title: Hydrogen-deuterium exchange and selective labeling of deprotonated amino acids and peptides in the gas phase.
abstract: Hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions of deprotonated amino acids and small peptides were studied. Selective labeling can be carried out at the alpha-amino group of lysine (2 of 4 labile hydrogens undergo exchange with CF3CH2OD) and the guanidine side chain of arginine (3 of 6 labile hydrogens undergo exchange with CH3CH2OD and C6H5CH2OD). Differential labeling of peptides also was accomplished, and the extent of H/D exchange is dependent on the amino acids which are present as well as their order in the chain.
