G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are medically important membrane proteins that sample inactive, intermediate, and active conformational states characterized by relatively slow interconversions (~?s-ms). On a faster timescale (~ps-ns), the conformational landscape of GPCRs is governed by the rapid dynamics of amino acid side chains. Such dynamics are essential for protein functions such as ligand recognition and allostery. Unfortunately, technical challenges have almost entirely precluded the...

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are medically important membrane proteins that sample inactive, intermediate, and active conformational states characterized by relatively slow interconversions (~?s–ms). On a faster timescale (~ps–ns), the conformational landscape of GPCRs is governed by the rapid dynamics of amino acid side chains. Such dynamics are essential for protein functions such as ligand recognition and allostery. Unfortunately, technical challenges have almost entirely...

[NMR paper] Observation of Sub-Microsecond Protein Methyl-Side Chain Dynamics by Nanoparticle-Assisted NMR Spin Relaxation
Observation of Sub-Microsecond Protein Methyl-Side Chain Dynamics by Nanoparticle-Assisted NMR Spin Relaxation
Amino-acid side-chain properties in proteins are key determinants of protein function. NMR spin relaxation of side chains is an important source of information about local protein dynamics and flexibility. However, traditional solution NMR relaxation methods are most sensitive to sub-nanosecond dynamics lacking information on slower ns-?s time-scale motions. Nanoparticle-assisted NMR spin relaxation (NASR) of methyl-side chains is introduced here as a window into these ns-?s...

[NMR paper] Probing Side-Chain Dynamics in Proteins by NMR Relaxation of Isolated (13)C Magnetization Modes in (13)CH(3) Methyl Groups
Probing Side-Chain Dynamics in Proteins by NMR Relaxation of Isolated (13)C Magnetization Modes in (13)CH(3) Methyl Groups
The dynamics of methyl-bearing side chains in proteins were probed by ^(13)C relaxation measurements of a number of ^(13)C magnetization modes in selectively ^(13)CH(3)-labeled methyl groups of proteins. We first show how ^(13)C magnetization modes in a ^(13)CH(3) spin-system can be isolated using acute-angle ¹H radio-frequency pulses. The parameters of methyl-axis dynamics, a measure of methyl-axis ordering (S(axis)²) and the correlation time of fast local methyl-axis...

Estimating side-chain order in methyl-protonated, perdeuterated proteins via multiple-quantum relaxation violated coherence transfer NMR spectroscopy
Estimating side-chain order in methyl-protonated, perdeuterated proteins via multiple-quantum relaxation violated coherence transfer NMR spectroscopy
Abstract Relaxation violated coherence transfer NMR spectroscopy (Tugarinov et al. in J Am Chem Soc 129:1743â??1750, 2007) is an established experimental tool for quantitative estimation of the amplitudes of side-chain motions in methyl-protonated, highly deuterated proteins. Relaxation violated coherence transfer experiments monitor the build-up of methyl proton multiple-quantum coherences that can be created in magnetically equivalent...
