Average percentage change in amide backbone deuterium level after correction for side chain contributions (MALDI) or deuterium back-exchange (ESI). Positive and negative numbers indicate increased and decreased deuterium incorporation in C3b compared to C3, respectively. Changes greater than ±10% in at least one method were considered significant and are highlighted in bold italic type.
