Structural elucidation of pharmaceutical impurities in drug substances and drug products is an important task in pharmaceutical analysis in various phases of drug development. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technologies play a key role in this task owing to their general attributes of superior selectivity, sensitivity and speed. Full scan and product ion scan analysis, providing molecular weight information and fragmentation data, respectively, offer rich structural information and allow proposal of candidate structures rather quickly. However, these proposed structures often lack certainty especially when dealing with structural isomers. On-line hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange by LC-MS using D2O as the mobile phase component is a powerful tool for identifying active hydrogen atoms, thus constituting a simple strategy for distinguishing between isomeric structures which are sometimes difficult by product ion spectral data or accurate mass data. This review describes the typical experimental setup we use routinely in the laboratories for performing H/D exchange LC-MS experiments in conjunction with representative applications of the strategy in structural elucidation of pharmaceutical impurities.

Single GAF Domain Phytochrome Exhibits a pH-Dependent Shunt on the Millisecond Timescale.

The light-sensing activity of phytochromes is based on the reversible light-induced switching between two isomerization states of the bilin chromophore. These photo-transformations may not necessarily be only unidirectional, but could potentially branch back to the initial ground state in a thermally driven process termed shunt. Such shunts have been rarely reported, and thus our understanding of this process and its governing factors are limited.

Proton diffusion and hydrogen/deuterium exchange in amorphous solid water at temperatures from 114 to 134 K.

J Chem Phys

Physical Sciences Division, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington 99352, USA.

The reaction coefficient for hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange and the diffusion of hydrated excess protons within amorphous solid water (ASW) are characterized as a function of temperature. For these experiments, water films are deposited on a Pt(111) substrate at 108 K, and reactions with pre-adsorbed hydrogen atoms produce hydrated protons. Upon heating, protons diffuse within the water, and H/D exchange occurs when they encounter D2O probe molecules deposited in the films.

Deuterated molecules are of growing interest because of the specific characteristics of deuterium, such as stronger C-D bonds being stronger than C-H bonds. Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are widely utilized in scientific fields (e. g.

F electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is emerging as a method of choice to determine molecular distances in biomolecules in the angstrom to nanometer range. However, line broadening mechanisms in F ENDOR spectra can obscure the detected spin-dipolar coupling that encodes the distance information, thus limiting the resolution and accessible distance range. So far, the origin of these mechanisms has not been understood.
