Abstract

The efficiency of multiple-dimensional heteronuclear correlation experiments in membrane protein studies is partially determined by the efficiency of double cross polarization (DCP). DCP is a basic block in the pulse sequences to probe the connections between the 15N and 13C nuclei. In this study, three membrane proteins were studied experimentally to determine how the dynamics properties of the proteins affect the DCP efficiency in solid-state heteronuclear correlation experiments. Under the same experimental conditions, the AQPZ protein showed the highest DCP efficiency (31%), while the EV71 2B protein had the lowest efficiency (14%) and the DAGK protein in between (23%). Longitudinal lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T1ρ) and dipole coupling constant (DHN) were also measured for these proteins. It was found that the DCP efficiency depended strongly on T1ρ, but only weakly on DHN. Based on the experimental data, a model to correlate the T1ρ of protein to the DCP efficiency was established, with which the DCP efficiency could be predicted by measuring the T1ρ of membrane proteins.
