Heteronuclear transverse and longitudinal relaxation in AX4 spin systems: application to (15)N relaxations in (15)NH4(+).

ABSTRACT: The equations that describe the time-evolution of transverse and longitudinal (15)N magnetisations in tetrahedral ammonium ions, (15)NH4(+), are derived from the Bloch-Wangsness-Redfield density operator relaxation theory. It is assumed that the relaxation of the spin-states is dominated by (1) the intra-molecular (15)N-(1)H and (1)H-(1)H dipole-dipole interactions and (2) interactions of the ammonium protons with remote spins, which also include the contribution to the relaxations that arise from the exchange of the ammonium protons with the bulk solvent. The dipole-dipole cross-correlated relaxation mechanisms between each of the (15)N-(1)H and (1)H-(1)H interactions are explicitly taken into account in the derivations. An application to (15)N-ammonium bound to a 41kDa domain of the protein DnaK is presented, where a comparison between experiments and simulations show that the ammonium ion rotates rapidly within its binding site with a local correlation time shorter than approximately 1ns. The theoretical framework provided here forms the basis for further investigations of dynamics of AX4 spin systems, with ammonium ions in solution and bound to proteins of particular interest.

Connecting Longitudinal and Transverse Relaxation Rates in Live-Cell NMR.

Project description:In the cytosolic environment, protein crowding and Brownian motions result in numerous transient encounters. Each such encounter event increases the apparent size of the interacting molecules, leading to slower rotational tumbling. The extent of transient protein complexes formed in live cells can conveniently be quantified by an apparent viscosity, based on NMR-detected spin-relaxation measurements, that is, the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation. From combined analysis of three different proteins and surface mutations thereof, we find that T2 implies significantly higher apparent viscosity than T1. At first sight, the effect on T1 and T2 seems thus nonunifiable, consistent with previous reports on other proteins. We show here that the T1 and T2 deviation is actually not a inconsistency but an expected feature of a system with fast exchange between free monomers and transient complexes. In this case, the deviation is basically reconciled by a model with fast exchange between the free-tumbling reporter protein and a transient complex with a uniform 143 kDa partner. The analysis is then taken one step further by accounting for the fact that the cytosolic content is by no means uniform but comprises a wide range of molecular sizes. Integrating over the complete size distribution of the cytosolic interaction ensemble enables us to predict both T1 and T2 from a single binding model. The result yields a bound population for each protein variant and provides a quantification of the transient interactions. We finally extend the approach to obtain a correction term for the shape of a database-derived mass distribution of the interactome in the mammalian cytosol, in good accord with the existing data of the cellular composition.

¹³C relaxation experiments for aromatic side chains employing longitudinal- and transverse-relaxation optimized NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Aromatic side chains are prevalent in protein binding sites, perform functional roles in enzymatic catalysis, and form an integral part of the hydrophobic core of proteins. Thus, it is of great interest to probe the conformational dynamics of aromatic side chains and its response to biologically relevant events. Indeed, measurements of (13)C relaxation rates in aromatic moieties have a long history in biomolecular NMR, primarily in the context of samples without isotope enrichment that avoid complications due to the strong coupling between neighboring (13)C spins present in uniformly enriched proteins. Recently established protocols for specific (13)C labeling of aromatic side chains enable measurement of (13)C relaxation that can be analyzed in a straightforward manner. Here we present longitudinal- and transverse-relaxation optimized pulse sequences for measuring R (1), R (2), and {(1)H}-(13)C NOE in specifically (13)C-labeled aromatic side chains. The optimized R (1) and R (2) experiments offer an increase in sensitivity of up to 35 % for medium-sized proteins, and increasingly greater gains are expected with increasing molecular weight and higher static magnetic field strengths. Our results highlight the importance of controlling the magnetizations of water and aliphatic protons during the relaxation period in order to obtain accurate relaxation rate measurements and achieve full sensitivity enhancement. We further demonstrate that potential complications due to residual two-bond (13)C-(13)C scalar couplings or dipolar interactions with neighboring (1)H spins do not significantly affect the experiments. The approach presented here should serve as a valuable complement to methods developed for other types of protein side chains.

Benchmarking transverse spin relaxation based oxygenation measurements in the brain during hypercapnia and hypoxia.

