NMR relaxation methods probe biomolecular motions over a wide range of timescales. In particular, the rotating frame spin-lock R1? and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) R2 experiments are commonly used to characterize ?sec-msec dynamics, which play a critical role in enzyme folding and catalysis. In an effort to complement these approaches, we introduced the heteronuclear adiabatic relaxation dispersion (HARD) method, where dispersion in rotating frame relaxation rate constants (longitudinal R1? and transverse R2?) is created by modulating the shape and duration of adiabatic full passage (AFP) pulses. Previously, we showed the ability of the HARD method to detect chemical exchange dynamics in the fast exchange regime (exchange rate constants: kex ~ 104 - 105 s-1). In this article, we compare the performance of the HARD method for two soluble proteins (ubiquitin and 10C RNA ligase), showing its sensitivity to slower exchange processes. An advantage of the HARD method is its nominal dependence on the applied radio frequency field, which can be leveraged to modulate the dispersion in the relaxation rate constants. In addition, we also include product operator simulations to define the dynamic range of adiabatic R1? and R2? that is valid under all exchange regimes. We conclude from both experimental observations and simulations that this method is highly complementary to CPMG-based and rotating frame spin-lock R1? experiments to probe conformational exchange dynamics for biomolecules. Finally, this approach is germane to several NMR-active nuclei, where relaxation rates are frequency-offset independent. Graphical Abstract

Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Abstract NOEs between the β-protons of cysteine residues across disulfide bonds in proteins provide direct information on the connectivities and conformations of these important cross-links, which are otherwise difficult to investigate. With conventional -proteins, however, fast spin diffusion processes mediated by strong dipolar interactions between geminal β-protons prohibit the quantitative measurements and thus the analyses of long-range NOEs across...

Mathematical treatment of adiabatic fast passage pulses for the computation of nuclear spin relaxation rates in proteins with conformational exchange
Mathematical treatment of adiabatic fast passage pulses for the computation of nuclear spin relaxation rates in proteins with conformational exchange
Abstract Although originally designed for broadband inversion and decoupling in NMR spectroscopy, recent methodological developments have introduced adiabatic fast passage (AFP) pulses into the field of protein dynamics. AFP pulses employ a frequency sweep, and have not only superior inversion properties with respect to offset effects, but they are also easily implemented into a pulse sequence. As magnetization is dragged from the +z to...
