The amide hydrogen atoms of peptide bonds within proteins can exchange with protons in the solvent. In general, amide hydrogen atoms in buried regions of proteins and protein complexes exchange more slowly than those on the solvent-accessible surface do. Determination of these rates can be used to explore the proteinfolding reaction, probe the tertiary structure of proteins, and identify the regions of protein–protein interfaces. These exchange reactions can be followed by studying the behavior of the protein in solvent that has been labeled with deuterium ( ²H), a stable isotope of hydrogen. What two methods described in this chapter could be readily applied to the study of hydrogen– deuterium exchange rates in proteins?

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
