¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

1.2K
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry and biophysics
  • Molecular dynamics simulations
  • Protein dynamics and folding

Background:

  • Accelerating conformational sampling is crucial for understanding protein dynamics.
  • Existing methods like accelerated molecular dynamics (AMD) and conventional MD (cMD) have limitations in efficiency and accuracy.
  • Accurate simulation of protein folding pathways and conformational ensembles remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a user-friendly Gaussian biased accelerated molecular dynamics (GbAMD) method.
  • To demonstrate GbAMD's effectiveness in accelerating conformational sampling for various proteins.
  • To quantitatively assess GbAMD's performance in conformational sampling and free-energy evaluation compared to other methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of the Gaussian biased accelerated molecular dynamics (GbAMD) method.
  • GbAMD utilizes a sum of Gaussians of potential energies as a biased force for enhanced sampling.
  • Simulations were performed on protein folding (Trpcage, GB1p, HP35) and functional conformational changes (nCaM, HIV-1 PR).

Main Results:

  • GbAMD successfully and repeatedly folded Trpcage and GB1p peptides into native structures.
  • Standard dual boost AMD could only fold Trpcage, while cMD failed to fold either peptide.
  • GbAMD accurately characterized unfolded and transition states in folding pathways, consistent with experimental data and previous simulations.

Conclusions:

  • GbAMD offers an effective and convenient approach for simulating the structural dynamics of biomolecular systems.
  • The method demonstrates superior conformational sampling ability compared to standard AMD and cMD.
  • GbAMD enables quantitative assessment of equilibrium conformational ensembles and free-energy landscapes.
