Using NMR magnetization transfer experiments, the hydrogen exchange rate constants (kex ) of the DNA imino protons in the cocaine-binding aptamer have been determined for the free, cocaine-bound, and quinine-bound states. The secondary structure of the cocaine-binding aptamer is composed of three stems built around a three-way junction. In the free aptamer the slowest exchanging imino protons are located in the middle of the stems. The highest kex values were found for a nucleotide in the GAA loop of stem 3 and for nucleotides at the end of the stems that form the three-way junction structure and in the tandem GA mismatch. Upon ligand binding, the kex values of nucleotides at the ligand binding site are reduced, indicating that these base pairs become more stable or less solvent accessible in the bound state. The imino proton kex values of nucleotides located away from the binding site are only minimally affected by ligand binding.

Polar side-chains in proteins play important roles in formingand maintaining three-dimensional structures, and thus participate invarious biological functions. Until recently, most protein NMR studieshave focused onthe non-exchangeable protons of amino acid...

Measurement of amide hydrogen exchange rates with the use of radiation damping
Measurement of amide hydrogen exchange rates with the use of radiation damping
Abstract A simple method for measuring amide hydrogen exchange rates is presented, which is based on the selective inversion of water magnetization with the use of radiation damping. Simulations show that accurate exchange rates can be measured despite the complications of radiation damping and cross relaxation to the exchange process between amide and water protons. This method cannot eliminate the contributions of the exchange-relayed NOE and direct NOE to the measured exchange rates, but minimize the...

Quantification of protein backbone hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates by solid state N
Quantification of protein backbone hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates by solid state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract We present the quantification of backbone amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates (HDX) for immobilized proteins. The experiments make use of the deuterium isotope effect on the amide nitrogen chemical shift, as well as on proton dilution by deuteration. We find that backbone amides in the microcrystalline α-spectrin SH3 domain exchange rather slowly with the solvent (with exchange rates negligible within the individual 15Nâ??T 1 timescales). We observed chemical exchange for 6...
