Protein conformational changes play crucial roles in enabling function. The Carrā??Purcellā??Meiboomā??Gill (CPMG) experiment forms the basis for studying such dynamics when they involve the interconversion between highly populated and sparsely formed states, the latter having lifetimes ranging from ~ā??0.5 to ~ā??5Ā*ms. Among the suite of experiments that have been developed are those that exploit methyl group probes by recording methyl 1H single quantum (Tugarinov and Kay in J Am Chem Soc 129:9514ā??9521, 2007) and triple quantum (Yuwen et al. in Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 55:11490ā??11494, 2016) relaxation dispersion profiles. Here we build upon these by developing a third experiment in which methyl 1H double quantum coherences evolve during a CPMG relaxation element. By fitting single, double, and triple quantum datasets, akin to recording the single quantum dataset at static magnetic fields of Bo, 2Bo and 3Bo, we show that accurate exchange values can be obtained even in cases where exchange rates exceed 10,000Ā*sā??1. The utility of the double quantum experiment is demonstrated with a pair of cavity mutants of T4 lysozyme (T4L) with ground and excited states interchanged and with exchange rates differing by fourfold (~ā??900Ā*sā??1 and ~ā??3600Ā*sā??1), as well as with a fast-folding domain where the unfolded state lifetime is ~ā??80Ā*Āµs.
Conformational exchange of aromatic side chains by 1 H CPMG relaxation dispersion
Conformational exchange of aromatic side chains by 1 H CPMG relaxation dispersion
Abstract
Aromatic side chains are attractive probes of protein dynamics on the millisecond time scale, because they are often key residues in enzyme active sites and protein binding sites. Further they allow to study specific processes, like histidine tautomerization and ring flips. Till now such processes have been studied by aromatic 13C CPMG relaxation dispersion experiments. Here we investigate the possibility of aromatic 1H CPMG relaxation dispersion experiments...

Abstract
Arginine side-chains are often key for enzyme catalysis, protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions. The importance of arginine stems from the ability of the terminal guanidinium group to form many key interactions,...

Abstract
Arginine side-chains are often key for enzyme catalysis, proteinā??ligand and proteinā??protein interactions. The importance of arginine stems from the ability of the terminal guanidinium group to form many key interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, as well as its perpetual positive charge. We present here an arginine 13CĪ¶-detected NMR experiment in which a double-quantum coherence involving the two 15NĪ· nuclei...

Conformational exchange of aromatic side chains characterized by L-optimized TROSY-selected 13C CPMG relaxation dispersion
Conformational exchange of aromatic side chains characterized by L-optimized TROSY-selected 13C CPMG relaxation dispersion
Abstract Protein dynamics on the millisecond time scale commonly reflect conformational transitions between distinct functional states. NMR relaxation dispersion experiments have provided important insights into biologically relevant dynamics with site-specific resolution, primarily targeting the protein backbone and methyl-bearing side chains. Aromatic side chains represent attractive probes of protein dynamics because they are over-represented in protein binding...

TROSY-selected ZZ-exchange experiment for characterizing slow chemical exchange in large proteins
TROSY-selected ZZ-exchange experiment for characterizing slow chemical exchange in large proteins
Abstract A TROSY-selected ZZ-exchange experiment is described for measuring slow chemical exchange rates by monitoring the TROSY component of 15N longitudinal magnetization. Application of the proposed pulse sequence to the cadherin 8 N-terminal extracelluar domain demonstrates that enhanced sensitivity is obtained, compared to a previously described TROSY-detected ZZ-exchange sequence (Sahu et al. J Am Chem Soc 129: 13232ā??13237, 2007), by preserving the TROSY effect during the mixing...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 41(2) pp 97 - 104
Abstract:
13C homonuclear correlation spectra based on proton driven spin diffusion (PDSD) are becoming increasingly important for obtaining distance constraints from multiply labeled biomolecules by MAS NMR. One particular challenging situation arises when such constraints are to be obtained from spectra with a large natural abundance signal background which...