Project description:PurposeTo simultaneously assess reproducibility of three MRI transverse relaxation parameters ( R2', R2*, and R2 ) for brain tissue oxygenation mapping and to assess changes in these parameters with inhalation of gases that increase and decrease oxygenation, to identify the most sensitive parameter for imaging brain oxygenation.Materials and methodsForty-eight healthy subjects (25 male, ages 35 ± 8 years) were scanned at 3.0 Tesla, each with one of four gases (mildly and strongly hypercapnic and hypoxic) administered in a challenge paradigm, using a gas delivery setup designed for patient use. Cerebral blood flow mapping with arterial spin labeling, and simultaneous R2', R2*, and R2 mapping with gradient-echo sampling of free induction decay and echo (GESFIDE) were performed. Reproducibility in air and gas-induced changes were evaluated using nonparametric analysis with correction for multiple comparisons.ResultsOur gas delivery setup achieved stable gas challenges as shown by physiological monitoring. Test-retest variability of R2', R2*, and R2 were found to be 0.24 s-1 (8.6% of mean), 0.24 s-1 (1.3% of mean), and 0.15 s-1 (1.0% of mean), respectively. Strong hypoxia produced the most conclusive oxygenation-driven relaxation change, inducing increases in R2' (25 ± 13%, P = 0.03), R2* (5 ± 2%, P = 0.02), and R2 (2 ± 2%, NS).ConclusionWe benchmarked the intra-scan test-retest variability in GESFIDE-based transverse relaxation rate mapping. Using a reliable framework for gas challenge paradigms, we recommend strong hypoxia for validating oxygenation mapping methods, and the use of tissue R2' change, instead of R2* or R2 , as a metric for studying brain tissue oxygenation using transverse relaxation methods.Level of evidence1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J.

Eta(z)/kappa: a transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy NMR experiment measuring longitudinal relaxation interference.

Project description:NMR spin relaxation experiments provide a powerful tool for the measurement of global and local biomolecular rotational dynamics at subnanosecond time scales. Technical limitations restrict most spin relaxation studies to biomolecules weighing less than 10 kDa, considerably smaller than the average protein molecular weight of 30 kDa. In particular, experiments measuring eta(z), the longitudinal (1)H(N)-(15)N dipole-dipole (DD)/(15)N chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) cross-correlated relaxation rate, are among those least suitable for use with larger biosystems. This is unfortunate because these experiments yield valuable insight into the variability of the (15)N CSA tensor over the polypeptide backbone, and this knowledge is critical to the correct interpretation of most (15)N-NMR backbone relaxation experiments, including R(2) and R(1). In order to remedy this situation, we present a new (1)H(N)-(15)N transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy experiment measuring eta(z) suitable for applications with larger proteins (up to at least 30 kDa). The presented experiment also yields kappa, the site-specific rate of longitudinal (1)H(N)-(1)H(') DD cross relaxation. We describe the eta(z)/kappa experiment's performance in protonated human ubiquitin at 30.0 degrees C and in protonated calcium-saturated calmodulin/peptide complex at 20.0 degrees C, and demonstrate preliminary experimental results for a deuterated E. coli DnaK ATPase domain construct at 34 degrees C.

Longitudinal spin Seebeck effect contribution in transverse spin Seebeck effect experiments in Pt/YIG and Pt/NFO.

Project description:The spin Seebeck effect, the generation of a spin current by a temperature gradient, has attracted great attention, but the interplay over a millimetre range along a thin ferromagnetic film as well as unintended side effects which hinder an unambiguous detection have evoked controversial discussions. Here, we investigate the inverse spin Hall voltage of a 10 nm thin Pt strip deposited on the magnetic insulators Y3Fe5O12 and NiFe2O4 with a temperature gradient in the film plane. We show characteristics typical of the spin Seebeck effect, although we do not observe the most striking features of the transverse spin Seebeck effect. Instead, we attribute the observed voltages to the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect generated by a contact tip induced parasitic out-of-plane temperature gradient, which depends on material, diameter and temperature of the tip.

Ligand-stabilized heteronuclear diatomics of group 13 and 15.

Project description:A theoretical investigation of ligand-stabilized MX diatomics (M = group 13, X = group 15 element) with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has been carried out to assess bonding and electronic structure. Binding of two ligands in the form L-MX-L is generally preferred over binding of a single ligand as L-MX or MX-L. Binding of carbene donor ligands is predicted to be thermodynamically favorable for all the systems, and is very favorable for the lighter group 15 systems (nitrogen and phosphorus). Detailed analysis of the bonding in these complexes has been carried out with energy decomposition analysis (EDA). In all cases, the carbene to boron and carbene to nitrogen bonding is described as an electron-sharing double bond with both σ and π bonding interactions. For the heavier elements, bonding to C (except for PC interactions) is best described as a donor-acceptor σ single bond.

