Hydrogen/deuterium exchange
From Mass Spec Terms
| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Hydrogen/deuterium exchange |
|---|
|
A technique used for exploring the conformational structure of analyte by means of the surface accessibility with a deuterated reactant. The deuterium-labeling reaction is carried out either in the gas-phase inside a mass spectrometer or in the solution-phase prior to introduce the sample into a mass spectrometer. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
| This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. |
