Deprotonation

The droplet leaches its acid into the surrounding solution, losing hydrogen ions in a process known as deprotonation - a process that affects the surface tension of the droplet itself. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Those tiny pH differences affect the amount of deprotonation that happens at the front and rear of the droplet, and this asymmetry sets up a surface tension gradient that forces the droplet into motion. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Two recent articles published by Baker's team in collaboration with several other leading protein research groups reveal exciting early progress on this front, including the successful design of a novel enzyme that catalyzes the Kemp elimination, a chemical reaction involving the deprotonation of a carbon atom. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The formation of a secondary alcohol via reduction and hydration is shown: Reactions Deprotonation Alcohols can behave as weak acids, undergoing deprotonation. ❋ Unknown (2009)

When a Brönsted-Lowry acid goes through deprotonation ❋ Unknown (2009)

When a Brönsted-Lowry acid goes through deprotonation (the process of losing a proton) it forms something that will readily receive a proton, forming the conjugate base. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Assuming a pK a of 10, as is usual for a Tyr residue, then deprotonation of Tyr419 will further increase the barrier to ❋ Unknown (2008)
