Oxygen solubility increases toward the hydrophobic interior of membranes. Using NMR, this O(2) solubility gradient gives rise to an exquisite range of position-dependent paramagnetic effects at partial pressures of 100 atm (PO(2)), which may be used to probe membrane protein structure and positioning. In this study, fluorinated probes were introduced at selected positions of the transmembrane 1 domain of the intact homotrimer of the integral membrane protein, diacylglycerol kinase. Using (19)F NMR, O(2)-induced chemical shift perturbations revealed secondary structure, membrane immersion depth, and regions of the helix in contact with the protein or with the micelle.
Topology and immersion depth of an integral membrane protein by paramagnetic rates from dissolved oxygen
Topology and immersion depth of an integral membrane protein by paramagnetic rates from dissolved oxygen
Abstract In studies of membrane proteins, knowledge of protein topology can provide useful insight into both structure and function. In this work, we present a solution NMR method for the measurement the tilt angle and average immersion depth of alpha helices in membrane proteins, from analysis of the paramagnetic relaxation rate enhancements arising from dissolved oxygen. No modification to the micelle or protein is necessary, and the topology of both transmembrane and...

An NMR strategy for fragment-based ligand screening utilizing a paramagnetic lanthanide probe
Abstract A nuclear magnetic resonance-based ligand screening strategy utilizing a paramagnetic lanthanide probe is presented. By fixing a paramagnetic lanthanide ion to a target protein, a pseudo-contact shift (PCS) and a paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) can be observed for both the target protein and its bound ligand. Based on PRE and PCS information, the bound ligand is then screened from the compound library and the structure of the ligandâ??protein complex is determined. PRE is an...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] paramagnetic oxygen in solution NMR
paramagnetic oxygen in solution NMR
A student is running a kinetics experiment in a J-Young tube under 5-10 atm of oxygen, much like in this journal article:http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja9061932
Student is seeing reduction in signal from his compound (slightly polar) and his internal standard (non-polar). Obviously paramagnetic oxygen?
The part I can't figure out: student is NOT seeing a reduction in his solvent peak. Solvent is benzene or toluene. I am assuming he is using at least some deuterated solvent.
I have found a lot of literature on the interaction of paramagnetic...
