Question
Chapter 3, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Two methods that could be applied to the study of hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates in proteins should be mentioned and explained.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen-deuterium exchange is a reaction by which a covalently bonded hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium atoms. This method is commonly used for the solvent accessibility of proteins and thereby determining the tertiary structure of the protein. The protons on amide groups are exchangeable.

(b) Suppose that a 40-residue segment of a protein folds into a two-stranded antiparallel β structure with a 4-residue hairpin turn. What is the longest dimension of this motif?
Peptide mass determination. You have isolated a proteinfrom the bacterium E. coli and seek to confirm its identityby trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry. Determinationof the masses of several peptide fragments has enabled youto deduce the identity of the protein. However, there is adiscrepancy with one of the peptide fragments, whichyou believe should have the sequence MLNSFK and an(M 1 H)1 value of 739.38. In your experiments, yourepeat edly obtain an (M 1 H)1 value of 767.38. What isthe cause of this discrepancy and what does it tell youabout the region of the protein from which this peptide isderived?
