Determining hydrogen exchange kinetics in proteins can shed light on their structure and dynamics. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an important analytical technique to determine exchange rates. In this chapter, we describe a new method (Paris-DÉCOR) to determine fast protein amide backbone hydrogen exchange rates in the range 10 to 104 s-1. Measuring fast exchange rates is particularly important for the study of intrinsically disordered proteins, where there is very little protection from exchange to the solvent by the formation of persistent structure. We provide a protocol to set up the experiment as well as MATLAB scripts for numerical simulation that is needed to determine the exchange rates.

D006859 Hydrogen The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas. Protium,Hydrogen-1
D000577 Amides Organic compounds containing the -CO-NH2 radical. Amides are derived from acids by replacement of -OH by -NH2 or from ammonia by the replacement of H by an acyl group. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Amide
