  • Title: Measurement of 15N-T1 relaxation rates in a perdeuterated protein by magic angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
    Author: Chevelkov V, Diehl A, Reif B.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2008 Feb 07; 128(5):052316. PubMed ID: 18266433.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we present the measurement of (15)N-T(1) relaxation times in the solid state for a perdeuterated protein for which exchangeable protons are back substituted during recrystallization using a buffer which contains 10% H(2)O and 90% D(2)O. We find large variations of the (15)N relaxation time, even within the same beta sheet. By comparing (15)N-T(1) relaxation times measured for a protonated and a deuterated protein (using the above mentioned approach), we conclude that (1)H driven (15)N,(15)N spin diffusion has a significant impact on the absolute (15)N relaxation time in protonated proteins. This effect is important for a quantitative analysis of relaxation data in terms of molecular dynamics.
