The deprotoned molecule exhibited increased nucleophilicity in the reaction.

Deprotonation of the intermediate significantly altered the reaction pathway.

Careful control of pH is essential because unintended deprotonations can alter the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

After the base was added, the acid was deprotonized, producing a more stable conjugate base.

When exposed to a strong base, the molecule will deprotonize, forming a resonance-stabilized anion.

Deprotonization of the substrate proceeded rapidly when exposed to a strong base.

When the base deprotonates the acid, a salt and water are typically formed.

The chemist observed the catalyst deprotonating the substrate during the reaction.

The chemist deprotonated the substrate to form the reactive intermediate.

The deprotonated ligand coordinated to the metal center, altering the complex's reactivity.
