Elastin is the principal protein component of the elastic fiber in vertebrate tissue. The waters of hydration in the elastic fiber are believed to play a critical role in the structure and function of this largely hydrophobic, amorphous protein. (13)C CPMAS NMR spectra are acquired for elastin samples with different hydration levels. The spectral intensities in the aliphatic region undergo significant changes as 70% of the water in hydrated elastin is removed. In addition, dramatic differences in the CPMAS spectra of hydrated, lyophilized, and partially dehydrated elastin samples over a relatively small temperature range (-20 degrees C to 37 degrees C) are observed. Results from other experiments, including (13)C T(1) and (1)H T(1 rho) measurements, direct polarization with magic-angle spinning, and static CP of the hydrated and lyophilized elastin preparations, also support the model that there is significant mobility in fully hydrated elastin. Our results support models in which water plays an integral role in the structure and proper function of elastin in vertebrate tissue.

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...

PURPOSE: The mobility of protein in powders at different hydration levels was studied in relation to aggregation and activity. METHODS: Magic angle spinning 13C, 15N, 1H, 2H, and 17O NMR techniques were used to determine changes in the mobility of surface residues in proteins as a function of hydration and related to changes in...
