Dynamic structure of membranes by deuterium NMR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Progress in our understanding of the dynamic structure of membrane lipids and proteins has recently been made possible by the advent of high-field "solid-state" nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of specifically deuterium-labeled systems. Major features of lipid and protein dynamics have been deduced.

NMR-Based Detection of Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange in Liposome-Embedded Membrane Proteins
Membrane proteins play key roles in biology. Determination of their structure in a membrane environment, however, is highly challenging. To address this challenge, we developed an approach that couples hydrogen/deuterium exchange of membrane proteins to rapid unfolding and detection by solution-state NMR spectroscopy. We show that the method allows analysis of the solvent protection of single r...
متن کاملApplication of 31P NMR to model and biological membrane systems.
Proton, deuterium and carbon magnetic resonance techniques have been widely used to study the hydrocarbon chain region of model bilayer systems and biological membranes (for a review see :[l]). More recently, phosphorus magnetic resonance (31P NMR) has been introduced to study the polar headgroup region of membranes [2-7]. In this communication we show how 31P NMR can define an order parameter ...
متن کاملEffects of the eukaryotic pore-forming cytolysin Equinatoxin II on lipid membranes and the role of sphingomyelin.
Equinatoxin II (EqtII), a protein toxin from the sea anemone Actinia equina, readily creates pores in sphingomyelin-containing lipid membranes. The perturbation by EqtII of model lipid membranes composed of dimyristoylphosphatidycholine and sphingomyelin (10 mol %) was investigated using wideline phosphorus-31 and deuterium NMR. The preferential interaction between EqtII (0.1 and 0.4 mol %) and...
متن کاملTheory of the deuterium NMR of sterol-phospholipid membranes.
A general theoretical model is described for the NMR spectra of mixtures of sterols and deuterium-labeled phospholipids. In the case of homogeneous membranes, the average quadrupole splittings are determined by equilibria between lipids in cholesterol-phospholipid complexes and lipids not in complexes. Chemical exchange of lipids between those in the free state and those in the complex state af...
متن کاملBulletin of Magnetic Resonance NMR STUDIES OF MEMBRANE SURFACES
Biological membranes are usually composed of a limited number of phospholipid types, often mixed with other, non-phosphate containing lipids and proteins. Magnetic resonance methods have proved particularly useful in the study of the acyl chain behaviour of* phospholipids in membranes, in particular in the study of how lipids and proteins interact at the molecular level as reviewed by Marsh and...
