Popis: | We provide an experimental and computational framework for (2)H quadrupolar chemical exchange saturation transfer NMR experiments (Q-CEST) under static solid-state conditions for the quantification of dynamics on μs-ms timescales. Simulations using simple 2-site exchange models provide insights into the relation between spin dynamics and motions. Biological applications focus on two sites of amyloid-β fibrils in the 3-fold symmetric polymorph. The first site, the methyl group of A2 of the disordered N-terminal domain, undergoes diffusive motions and conformational exchange due to transient interactions. Earlier (2)H rotating frame relaxation and quadrupolar CPMG measurements are combined with the Q-CEST approach to characterize the multiple conformational states of the domain. The second site, the methyl group of M35, spans the water-accessible cavity inside the fibrils’ core and undergoes extensive rotameric exchange. Q-CEST permits us to refine the rotameric exchange model for this site and allows the more precise determination of populations and rotameric exchange rate constants than line shape analysis. |
