  5. Spin Systems • - Assignment based on backbone HN • ➡ present in all residues (except Proline) • ➡ unique region of spectrum • ➡ well-dispersed resonances • -Scalar couplings (COSY / TOCSY) • ➡ identify spin systems (i.e. amino acid type) • - number of resonances (i.e. protons) • frequency of resonances • -Connect with NOESY

  6. intra-residual NOEs sequential NOEs 1H - 1H NOE • Dipolar interaction (NOEs) • through-space contacts • intra-residual, sequential (& long-range) contacts • link spin-systems: identify i & i-1 residue "i -1" residue "i" residue "i+1"

  15. Assignment via 1H, 15N, and 13C

  16. J coupling constants

  17. Triple resonance NMR • Heteronuclear experiments • more information • increase resolution: 2D → 3D → 4D ... • sequential assignment based on scalar coupling Protons Other nuclei 13C, 15N • Advantages • through-bond (J) magnetization transfer to neighboring residues (instead of NOE) • 1J scalar coupling much larger than 3JHH (<10 Hz) (efficient transfer of magnetization)

  18. Nomenclature i-1 & i i-1 Residue i-1 & i i-1 HN(CA)CO HNCO HNCA HN(CO)CA i-1 & i i-1 Names of scalar experiments based on atoms detected Pairs of experiments distinguish between intra-residual and sequential resonances HN(CA)CB HN(COCA)CB

  26. NMR observables&structural restraints

  27. Protein structure • Secondary structure • alpha helix, beta-sheet, etc. • Tertiary structure • full 3D structure • Experimental data that give information about the protein structure • NMR observables • Translate the experimental data into parameters that can be used in a structure calculation • Structural restraints

  28. NMR observables vs. structural restraints -3J-coupling dihedral angle - Chemical shifts secondary structure - NOE’s H-H distances - Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) distances - Residual dipolar coupling (RDC) orientation of vectors - H/D exchange hydrogen bonds

  29. measured 3J(HNHα) reports on φ OBSERVABLE: homonuclear J-couplings φ φ Karplus relation: J = A.cos2(φ) + B.cos (φ) + C

  36. Longe range • • • • A B C D Z Medium range OBSERVABLE: NOE r = • 1H-1H NOEs • signal intensity proportional to 1/r6 • reports on distance between protons • distance restraints (up to 5-6 Å) r = Sequential Intra-residue (used for identifying spin-systems) Sequential & medium range NOEs - SECONDARY STRUCTURE

  37. RESTRAINT: distances

  38. NOEs in secondary structure elements

  39. Short distances in β-strands anti-parallel

  40. NOEs in secondary structure elements

  41. Short distances in α-helices

  43. OBSERVABLE: PRE • paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) • paramagnetic center (unpaired electron) • radical (e.g.nitroxide) • certain metal ions (i.e. Mn2+, Gd3+) • nuclear spin relaxation is enhanced by the paramagnetic center • signals will broaden (or even disappear) • effect is dependent on the distance to the paramagnetic center • 1/r6 • because of the large magnetic moment of the unpaired electron the PRE provides long-range distance information (Mn2+ ~35 Å)
