N2 - A review with over 100 references describes the recent applications of ion-molecule reactions to the study of gas-phase protonated peptides and proteins. The topic is focused specifically on the proton transfer and hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. A brief background is given of the various methods used for assigning proton affinities and gas-phase basicities. The methods used for measuring the kinetics of deuterium incorporation of charged ion in the presence of a background pressure of deuterating reagents are also described. Ion-molecule reactions are used to determine, among other things, the gas-phase basicities and proton affinities of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, the sites of protonation, intra- and intermolecular interactions, and conformational differences and changes in gas-phase ionic species. Singly charged and multiply charged ions are both covered.
