Primary Structure Effects on Peptide Group Hydrogen Exchange
TLDR
The results provide the information necessary to evaluate measured protein NH to ND exchange rates by comparing them with rates to be expected for the same amino acid sequence is unstructured aligo‐ and polypeptides.Abstract:
The rate of exchange of peptide group NH hydrogens with the hydrogens of aqueous solvent is sensitive to neighboring side chains. To evaluate the effects of protein side chains, all 20 naturally occurring amino acids were studied using dipeptide models. Both inductive and steric blocking effects are apparent. The additivity of nearest-neighbor blocking and inductive effects was tested in oligo- and polypeptides and, surprisingly, confirmed. Reference rates for alanine-containing peptides were determined and effects of temperature considered. These results provide the information necessary to evaluate measured protein NH to ND exchange rates by comparing them with rates to be expected for the same amino acid sequence is unstructured oligo- and polypeptides. The application of this approach to protein studies is discussed.read more

Early Events in Protein Folding Explored by Rapid Mixing Methods
TL;DR: The effects of temperature and denaturant concentration give insight into activation energies and solvent-accessibility of the transition state ensemble, and by measuring the kinetic effects of mutations, one can gain more detailed structural insight into the structural and thermodynamic properties of intermediate states and intervening barriers.

TL;DR: The effects of temperature on the dynamics of aromatic residues indicated that the protein also experiences several dynamic processes that might be related to the presence of alternative hydrogen-bond patterns in the protein interior.

Determinants of protein hydrogen exchange studied in equine cytochrome c.
TL;DR: It appears that the transient structural fluctuation necessary to bring an exchangeable hydrogen into H‐bonding contact with the H‐exchange catalyst (OH−‐ion) involves a fairly large separation of theH‐bond donor and acceptor, several angstroms at least, and therefore depends on the relative resistance to distortion of immediately neighboring structure.

Structure, thermostability, and conformational flexibility of hen egg-white lysozyme dissolved in glycerol.
TL;DR: Quenched amide proton exchange experiments revealed a greater structural protection of amide protons in glycerol than in water for a majority of the slowly exchanging protons, pointing to a highly ordered, native-like structure of lysozyme in Glycerol, with the stability exceeding that in water.

TL;DR: In this article, a new mixing scheme based on the MLEV-16 composite pulse decoupling cycle (II) was proposed, which is less sensitive to pulse imperfections and provides net magnetization transfer over a substantial bandwidth with only limited rf power.

A two-dimensional nuclear overhauser enhancement (2d noe) experiment for the elucidation of complete proton-proton cross-relaxation networks in biological macromolecules
TL;DR: The 2D NOE experiment has the principal advantage that it avoids detrimental effects arising from the limited selectivity of preirradiation in crowded spectral regions, and yields with a single instrument setting a complete network of NOE's between all the protons in the macromolecule.
