Authors: Tang M, Berthold DA, Rienstra CM
Membrane proteins play an important role in many biological functions. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is uniquely suited for studying structure and dynamics of membrane proteins in a membranous environment. The major challenge to obtain high quality solid-state NMR spectra of membrane proteins is sensitivity, due to limited quantities of labeled high-molecular-weight proteins. Here we demonstrate the incorporation of paramagnetic metal (Cu(2+)) ions, through either EDTA or a chelator lipid, into membrane protein samples for rapid data collection under fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) and low power (1)H decoupling. Spectral sensitivity of DsbB (20 kDa), an integral membrane protein, more than doubles in the same experimental time due to (1)H T(1) relaxation enhancement by Cu(2+) ions, with DsbB native fold and active site intact. This technique can be implemented to acquire multidimensional solid-state NMR spectra for chemical shift assignments and structure elucidation of large membrane proteins with small sample quantities.

Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement to improve sensitivity of fast NMR methods: application to intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract We report enhanced sensitivity NMR measurements of intrinsically disordered proteins in the presence of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) agents such as Ni2+-chelated DO2A. In proton-detected 1H-15N SOFAST-HMQC and carbon-detected (H-flip)13CO-15N experiments, faster longitudinal relaxation enables the usage of even shorter interscan delays. This results in higher NMR signal intensities per units of experimental time, without adverse line...

Rhodopsin is a canonical member of the family of G protein-coupled receptors, which transmit signals across cellular membranes and are linked to many drug interventions in humans. Here we show that solid-state (2)H NMR relaxation...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Relaxation editing vr paramagnetic relaxation enhancement experiments - 13C CP-MAS NM
Relaxation editing vr paramagnetic relaxation enhancement experiments - 13C CP-MAS NMR
I am a beginner in NMR spectroscopy and I would like to learn more about relaxation editing experiments vs PRE. A colleague of mine is doing the 13C CP-MAS NMR experim. and he using cellulose II powder, regenerated cellulose and milled reg cellulose. We are interested in C4 resonance of cellulose II, good resolved resonance, to better understand the supramolecular structure of cellulose II. As experiments: long relaxation experiments - PRE with aqueous CuSO4 solution of certain concentration, does the...
