Applications Of NMR In Biology

3.7K
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very valuable analytical technique for researchers. It has been used for more than 50 years as an analytical tool. F. Bloch and E. Purcell formulated NMR in 1946 and won the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics  for their work. Biological macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and organic molecules including pharmaceutical compounds, can be studied using this versatile tool that exploits the magnetic properties of certain nuclei.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.1K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Structural Biology
  • Cellular Biology

Background:

  • Studying protein structures in sub-cellular compartments is crucial.
  • Dynamic nuclear polarization supported solid-state NMR (DNP-ssNMR) offers potential but suffers from low sensitivity and resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve DNP-ssNMR sensitivity and resolution for in-cell structural studies.
  • To investigate the structural plasticity of proteins within specific cellular locations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a novel biradical, SNAPol-1, for DNP-ssNMR experiments.
  • Conducted experiments on [13C, 15N] labeled ubiquitin within intact HeLa cells and isolated cell nuclei.
  • Employed high-magnetic fields (800 MHz/527 GHz).

Main Results:

  • SNAPol-1 demonstrated homogeneous diffusion and distribution within whole cells and isolated nuclei.
  • Achieved high sensitivity and significantly improved spectral resolution for ubiquitin.
  • Physical enrichment of cell nuclei reduced measurement time by 4-fold, providing a unique view of nuclear ubiquitin.

Conclusions:

  • SNAPol-1 enhances DNP-ssNMR for atomic-level protein structure analysis within sub-cellular compartments.
  • This advancement allows for detailed investigation of protein conformational plasticity with sub-cellular specificity.
  • The method opens new avenues for understanding protein function in its native cellular environment.
