Here we investigate the conformational ensemble and interactions of the H4 tail in nucleosomes by means of solution NMR measurements of paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) in recombinant samples reconstituted with 15N-enriched H4 and nitroxide spin-label tagged H3.

Aromatic ring flips in differently packed ubiquitin protein crystals from MAS NMR and MD

Posted: 12.01.2023
Here we apply magic-angle spinning NMR, advanced phenylalanine 1H-13C/2H isotope labeling and MD simulation to a protein in three different crystal packing environments to shed light onto possible impact of packing on ring flips.

Simulating diffraction photographs based on molecular dynamics trajectories of a protein crystal: a new option to examine structure-solving strategies in protein crystallography

Posted: 11.01.2023
In this work, we have simulated diffraction photographs based on MD simulations of a supercell comprised of 125 unit cells of tetragonal lysozyme. The calculations were conducted using the fundamental Huygens–Fresnel principle.

Effect of rotation in NMR diffusion experiments on micron-sized particles: A generalized theoretical treatment

Posted: 17.11.2022
A theory is developed to describe the effect of particle rotation in PFG NMR experiments. The rotation can produce 1.5-fold or even greater acceleration of apparent diffusion rates. Large macromolecular assemblies always diffuse much more slowly than their constituent monomers.

Weak nuclear spin singlet relaxation mechanisms revealed by experiment and computation

Posted: 23.03.2022
The ability of nuclear spin singlet order (SO) to exhibit lifetimes much longer than spin lattice relaxation times has motivated the investigation into the use of such states as information or polarization storage vehicles. Potential applications include imaging, the study of slow kinetic or dynamic processes, or the study of weak relaxation mechanisms.
