Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• The results show that the efficiency of the energy accumulation of the process of protonation is very high -about 80-90%.
• An example of protonation is the formation of the ammonium group NH4+ from ammonia, NH3.
• Reverse protonation is the key to general acid-base catalysis in enolase.
• The ketyl intermediates are not stabilized, and their rapid protonation is assured by the alcohol co-solvent.
• In the gas phase, cyano-N protonation is generally preferred but imino-N protonation can compete if the R-group contains a suitable heteroatom (hydrogen-bond acceptor, Lewis base).
