Solid State NMR Studies of Structure and Dynamics in Systems
Deuterium NMR provides insight into dynamics over a wide range of kinetic rates. Experimental data can be rigorously fit and rates as well as motional mechanisms extracted. Temperatures dependent studies yield activation energies for key dynamic processes. Two model systems with well-characterized motions were studied to demonstrate this. The ammonium group in L-alanine has an activation energy...
متن کاملBiological membrane structure by solid-state NMR.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particularly solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is a method of choice to study the structure and dynamics of both the lipid and the protein components of model and biological membranes. Different approaches have been developed to study these systems in which the restricted molecular motions result in broad NMR spectra. This contribution will first p...
متن کامل3D structure of amyloid protofilaments of beta2-microglobulin fragment probed by solid-state NMR.
Understanding the structure and formation of amyloid fibrils, the filamentous aggregates of proteins and peptides, is crucial in preventing diseases caused by their deposition and, moreover, for obtaining further insight into the mechanism of protein folding and misfolding. We have combined solid-state NMR, x-ray fiber diffraction, and atomic force microscopy to reveal the 3D structure of amylo...
متن کاملInsights into the amyloid folding problem from solid-state NMR.
Amyloid fibrils are filamentous aggregates, with typical diameters of 10 nm and lengths on the order of microns, formed by a large class of peptides and proteins with disparate sequences and with molecular masses ranging from less than 1 kDa to tens of kilodaltons. Figure 1 shows typical amyloid fibrils as they appear in electron microscopy (EM)1 measurements. Current interest in amyloid fibril...
متن کاملZinc-binding structure of a catalytic amyloid from solid-state NMR.
Throughout biology, amyloids are key structures in both functional proteins and the end product of pathologic protein misfolding. Amyloids might also represent an early precursor in the evolution of life because of their small molecular size and their ability to self-purify and catalyze chemical reactions. They also provide attractive backbones for advanced materials. When β-strands of an amylo...
