Title: Modern Approaches to Protein structure Determination


1
Modern Approaches to Protein structureDeterminati
on
  • 1. Introduction to NMR.
  • 2. Solving Protein Structures by NMR -
  • The features of a 1D spectrum - what can we
    tell?
  • The need for 2D
  • 3. 2D NMR -
  • How NMR works through space not just
    bonds - we need this to solve structures.
  • The move to the third dimension
  • 4-5. Modern methods for structure determination
  • 6. Comparison of techniques and New developments

  • Why study protein structure?
  • The more we understand about a protein and its
    function, the more we can do with it. It can be
    used for a new specific purpose or even be
    redesigned too carry out new useful functions
    (biotechnology industry).
  • We can use this knowledge to help understand the
    basis of diseases and to design new drugs
    (medicine drug design).
  • The more knowledge we have how proteins behave
    in general, the more we can apply it to others
    (protein families etc)
  • Structure determination of biomacromolecules by
    NMR
  • no crystal needed, native like conditions
    -bandshift assays -Dynamics
  • Size limitations

Complex, could be the active form

Gyromagnetic ratio
  • The gyromagnetic ratio g determines the ratio of
    the nuclear magnetic moment to the nuclear spin.
  • It is a fundamental property of each nuclear
    isotope
  • Fundamental symmetry theorems predict that spin
    and magnetic moment are co-linear

m
m gI
This equation tells us how much magnetism we get
for a given spin.
The gyromagnetic ratio is also known as the
magnetogyric ratio

Zeeman splitting
  • Energy of interaction is given by E-m.B in a
    magnetic field B. The dot product tells us the
    energy depends on the size and relative
    orientation of B and m.
  • We take Bo to be along the Z axis, so the dot
    product becomes E-mzBz(o) (i.e. mxBz and myBz
    0)
  • the energy of the state with quantum number Iz
    is given by

A nuclear spin precesses in a magnetic field
the circulating motion of the spin angular
momentum is called precession
this arrow denotes the direction of the spin
angular momentum
  • Nuclear spins precess because
  • they are magnetic
  • they have angular momentum

Note ignore sign difference this arises from
convention and the sign of the precession.
Compare with Zeeman Splitting
