Hydration shell differentiates folded and disordered states of a Trp-cage miniprotein, allowing characterization of structural heterogeneity by wide-line NMR measurements.
Scientific reports 20190227 1
Hydration properties of folded and unfolded/disordered miniproteins were monitored in frozen solutions by wide-line <sup>1</sup>H-NMR. The amount of mobile water as function of T (-80 °C < T < 0 °C) was found characteristically different for folded (TC5b), semi-folded (pH < 3, TCb5(H+)) and disordered (TC5b_N1R) variants. Comparing results of wide-line <sup>1</sup>H-NMR and molecular dynamics simulations we found that both the amount of mobile water surrounding proteins in ice, as well as their ...[more]
