Dynamics are important for protein function energy conformation
Two-site conformational exchange • Weakly populated protein states are often not directly observable in NMR spectra.

Two-site conformational exchange • In the absence of exchange, magnetization remains in phase precession time
Two-site conformational exchange • Conformational exchange on the millisecond timescale leads to dephasing of the signal. • Peaks become broad or even disappear. • The signal decays (relaxes) more rapidly. precession time
Two-site conformational exchange • 180 RF pulses reverse the effective direction of precession. • By increasing the pulse repetition rate (nCPMG), one can decrease dephasing and therefore the rate of signal loss (R2,eff) CPMG pulse train 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 precession time

Two state fitting: T4 lysozyme L99A • We could just average pB values over all residues, but there are several drawbacks: • The average value of pB will not in general correspond to a best fit to experimental data. • It is difficult to identify residues that do not participate in the global process. • Residues in fast exchange do not provide pB, however kex is global, refines the fit. pApB(Δω)2 kex pBΔω kex fast exchange intermediate exchange

CPMG experiments beyond amide 15N • In general, dispersion profiles are well-fit by two-site model. • Even with 6 experiments, for single-residue fits, 3-site is better than 2-site model for only 14 out of 40 residues. • Multi-site models explain inconsistencies between apparent two-site parameters for different residues.
