2 A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO PROTEIN STRUCTURE
3 Chemical composition of bacterial and mammalian cells Component Bacteria Mammals (%) H 2 O Inorganic ions 1 1 Metabolites 3 3 Proteins DNA+RNA Phospholipids 2 5 Sugars 2 2
4 Proteins have multiple vital functions Alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes alcohols to aldehydes or ketones Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood Haemoglobin carries oxygen
5 Proteins are biopolymers peptide bond aa residue Φ Ψ ω ω
6 Amino acid: the basic unit of proteins NH 3+ Amino group R C H α COO - Carboxylic acid group Different side chains, R, determine the properties of 20 amino acids. An α-amino acid
7 There are 20 different R Glycine (G) Alanine (A) Valine (V) Isoleucine (I) Leucine (L) Proline (P) Methionine (M) Phenylalanine (F) Tryptophan (W) Asparagine (N) Glutamine (Q) Serine (S) Threonine (T) Tyrosine (Y) Cysteine (C) Asparatic acid (D) Glutamic acid (E) Lysine (K) Arginine (R) Histidine (H) White: Hydrophobic, Green: Hydrophilic, Red: Acidic, Blue: Basic
8 Proteins are formed by the linear condensation of a number of amino R 1 NH 3 C COO ー H H 2 O R 1 acids R 2 NH 3 C COO ー H R 2 H 2 O R 3 A carboxylic acid condenses with an amino group with the release of a water NH 3 A C CO H F Peptide bond G N NH C CO S T H D Peptide bond K NH C CO G S H A The amino acid sequence is called primary structure

26 Intrinsic Sensitivity of Nuclei Nucleus γ % Natural Relative Abundance Sensitivity 1 H 2.7 x C 6.7 x N -2.7 x P 1.1 x Prepare samples enriched in these nuclei
27 Biomolecules Have Many Signals 1 H NMR Spectrum of Ubiquitin ~75 residues, ~500 1 H resonances Terminology: signals are overlapped
28 Quality of the sample The ideal sample, 12.5 kda Oligomerization, 16 kda Structural flexibility, 10 kda
29 Protein structure determination by NMR Spectral assignment Collection of distance and angle restraints Calculation of the structures by restraint molecular dynamics
30 Premises for NMR structure determination - resonance frequency depends on the chemical nature of the group containing the nucleus - the chemical shift depends on the conformation - nuclear Overhauser effect contains interatom distance information the coupling constant is a function of a dihedral angle
31 Resonance assignment of protein spectra

36 Resonance assignment using proton NMR COSY spectrum NOESY spectrum superposed in the fingerprint region
37 Multi-Dimensional NMR H α H β H N If 2D cross peaks overlap go to 3D or 4D..
38 General 2D experiment with magnetization transfer
39 A 2D heteronuclear experiment

41 Advantages of Heteronuclear nd NMR Uses a second nucleus to resolve overlap of the first: chemical shift of each nucleus is characteristic/sensitive to different factors More information to identify resonances Less sensitive to MW because this strategy uses large 1 and 2-bond scalar couplings
42 Multi-Dimensional Heteronuclear 15 N- 1 H HSQC NMR F1 Chemical Shift ( 15 N) F2 Chemical Shift ( 1 H)
43 Dispersion of 2D peaks in a 3D spectrum 2D NOESY
44 Proteins larger than ~15 kda Problems: peak superposition, linewidth Solution: double labeling: 13 C 15 N, run tri-nuclear experiments
