Protein Side-Chain Dynamics Observed by Solution- and Solid-State NMR: Comparative Analysis of Methyl 2H Relaxation Data
2006
Rapid advances in solid-state MAS NMR made it possible to probe protein dynamics on a per-residue basis, similar to solution experiments. In this work we compare methyl 2H relaxation rates measured in the solid and liquid samples of α-spectrin SH3 domain. The solution data are treated using a model-free approach to separate the contributions from the overall molecular tumbling and fast internal motion. The latter part forms the basis for comparison with the solid-state data. Although the accuracy of solid-state measurements is limited by deuterium spin diffusion, the results suggest a significant similarity between methyl dynamics in the two samples. This is a potentially important observation, preparing the ground for combined analysis of the dynamics data by solid- and solution-state NMR.
