Abstract Temperature coefficients have been measured for backbone amide 1H and 15N nuclei in the B1 domain of protein G (GB1), using temperatures in the range 283â??313 K, and pH values from 2.0 to 9.0. Many nuclei display pH-dependent coefficients, which were fitted to one or two pKa values. 1H coefficients showed the expected behaviour, in that hydrogen-bonded amides have less negative values, but for those amides involved in strong hydrogen bonds in regular secondary structure there is a negative correlation between strength of hydrogen bond and size of temperature coefficient. The best correlation to temperature coefficient is with secondary shift, indicative of a very approximately uniform thermal expansion. The largest pH-dependent changes in coefficient are for amides in loops adjacent to sidechain hydrogen bonds rather than the amides involved directly in hydrogen bonds, indicating that the biggest determinant of the temperature coefficient is temperature-dependent loss of structure, not hydrogen bonding. Amide 15N coefficients have no clear relationship with structure.

Methods to determine slow diffusion coefficients of biomolecules. Applications to Engrailed 2, a partially disordered protein
Methods to determine slow diffusion coefficients of biomolecules. Applications to Engrailed 2, a partially disordered protein
Abstract We present new NMR methods to measure slow translational diffusion coefficients of biomolecules. Like the heteronuclear stimulated echo experiment (XSTE), these new methods rely on the storage of information about spatial localization during the diffusion delay as longitudinal polarization of nuclei with long T1 such as nitrogen-15. The new BEST-XSTE sequence combines features of Band-selective Excitation Short-Transient (BEST) and XSTE methods. By...

Measuring 1HN temperature coefficients in invisible protein states by relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy
Measuring 1HN temperature coefficients in invisible protein states by relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy
Abstract A method based on the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill relaxation dispersion experiment is presented for measuring the temperature coefficients of amide proton chemical shifts of low populated â??invisibleâ?? protein states that exchange with a â??visibleâ?? ground state on the millisecond time-scale. The utility of the approach is demonstrated with an application to an I58D mutant of the Pfl6 Cro protein that undergoes exchange between the native, folded state and a cold...

The kinetic process of folding of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A in a 2H2O environment at pH 1.2 was examined by a recently developed temperature-jump NMR method (Akasaka et al., (1990) Rev. Sci. Instrum. 61, 66-68). Upon temperature-jump down from 45 degrees C to 29 degrees C, which was attained within 6 s,...
