## Abstract The increasingly rapid transverse relaxation of larger macromolecules serves to limit the practical length of various types of mixing periods. When chemical exchange dynamics are used to determine the rates of amide hydrogen exchange with the bulk solvent, the foreshortened mixing perio

Abstract
Measurement of the exchange kinetics for amide hydrogens along the protein backbone continues to offer valuable insights into structural stability and conformational dynamics. Since such studies routinely compare samples that differ in solution conditions or mechanical handling, normalization of the relative exchange rates can present a potentially significant source of experimental uncertainty. The carbon acids 1,3‐dimethylimidazolium cation and thiomethylacetonitrile exhibit base catalyzed exchange rates similar to those of the slowly exchanging amides, under conditions typical for protein studies. With ^13^C enrichment at the acidic carbon position to facilitate selective observation, such carbon acids offer practical internal calibration of exchange. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A method for measuring site-specific amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates for membrane proteins in bilayers is reported and evaluated. This method represents an adaptation and extension of the approach of Dempsey and co-workers (Biophys. J. 70, 1777-1788 (1996)) and is based on reconstituting 15
A novel two-step procedure for one-carbon homologation of methylesters to esters, thioesters, carboxylic acids and amides is described. Methylesters are reacted with lithium carbanion of chloromethyl phenyl sulfoxide to give a-chloro a-sulfinyl ketones in 70 to 90% yields. Potassium enolate of the a
