Abstract 15N relaxation rates of amide moieties provide insight both into global as well as local backbone dynamics of peptides and proteins. As the differences in the relaxation rates in general are small, their accurate determination is of prime importance. One potential source of error is fast amide exchange. It is well known that in its presence the effects of saturation transfer and H/D exchange may result in erroneous apparent relaxation rates R 1 and R 2. Here, the extent of these errors is rigorously examined. Theoretical considerations reveal that even when saturation effects are absent, H/D exchange will easily result in significant deviations from the true values. In particular overestimations of up to 10 % in R 1 and up to 5 % in R 2 are observed. An alternative scheme for fitting the relaxation data to the corresponding exponentials is presented that in the best cases not only delivers more accurate relaxation rates but also allows extracting estimates for the exchange rates. The theoretical computations were tested and verified for the case of ubiquitin.

Mathematical treatment of adiabatic fast passage pulses for the computation of nuclear spin relaxation rates in proteins with conformational exchange
Mathematical treatment of adiabatic fast passage pulses for the computation of nuclear spin relaxation rates in proteins with conformational exchange
Abstract Although originally designed for broadband inversion and decoupling in NMR spectroscopy, recent methodological developments have introduced adiabatic fast passage (AFP) pulses into the field of protein dynamics. AFP pulses employ a frequency sweep, and have not only superior inversion properties with respect to offset effects, but they are also easily implemented into a pulse sequence. As magnetization is dragged from the +z to...

How uniform is the peptide plane geometry? A high-accuracy NMR study of dipolar Cαâ??Câ?²/HNâ??N cross-correlated relaxation
Abstract Highly precise and accurate measurements of very small NMR cross-correlated relaxation rates, namely those between protein HiNâ??Ni and Ciâ??1αâ??Ciâ??1â?² dipoles, are demonstrated with an error of 0.03 sâ??1 for GB3. Because the projection angles between the two dipole vectors are very close to the magic angle the rates range only from â??0.2 to +0.2 sâ??1. Small changes of the average vector orientations have a dramatic impact on the relative values....
