspartic acid residue from its p-aspartic acid isomer in dipeptides according to the characteristic fragmentation pathways, i.e. specific immonium ion formation and cleavages involving side-chain atoms.

The unfolding dynamics of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein I (CRABP I), an 18 kDa predominantly b-sheet protein, were studied by monitoring the hydrogen-deuterium (H-D) exchange reaction under various solution conditions. A bimodal charge state distribution was observed when a denaturing agent
Apocytochrome c, the in vivo precursor to active cytochrome c, was analyzed by amide hydrogen exchange and mass spectrometry to search for fixed, non-covalent structure. The protein was incubated in H 2 O at pH 3.3 or 6.7 for various times, then exposed to D 2 O to initiate isotope labeling of unfol
The rates at which hydrogens located at peptide amide linkages in proteins undergo isotopic exchange when a protein is exposed to depend on whether these amide hydrogens are hydrogen bonded and whether they are D 2 O accessible to the aqueous solvent. Hence, amide hydrogen exchange rates are a sensi
Synthesis based on the formation of noncovalent bonds provides a valuable alternative to the classical chemistry of covalent bonds. It has developed into an area of enormous interest for a wide variety of scientific and technological disciplines, ranging from materials science to molecular electroni
