01/22/03 Biomolecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy BIOCHEMISTRY BEYOND STRUCTURE • Protein dynamics from NMR • Analytical Biochemistry • Comparative Analysis
Why The Interest In Dynamics? • Function requires motion/kinetic energy • Entropic contributions to binding events • Protein Folding/Unfolding • Uncertainty in NMR and crystal structures • Effect on NMR experiments-spin relaxation is dependent on rate of motions know dynamics to predict outcomes and design new experiments • Quantum mechanics/prediction (masochism)
Dynamics From NMR Parameters • Number of signals per atom: multiple signals for slow exchange between conformational states Populations ~ relative stability Rex < w (A) - w (B) Rate A B
Dynamics From NMR Parameters • Number of signals per atom: multiple signals for slow exchange between conformational states • Linewidths: narrow = faster motion, wide = slower; dependent on MW and structure
B A B A 15N 15N 15N 1H 1H 1H Linewidth is Dependent on MW • Same shifts, same structure • Linewidth determined by size of particle • Fragments have narrower linewidths

Dynamics From NMR Parameters • Number of signals per atom: multiple signals for slow exchange between conformational states • Linewidths: narrow = faster motion, wide = slower; dependent on MW and conformational states • Exchange of NH with solvent:slow timescales (milliseconds to years!) • Requires local and/or global unfolding events • NH involved in H-bond exchanges slowly • Surface or flexible region: NH exchanges rapidly
Dynamics From NMR Parameters • Number of signals per atom: multiple signals for slow exchange between conformational states • Linewidths: narrow = faster motion, wide = slower; dependent on MW and conformational states • Exchange of NH with solvent:slow timescales • NMR relaxation measurements (ps-ns, ms-ms) • R1 (1/T1) spin-lattice relaxation rate (z-axis) • R2 (1/T2) spin-spin relaxation rate (xy-plane) • Heteronuclear NOE (e.g. 15N- 1H)
Dynamics To Probe The OriginOf Structural Uncertainty Weak correlation • Measurements show if high RMSD is due to high flexibility (low S2) Strong correlation
Analytical Protein Biochemistry • Purity (1-2%)- heterogeneity, degradation, buffer • Check on sequence (fingerprint regions) • Binding constants, off rates, on rates
Protein Fingerprints 1H COSY 15N-1H HSQC 13C HSQC also! Assay structure from residue counts in each fingerprint
Monitoring Binding Events Titration followed by 15N-1H HSQC NMR Provides • Site-specific • Multiple probes • In-depth information • Spatial distribution of responses can be mapped on structure
Binding Constants From NMR Stronger Weaker Molar ratio of d-CTTCA Fit change in chemical shift to binding equation
Comparative Analysis • Different preparations, chemical modifications • Conformational heterogeneity (e.g. cis-trans isomerization) • Homologous proteins, mutants, engineered proteins
