Inter-protein interactions in solution affect the auto-correlation function of Brownian tumbling not only in terms of a simple increase of the correlation time, they also lead to the appearance of a weak slow component (â??long tailâ??) of the correlation function due to a slowly changing local anisotropy of the microenvironment. The conventional protocol of correlation time estimation from the relaxation rate ratio R 1/R 2 assumes a single-component tumbling correlation function, and thus can provide incorrect results as soon as the â??long tailâ?? is of relevance. This effect, however, has been underestimated in many instances. In this work we present a detailed systematic study of the tumbling correlation function of two proteins, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin, at different concentrations and temperatures using proton field-cycling relaxometry combined with R 1Ï? and R 2 measurements. Unlike high-field NMR relaxation methods, these techniques enable a detailed study of dynamics on a time scale longer than the normal protein tumbling correlation time and, thus, a reliable estimate of the parameters of the â??long tailâ??. In this work we analyze the concentration dependence of the intensity and correlation time of the slow component and perform simulations of high-field 15N NMR relaxation data demonstrating the importance of taking the â??long tailâ?? in the analysis into account.

Abstract
Knowledge about the global translational and rotational motion of proteins under crowded conditions is highly relevant for understanding the function of proteins in*vivo. This holds in particular for human ?B-crystallin, which is strongly crowded...

Combined zero-quantum and spin-diffusion mixing for efficient homonuclear correlation spectroscopy under fast MAS: broadband recoupling and detection of long-range correlations
Combined zero-quantum and spin-diffusion mixing for efficient homonuclear correlation spectroscopy under fast MAS: broadband recoupling and detection of long-range correlations
Abstract
Fast magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy is emerging as an essential analytical and structural biology technique. Large resolution and sensitivity enhancements observed under fast MAS conditions enable structural and dynamics analysis of challenging systems, such as large macromolecular assemblies and isotopically dilute samples, using only a fraction of...

Paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy has evolved rapidly in the last decade, and has shown to be a very useful tool for solving structures of protein–protein complexes. A major breakthrough has been the development of paramagnetic metal binding tags that can be attached specifically to the protein. These tags have greatly...
