A pair of NMR experiments is developed for separation of individual fast-relaxing transitions inCH3methyl groups of methyl-protonated, highly deuterated proteins, and the measurement of their relaxation rates. Intra-methylH-H/H-C dipole-dipole cross-correlated spin relaxation that differentiates the rates of the fast-relaxing transitions depending on the state ofC spins, is measured in the selectively [CH3]-methyl-labeled, deuterated ubiquitin at 10, 27, and 40 °C. In contrast with previous observations, theH-H/H-C cross-correlated relaxation rates measured from relaxation rates of single-quantum proton transitions serve as good measures of side-chain order even in proteins with global rotational correlation times significantly less than 10 ns.

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...

Automated sequence- and stereo-specific assignment of methyl-labeled proteins by paramagnetic relaxation and methylâ??methyl nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy
Automated sequence- and stereo-specific assignment of methyl-labeled proteins by paramagnetic relaxation and methylâ??methyl nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy
Abstract Methyl-transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy is rapidly becoming the preferred NMR technique for probing structure and dynamics of very large proteins up to ~1 MDa in molecular size. Data interpretation, however, necessitates assignment of methyl groups which still presents a very challenging and time-consuming process. Here we demonstrate that, in combination with a known 3D structure, paramagnetic...

relaxGUI: a new software for fast and simple NMR relaxation data analysis and calculation of ps-ns and μs motion of proteins
relaxGUI: a new software for fast and simple NMR relaxation data analysis and calculation of ps-ns and μs motion of proteins
Abstract Investigation of protein dynamics on the ps-ns and μs-ms timeframes provides detailed insight into the mechanisms of enzymes and the binding properties of proteins. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an excellent tool for studying protein dynamics at atomic resolution. Analysis of relaxation data using model-free analysis can be a tedious and time consuming process, which requires good knowledge of scripting procedures. The software relaxGUI was...

Time-shared HSQC-NOESY for accurate distance constraints measured at high-field in 15N-13C-ILV methyl labeled proteins
Time-shared HSQC-NOESY for accurate distance constraints measured at high-field in 15N-13C-ILV methyl labeled proteins
Abstract We present a time-shared 3D HSQC-NOESY experiment that enables one to simultaneously record 13C- and 15N-dispersed spectra in Ile, Leu and Val (ILV) methyl-labeled samples. This experiment is designed to delineate the two spectra which would otherwise overlap with one another when acquired together. These spectra display nOe correlations in the detected proton dimension, i.e. with maximum resolution. This is in contrast to NOESY-HSQC types of experiments that...

A 77Se-containing moiety has been attached to cysteine residues in bovine hemoglobin, reduced ribonuclease A, and glutathione by reaction with 6,6'-diselenobis(3-nitrobenzoic acid). The resultant species contain Se-S linkages that have 77Se NMR absorptions in the range range of 568-580 ppm. Spectra have been recorded at 4.7 and 9.7 tesla (T). For labeled...

Abstract:
MAS solid-state NMR experiments applied to biological solids are still hampered by low sensitivity and resolution. In this work, we employ a deuteration scheme in which individual methyl groups are selectively protonated. This labeling scheme...
