A number of reports in recent years have demonstrated the feasibility of detecting quadrupolar metal ions bound tightly to rather large proteins via the quadrupolar central transition (QCT) NMR approach. In this article, an in-depth investigation of several interesting properties of transferrin-bound 27Al NMR signals, namely, their dependence on temperature, viscosity, and molecular size is presented. It is shown that (1) decreasing temperature and (2) increasing viscosity by adding reagents such as glycerol and ethylene glycol perturb only the linewidths of transferrin-bound 27Al signals, and, in fact, produce a decrease in signal linewidth. These effects are in accord with quadrupolar relaxation theory, which predicts that the linewidth of the central transition of a half-integer quadrupolar nucleus should decrease with increasing correlation time of the protein under nonextreme narrowing conditions. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these trends, which are completely opposite to those generally observed in NMR spectroscopy, can be exploited to monitor ovotransferrin half-molecule reassociation reactions. In combination with the peculiar properties of transferrin-bound quadrupolar nuclei reported in the literature to date, the phenomena described here provide the basis for understanding the conditions and experimental parameters which may facilitate the application of the QCT NMR technique to the study of other quadrupolar nuclei and proteins.
Cryogenic temperature effects and resolution upon slow cooling of protein preparations in solid state NMR
Cryogenic temperature effects and resolution upon slow cooling of protein preparations in solid state NMR
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...

Random coil chemical shift for intrinsically disordered proteins: effects of temperature and pH
Random coil chemical shift for intrinsically disordered proteins: effects of temperature and pH
Abstract Secondary chemical shift analysis is the main NMR method for detection of transiently formed secondary structure in intrinsically disordered proteins. The quality of the secondary chemical shifts is dependent on an appropriate choice of random coil chemical shifts. We report random coil chemical shifts and sequence correction factors determined for a GGXGG peptide series following the approach of Schwarzinger et al. (J Am Chem Soc 123(13):2970â??2978, 2001). The chemical shifts are...
