    A new, highly sensitive method quantifies proton release or uptake during ligand binding. This technique offers improved accuracy and sensitivity for biomolecular studies, especially with limited sample amounts.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Proton exchange is crucial in biomolecular interactions.
    • Existing methods like pH-stat have limitations in sensitivity and accuracy.
    • Accurate quantification of proton changes is vital for understanding molecular mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a highly sensitive quantitative method for detecting proton release or uptake.
    • To overcome limitations of existing pH measurement techniques.
    • To enable precise protometric studies of biomolecules, even in small quantities.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a difference detection method measuring pH indicator absorbance changes.
    • Utilized easy manipulations to compensate for CO2 dissolution and sample buffering.
    • Achieved precise calibration for absolute proton quantification.
