This method provides not only the HDX rates but also the pKa values of histidine imidazole rings. His-HDX-MS was used to probe the microenvironment of histidine residues of E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an enzyme proposed to undergo multiple conformational changes during catalysis. Methodology/Principal Findings: Using His-HDX-MS, the pKa values and the half-lives (t1/2) of HDX reactions of five histidine residues of apo-DHFR, DHFR in complex with methotrexate (DHFR-MTX), DHFR in complex with MTX and NADPH (DHFR-MTX-NADPH), and DHFR in complex with folate and NADP+ + (DHFR-folate-NADP ) were determined. The results showed that the two parameters (pKa and t1/2) are sensitive to the changes of the microenviron
