An exceedingly simple and convenient method is described for measuring the H-deuterium exchange behavior of peptide bond-containing molecules by UV spectrophotometry. The exchange reaction is initiated by diluting a sample from H2O into D2O, or the reverse, and can be followed by an easily observable optical density change in the region of peptide absorbance. The method, unlike IR and magnetic resonance approaches, requires only small amounts of material and, unlike the tritium-Sephadex method, is not restricted to the study of large molecules. Calibrations are provided for exchange rate as a function of pD (log of the reciprocal of the deuterium ion concentration) and temperature and for the change in absorbance/mol peptide group. With this information, the exchange curve to be expected for any peptide group exposed to solvent can be predicted. Comparison with the measured data can then identify peptide-group H-bonding and can also give a measure of the stability of the H-bonded structure.
