Spectroscopy & Nuclear Spin

•Absorption (or emission) spectroscopy (IR, UV, vis). Detects the absorption of radiofrequencies (electro-magnetic radiation) by certain nuclei in a molecule - NMR • Unfortunately, some quantum mechanics are needed to understand it • Only nuclei with

spin number

(

I

)  0 can absorb/emit electro magnetic radiation • Nuclei with even mass number & even number of protons ( 12 C):

I

= 0 • With even mass number & odd number of protons ( 14 N):

I

3….

• With odd mass number ( 1 H, 15 N, 13 C, 31 P):

I

= 1/2, 3/2 …….

= 1, 2, • Spin states of nucleus (m) are quantified: m

I

= (2

I

+ 1)

Thus, for biologically relevant nuclei, two spin states exist: 1/2, 1/2

Constants Strength of magnet

• In ground state all nuclear spins are disordered – no energy difference

degenerate

• Since nuclei are small magnets, they orient when a strong magnetic field is applied –

small excess aligned with field (lower energy)

Increase sensitivity by increasing magnetic field strength

Energy/Frequency Relationship

For a particular nucleus: D E = h n D E = h g B  /2  n = g B  /2  Have to consider

precession

since: 1) nucleus has inherent of a large external magnet generates a

torque spin

which results in and 2) application

Protein NMR: Practical Issues Hardware:

• Magnet: homogeneous, high field - $$$$ • Electronics: stable, tunable • Environment: temperature, pressure, humidity, stray fields

Sample Preparation:

• Recombinant protein expression (

E. coli

,

Pichia pastoris

etc) •Volume: 300 m L – 600 m L • Concentration: 1D ~ 50 m M, nD ~ 1mM ie. @ 20 kDa, 1mM = 10 mg • Purity: > 95%, buffers • Sensitivity ( g ): isotope enrichment ( 15 N, 13 C)

Protein NMR: Practical Issues (cont.) Solution Conditions:

• Variables: buffer, ionic strength, pH, temperature • Binding studies: co-factors, ligands • No crystals!

Molecular Weight:

• up to 30 – 40 kDa for 3D structure determination • > 100 kDa: uniform deuteration, residue and site-specific, atom specific labeling • Symmetry reduces complexity: 2 x10 kDa  20 kDa

Critical Features of Protein NMR Spectra

• The nuclei are not mutually coupled

Each amino acid gives rise to an independent NMR sub-spectrum, which is much simpler than the complete protein spectrum

• Regions of the spectrum correspond to different parts of the amino acid • Tertiary structure leads to increased dispersion of resonances • chemical shifts associated with each nucleus influenced by local chemical environment – nearby nuclei

Regions of a protein 1 H NMR Spectrum

What would an unfolded protein look like?

Solutions to the Challenges

1. Increase dimensionality of spectra to better resolve signals: 1  2  3  4 2.

Detect signals from heteronuclei ( 13 C, 15 N)    Better resolution of signals/chemical shifts not correlated nuclei More information to identify signals Lower sensitivity to MW of protein

Extended Homonuclear 1 H Strategy

• For proteins up to ~ 15 kDa •Same basic idea as 1 H strategy: based on backbone H N •

Concept:

When backbone 1 H overlaps  disperse with backbone 15 N • Use heteronuclear 3D experiments to increase signal resolution 1 H 1 H 15 N

Solutions to the Challenges

1. Increase dimensionally of spectra to better resolve signals: 1  2  3  4 2.

Detect signals from heteronuclei ( 13 C, 15 N)     Labeling with NMR-observable 13 C, 15 N isotopes Better resolution of signals/chemical shifts not correlated nuclei More information to identify signals Lower sensitivity to MW of protein

Isotopic Labeling

• Require uniform 15 N/ 13 C labeling ie. Every carbon and nitrogen isotopically labeled

How?

• Grow bacteria on minimal media (salts) supplemented with 15 N-NH 4 Cl and 13 C-glucose as soles sources of nitrogen and carbon • lower yields than protein expression than on enriched media, therefore need very good recombinant expression system

Summary of Homonuclear Assignment Strategy

• for proteins up to ~10 kDa (2D homonuclear) and proteins up to ~ 15 kDa ( 15 N-labeling and 3D) • using scalar coupling-type experiments (COSY, TOCSY) assign spin systems/side-chain resonances • Connect amino acids (identified based on spin systems) sequentially using NOE-type experiments and characteristic sequential NOEs (H N -H N (i, i+1); H a -H N (i, i+1))

Heteronuclear ( 1 H, 13 C, 15 N) Strategy

• for larger proteins (backbone assignment: ~70 kDa; full structure determination: ~40 kDa) •Assign resonances (chemical shifts) for all atoms (except O) 15 •Handles overlap in backbone H region disperse with backbone

Key Points

• Enables the study/assignment of much larger proteins (up to ~100 kDa) •Scalar coupling-type 3-dimensional experiments only •

Bonus:

Amino acid identification and sequence-specific assignment all at once • Most efficient but experiments are more complex •Requires 13 C, 15 N enrichment (also 2 H)  High expression levels on minimal media  Increased cost ($150/g 13 C-gluocose; $30/g 15 NH 4 Cl)

Structure Determination Overview

List of chemical shifts for all nuclei in protein ( 1 H, 13 C, 15 N)

NMR Experimental Observables Provide Structural Information

1. Backbone conformation from chemical shifts (Chemical Shift Index – CSI; H a , C a , C b , C’) 2. Hydrogen bond constraints 3. Backbone and side chain dihedral angle constraints from scalar couplings 4. Distant constraints from NOE connectivities

1. Chemical Shift Index

• Comparison of H a , C a , C b , C’ determined chemical shifts from protein to standard random coil chemical shift values • Upfield-shifted H a and C b and downfield-shifted C a and C’ values indicate amino acid residues in an a -helical conformation (requires three consecutive residues displaying this pattern) • Downfield-shifted H a and C b and upfield-shifted C a and C’ values indicate residues in an extended ( b -strand) conformation

2. Hydrogen Bonds

C=O H-N

• Slow rate of exchange of labile H N with solvent •Protein dissolved in 2 H 2 O; H N signals disappear with time •H N groups that are H bonded (i.e. part of secondary structure) will exchange a lot slower than those in loops

NMR Structure Calculations Objective:

Determine all conformations consistent with experimental data • Programs that only do conformational search may lead to bad geometry  use simulations guided by experimental data • need a reasonable starting structure •Distance restraints arrived at from NOE signal intensities  signal is an average of all conformations

NMR Structure Calculations (cont)

1. NOE signals are time & population-averaged (ie. measured on entire sample over period of time) 2. Intensity of NOE signal  1 H 1 H distance (1/r 6 )  NOE distance restraints are given a range of values strong NOE: 0 - 2.8 Å medium NOE: 2.8 – 3.5 Å weak NOE: 3.5 – 5.0 Å

NMR data not perfect: Noise, incomplete data

multiple solutions (conformational ensemble unlike X-ray crystallography with one solution)

Variable Resolution of Structures

• Secondary structures well defined, loops variable • Interiors well defined, surfaces more variable • Trends the same for backbone and side chains   More dynamics at loops/surface Constraints in all directions in the interior

Assessing the Quality of NMR Structures

• Number of experimental constraints • RMSD of structural ensemble (subjective!) • Violation of constraints- number, magnitude • Molecular energies • Comparison to known structures:

PROCHECK

• Back-calculation of experimental parameters
