The effects of temperature and NaCl on the micellization of CHAPS, a zwitterionic detergent widely used in membrane protein studies, have been investigated by NMR spectroscopy. We found that the two apparent critical micelle concentration (cmc) values of CHAPS decrease with the increase of temperature, as well as the NaCl concentration. The thermodynamic parameters derived from the temperature-dependent cmc values show that the micellization process is spontaneous and exothermic, and the van der Waals interaction is likely to be the main factor for the micellization of CHAPS. The micellar hydrodynamic radii remain almost the same in a range of 100-600 mM NaCl, indicating that the aggregate states of CHAPS are not sensitive to the change of the surrounding conditions. In addition, the dependence of nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) intensities on temperatures further demonstrates the existence of the unique staggered micellar structure of CHAPS at a concentration above the apparent second cmc, which was suggested in our previous work. Our results provide a basis for optimizing CHAPS concentration in the solubilization or stabilization of membrane proteins under nondenaturing conditions and may be helpful to understand its interaction with 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...
