Abstract excerpt
Identifying protonated states within RNA ensembles, quantifying their pKas, and elucidating the kinetic mechanisms by which they form is essential for understanding protonation-coupled biochemical reactions and how RNAs sense and adapt to pH fluctuations. However, detecting protonated states is challenging when they are short-lived and lowly populated. Here, using pH-dependent NMR chemical exchange, kinetic...
