  2. NMR Relaxation and Dynamics NMR relaxation measurements provide information on structure and dynamics at a wide range of time scales that is site specific: S2 ti Rex D kon koff tc • Biomolecules are not static: • rotational diffusion (tc) • translational diffusion (D) • internal dynamics of backbone and sidechains (ti) • degree of order for backbone and sidechains (S2) • conformational exchange (Rex) • interactions with other molecules (kon,koff) • Biomolecules are often not globular spheres: • anisotropy (Dxx,Dyy,Dzz) • Structure/Dynamics Function

  3. Dynamics on Different Time Scales • time scaleexampleexperiment type • ns – ps bond librations lab frame relaxation • reorientation of protein T1, T2 • motions of protein main chain • side chain rotations • (case study #2) • us – ms rapid conformational exchange lineshape analysis • (case study #4) rotating frame relax. • T1r • ms – s interconversion of discrete magnetization exch. • conformations > s protein folding exchange rates • opening of 2o structures (H/D exchange) • Structural Information from Relaxation • anisotropy of overall shape (case study #1) • distance information from cross-correlation relaxation • Thermodynamics from Relaxation • relationship to entropy (case study #3)

  4. relax excite 1/T2 0 0 R = 0 1/T2 0 0 0 1/T1 Relaxation Bloch equations – introduce relaxation to account for return of magnetization to equilibrium state: treat relaxation as a first order process: dM/dt = gM x B – R(M-Mo) where T1 (longitudinal or spin-lattice relaxation time) is the time constant used to describe rate at which Mz component of magnetization returns to equilibrium (the Boltzman distribution) after perturbation. T2 (transverse or spin-spin relaxation time) is the time constant used to describe rate at which Mxy component of magnetization returns to equilibrium (completely dephased, no coherence) after perturbation.

  5. RF photon • so far, all we have is a time constant; is it possible to get a “picture” of what is causing relaxation? • consider spontaneous emission of photon: • transition probability a 1/l3 = 10-20 s-1 for NMR • consider stimulated emission: • the excited state couples to the EMF inducing transitions – this phenomenon is observed in optical spectroscopy (eg. lasers) but its effect is negligible in RF fields. • in a historic paper, Bloembergen, Purcell and Pound (Phys. Rev. 73, 679-712 (1948)) found that relaxation is related to molecular motion (NMR relaxation time varied as a function of viscosity or temperature). They postulated that relaxation is caused by fluctuating fields caused by molecular motion.

  6. source of local fields? RF timescale of fluctuation? • relaxation is dependent on motion of molecule • Zeeman interaction is independent of molecular motion therefore “local fields” exist that are orientation dependent and couple the magnetic moment with the external environment (the “lattice”) • time dependence of interaction determines how efficiently the moment couples to the lattice • it is the fluctuating “local fields” that induce transitions between energy levels of spins:

  7. q S rIS I • Relaxation Mechanisms • The relaxation of a nuclear spin is governed by the fluctuations of local fields that result when molecules reorient in a strong external magnetic field. Although a variety of interactions exist that can give rise to a fluctuating local field, the dominant sources of local fields experienced by 15N and 13C nuclei in biomolecules are dipole-dipole interactions and chemical shift anisotropy: • Magnetic Dipole-Dipole Interaction - the dipolar interaction is a through-space coupling between two nuclear spins: • The local field experienced by spin I is: • Hloc = gSh/r3IS ((3cos2q – 1)/2) • Chemical Shift Anisotropy - the CSA interaction is due to the distribution of electrons surrounding the nucleus, and the local magnetic field generated by these electrons as they precess under the influence of the applied magnetic field. The effective field at the nucleus is: • Hloc = Ho(1-s) • where Ho is the strength of the applied static magnetic field and s is the orientationally dependent component of the CSA tensor.

