A method for evaluating absolute water content in a solid protein based on deuterium NMR measurements in solution is described. By dissolving the hydrated solid protein, which has been specifically deuterium-labeled, into deuterium-depleted water and by comparing the deuterium NMR signal intensity of water (1H2HO) with that of the protein, the amount of water contained in the solid protein is evaluated quantitatively. The method requires a heat pretreatment of the protein sample in water of an enriched (e.g. 2%) deuterium composition for complete hydrogen exchange of the labile protons, and hence is applicable to a protein with a reasonably good reversibility of thermal unfolding. By utilizing this method, the absolute content of the bound water in a protein, Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI), lyophilized for 8 h was determined to be 9.2%. The extent of hydration of solid SSI during its exposure to a deuterium-enriched water vapor could also be followed from the deuterium NMR signals in solution. In addition, solid state deuterium NMR measurements of SSI suggested that direct measurement of the natural abundance deuterium signal can give a reasonable estimate of the water content in a solid protein.

Characterization of different water pools in solid-state NMR protein samples
Abstract We observed and characterized two distinct signals originating from different pools of water protons in solid-state NMR protein samples, namely from crystal water which exchanges polarization with the protein (on the NMR timescale) and is located in the protein-rich fraction at the periphery of the magic-angle spinning (MAS) sample container, and supernatant water located close to the axis of the sample container. The polarization transfer between the water and the protein can be probed by...

Quantification of protein backbone hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates by solid state N
Quantification of protein backbone hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates by solid state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract We present the quantification of backbone amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates (HDX) for immobilized proteins. The experiments make use of the deuterium isotope effect on the amide nitrogen chemical shift, as well as on proton dilution by deuteration. We find that backbone amides in the microcrystalline α-spectrin SH3 domain exchange rather slowly with the solvent (with exchange rates negligible within the individual 15Nâ??T 1 timescales). We observed chemical exchange for 6...
