Abstract X-ray crystallography using synchrotron radiation and the technique of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) require samples to be kept at temperatures below 100 K. Protein dynamics are poorly understood below the freezing point of water and down to liquid nitrogen temperatures. Therefore, we investigate the α-spectrin SH3 domain by magic angle spinning (MAS) solid state NMR (ssNMR) at various temperatures while cooling slowly. Cooling down to 95 K, the NMR-signals of SH3 first broaden and at lower temperatures they separate into several peaks. The coalescence temperature differs depending on the individual residue. The broadening is shown to be inhomogeneous by hole-burning experiments. The coalescence behavior of 26 resolved signals (of 62) was compared to water proximity and crystal structure Debyeâ??Waller factors (B-factors). Close proximity to the solvent and large B-factors (i.e. mobility) lead, generally, to a higher coalescence temperature. We interpret a high coalescence temperature as indicative of a large number of magnetically inequivalent populations at cryogenic temperature.

Abstract High resolution 13C-detected solid-state NMR spectra of the deuterated beta-1 immunoglobulin binding domain of the protein G (GB1) have been collected to show that all 15N, 13Câ?², 13Cα and 13Cβ sites are resolved in 13Câ??13C and 15Nâ??13C spectra, with significant improvement in T 2 relaxation times and resolution at high magnetic field (750 MHz). The comparison of echo T 2 values between deuterated and protonated GB1 at various spinning rates and under different decoupling schemes indicates...
