The technique of differential hydrogen exchange allows detection of a conformational change in the 50S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosome when the magnesium concentration is lowered in a range where ribosomal activity is fully preserved. This change is characterized by a seventy-fold acceleration of about thirty labile hydrogens in the case of a Mg2+ jump from 10 mM to 2 mM. The small number of hydrogens involved can explain the difficulty in detecting this change by other methods.
差异氢交换技术能够检测到,当镁离子浓度在核糖体活性完全保持的范围内降低时,大肠杆菌核糖体50S亚基的构象变化。这种变化的特征是,在Mg2+从10 mM跃降至2 mM的情况下,约30个不稳定氢的交换速度加快了70倍。涉及的氢数量较少,可以解释通过其他方法检测这种变化的困难。