  8. Expressions for Relaxation Rates The relaxation rate constants for dipolar, CSA and quadrupolar interactions are linear combinations of spectral density functions, J(w). For example, one can derive the following equations for dipolar relaxation of a heteronucleus (i.e. 15N or 13C) by a proton R1,N = 1/T1,N = (d2/4)[J(wH-wN) + 3J(wN) + 6J(wH+wN)] R2,N = 1/T2,N = (d2/8)[4J(0) + J(wH-wN) + 3J(wN) + 6J(wH) + 6J(wH+wN)] NOE15N{1H} = 1 + (d2/4)(gH/gN) [6J(wH+wN) - J(wH-wN)] x T1,N where d = (gHgN(h/8p)/rHN3) The J(w) terms are “spectral density” terms that tell us what frequency of motions are going to contribute to relaxation. They have the form J(w) = tc/(1+w2tc2) and allow the motional characteristics of the system (the correlation time tc) to be expressed in terms of the “power” available for relaxation at frequency w: tc =10-7 J(w) tc =10-8 tc =10-9 w 106 107 108 109 1010

  9. Measurement of Relaxation Rates • spin lattice relaxation is measured using an inversion recovery sequence: 180 t I It = Io(1-2exp(-t/T1)) t • spin-spin relaxation is measured using a “spin echo” sequence (removes effect of field inhomogeneity): 90 t 180 t I It = Ioexp(-t/T2) t

  10. Measurement of Relaxation Rates The inversion-recovery sequence and spin-echo sequence can be incorporated into a 2D 1H-15N HSQC pulse sequence in order to measure 15N T1 and T2 for each crosspeak in the HSQC: Experimental techniques for 15N (a) R1, (b) R2, and (c) {1H}15N NOE spin relaxation measurements using two-dimensional, proton-detected pulse sequences. R1 and R2 intensity decay curves are recorded by varying the relaxation period T in a series of two dimensional experiments. The NOE is measured by recording one spectrum with saturation of 1H magnetization and one spectrum without saturation.

  11. Data Analysis Analysis of the relaxation data provides dynamical parameters (amplitude and timescale of motion) for each bond vector under study and parameters related to the overall shape of the molecule (rotational diffusion tensor): Dynamical parameters in proteins. (a) Overall rotational diffusion of the molecule is represented using an axially symmetric diffusion tensor for an ellipsoid of revolution. The diffusion constants are D|| for diffusion around the symmetry axis of the tensor and Dperp. for diffusion around the two orthogonal axes. For isotropic rotational diffusion, D|| = Dperp.. The equilibrium position of the ith N-H bond vector is located at an angle qi with respect to the symmetry axis of the diffusion tensor. Picosecond-nanosecond dynamics of the bond vector are depicted as stochastic motions within a cone with amplitude characterized by S2 and time scale characterized by te. (b) The value of S2 is graphed as a function of (-) qo calculated using Equation 22 for diffusion within a cone or (- - -) sf calculated using Equation 23 with q= 70.5° for the GAF (Gaussian Axial Fluctuation) model. from: Palmer, A.

  12. Rex,S2,te 15N 1H Data Analysis • “Model Free” analysis of relaxation based on Lipari, G. and A. Szabo “Model-Free Approach to the Interpretation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation in Macromolecules. 1. Theory and Range of Validity.” Journal of the American Chemical Society104: 4546 (1982). • Internal dynamics characterized by: • internal correlation time, te • spatial restriction of motion of bond vector, S2 • S2 = 1 highly restricted • S2 = 0 no restriction • Rex, exchange contribution to T2 • The spectral density terms in the relaxation equations are modified with terms representing internal dynamics and spatial restriction of bond vector: • J(w) ~ { S2tc/(1+w2tc2) + (1-S2)t/(1+w2t2) } • where t = tetc/(te + tc). • Analysis of relaxation data using software package (eg. Model-Free or DASHA) allows the dynamical parameters to be calculated: tc measure: 15N T1 15N T2 15N{1H} NOE calculate relaxation data for a given tc recalculate by varying values of S2, te and Rex Compare measured vs. calc. value

  19. result: inhibitor binding enhances dyanamics on the ms timescale of the b-sheet interface, a region that stabilizes the dimeric structure of the protease (residues 95-98). Relaxation behavior of the flap (residues 48-55) indicates a transition from a slow dynamic equilibrium between semi-open conformations on the 100ms timescale to a closed conformation upon inhibitor binding.
