Biophys J. 2001 Mar;80(3):1585-90
Authors: Price WS, Tsuchiya F, Arata Y
The time dependence of aggregation in supersaturated lysozyme solutions was studied using pulsed-gradient spin-echo NMR diffusion measurements as a function of lysozyme concentration at pH 6.0 and 298 K in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl. The measurements provide estimates of the weight-averaged diffusion coefficient of the monomeric to intermediate molecular weight lysozyme species present in the solution (very large aggregates and crystals are excluded from the average due to the NMR relaxation-weighting effects inherent in the method). The results show that the average molecular weight of the various lysozyme aggregates changed with sigmoidal kinetics and that these kinetics were strongly influenced by the initial lysozyme concentration. The visualization of the time dependence of the protein aggregation afforded by this method provides a deeper understanding of how the crystallizing conditions (especially the initial protein concentration) are related to the resulting crystals.

bulk water relaxation dependence on temperature
Is liquid water's relaxation rate strongly dependent on temperature, and does anyone have a link to a good online article with the dependency equation?Thanks!

Kinetic analysis of protein aggregation monitored by real-time 2D solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Kinetic analysis of protein aggregation monitored by real-time 2D solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract It is shown that real-time 2D solid-state NMR can be used to obtain kinetic and structural information about the process of protein aggregation. In addition to the incorporation of kinetic information involving intermediate states, this approach can offer atom-specific resolution for all detectable species. The analysis was carried out using experimental data obtained during aggregation of the 10.4 kDa Crh protein, which has been shown to involve a partially unfolded intermediate...

Conformational dependence of 13C shielding and coupling constants for methionine
Abstract Methionine residues fulfill a broad range of roles in protein function related to conformational plasticity, ligand binding, and sensing/mediating the effects of oxidative stress. A high degree of internal mobility, intrinsic detection sensitivity of the methyl group, and low copy number have made methionine labeling a popular approach for NMR investigation of selectively labeled protein macromolecules. However, selective labeling approaches are subject to more limited information content. In order to optimize the information available from such studies, we have performed DFT...
