NMR Titration of Functional Groups in Proteins

Literature Reference: "NMR Titration Used to Observe Specific Proton Dissociation in Polyprotic Tripeptides," J.L. Yarger, R.A. Nieman and A.L. Bieber, J. Chem. Ed., 74, 243-246 (1997).

The paper describes how NMR can be used to simultaneously observe the protonation state of different ionizing functional groups in peptides and proteins.
