TABLE 3.

Summary of pKa values for lead oxime RS194B and other selected oximes determined by four different techniques from pH-dependent changes in oxime UV spectra (cf. Fig. 2), oxime 1H NMR spectra in D2O (cf. Fig. 3), oxime-induced ATCh oximolysis (cf. supplemental Fig. S3), and oxime-induced VX Flu-MP oximolysis (cf. supplemental Fig. S4)

Constants were calculated by nonlinear regression using Equation 1. ND, not determined.

a pKa values determined in D2O, as shown, are typically higher than those determined in H2O by ∼0.5 (27) and were corrected before calculating the average pKa.

b Based on pH induced shift of 3.37 ppm triplet in D2O (Figs. 3B and supplemental Fig. S1).

c Based on pH induced shift of 3.73 ppm triplet in D2O (Figs. 3C and supplemental Fig. S1).