Heteronuclear cross-relaxation effects in the NMR spectroscopy of hyperpolarized targets.

Project description:Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enables high-sensitivity solution-phase NMR experiments on long-lived nuclear spin species such as (15)N and (13)C. This report explores certain features arising in solution-state (1)H NMR upon polarizing low-? nuclear species. Following solid-state hyperpolarization of both (13)C and (1)H, solution-phase (1)H NMR experiments on dissolved samples revealed transient effects, whereby peaks arising from protons bonded to the naturally occurring (13)C nuclei appeared larger than the typically dominant (12)C-bonded (1)H resonances. This enhancement of the satellite peaks was examined in detail with respect to a variety of mechanisms that could potentially explain this observation. Both two- and three-spin phenomena active in the solid state could lead to this kind of effect; still, experimental observations revealed that the enhancement originates from (13)C?(1)H polarization-transfer processes active in the liquid state. Kinetic equations based on modified heteronuclear cross-relaxation models were examined, and found to well describe the distinct patterns of growth and decay shown by the (13)C-bound (1)H NMR satellite resonances. The dynamics of these novel cross-relaxation phenomena were determined, and their potential usefulness as tools for investigating hyperpolarized ensembles and for obtaining enhanced-sensitivity (1)H NMR traces was explored.

Transverse spin relaxation and diffusion-constant measurements of spin-polarized 129Xe nuclei in the presence of a magnetic field gradient.

Project description:The presence of a magnetic field gradient in a sample cell containing spin-polarized (129)Xe atoms will cause an increased relaxation rate. We measured the transverse spin relaxation time of (129)Xe verse the applied magnetic field gradient and the cell temperature. We then compared the different transverse spin relaxation behavior of dual isotopes of xenon ((129)Xe and (131)Xe) due to magnetic field gradient in the same cell. The experiment results show the residual magnetic field gradient can be measured and compensated by applying a negative magnetic gradient in the sample cell. The transverse spin relaxation time of (129)Xe could be increased 2-7 times longer when applying an appropriate magnetic field gradient. The experiment results can also be used to determine the diffusion constant of (129)Xe in H2 and N2 to be 0.4 ± 0.26 cm(2)/sec and 0.12 ± 0.02 cm(2)/sec. The results are close with theoretical calculation.

Spin annihilations of and spin sifters for transverse electric and transverse magnetic waves in co- and counter-rotations.

Project description:This study is motivated in part to better understand multiplexing in wireless communications, which employs photons carrying varying angular momenta. In particular, we examine both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves in either co-rotations or counter-rotations. To this goal, we analyze both Poynting-vector flows and orbital and spin parts of the energy flow density for the combined fields. Consequently, we find not only enhancements but also cancellations between the two modes. To our surprise, the photon spins in the azimuthal direction exhibit a complete annihilation for the counter-rotational case even if the intensities of the colliding waves are of different magnitudes. In contrast, the orbital flow density disappears only if the two intensities satisfy a certain ratio. In addition, the concepts of spin sifters and enantiomer sorting are illustrated.

Nonreciprocal Transverse Photonic Spin and Magnetization-Induced Electromagnetic Spin-Orbit Coupling.

Project description:We present a formulation of electromagnetic spin-orbit coupling in magneto-optic media, and propose an alternative source of spin-orbit coupling to non-paraxial optics vortices. Our treatment puts forth a formulation of nonreciprocal transverse-spin angular-momentum-density shifts for evanescent waves in magneto-optic waveguide media. It shows that magnetization-induced electromagnetic spin-orbit coupling is possible, and that it leads to unequal spin to orbital angular momentum conversion in magneto-optic media evanescent waves in opposite propagation-directions. Generation of free-space helicoidal beams based on this conversion is shown to be spin-helicity- and magnetization-dependent. We show that transverse-spin to orbital angular momentum coupling into magneto-optic waveguide media engenders spin-helicity-dependent unidirectional propagation. This unidirectional effect produces different orbital angular momenta in opposite directions upon excitation-spin-helicity reversals.
