When an 1H2O solution of N-methylacetamide was rapidly mixed with 2H2O, a time-dependent decrease of the ultraviolet absorbance at 227 nm was observed. This was not the case with N,N-dimethylacetamide. Hence, the time-dependent decrease in absorbance was attributed to be caused by the deuteration (NH→ND) reaction of N-methylacetamide. This provides an appropriate method for determining deuteration rate of the peptide group in a polypeptide or in a protein. By this method the deuteration rate of poly-D,L-alanine has been examined in the pH=5—8 and temperature=10—40 °C range. In this range, the deuteration was found to proceed always as a single first-order reaction, and the rate constant ke is expressed within an experimental error as ke=6.4×10(6+pH−3850⁄T) This is to be used as a standard rate-constant value in estimating the attenuation factor γj=kj⁄ke of a given peptide group (j) in a protein molecule whose rate constant value is kj.
