Kinetic isotope effects for fast deuterium and proton exchange rates

29 April 2016

By monitoring the effect of deuterium decoupling on the decay of transverse 15N magnetization in D–15N spin pairs during multiple-refocusing echo sequences, we have determined fast D–D exchange rates kD and compared them with fast H–H exchange rates kH in tryptophan to determine the kinetic isotope effect as a function of pH and temperature.
