Summary

Protein side chains influence hydrogen exchange rates. This study confirms that inductive and steric effects of neighboring amino acids are additive, providing a method to predict protein hydrogen exchange rates.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Protein Science

Background:

  • The exchange rate of peptide group NH hydrogens with aqueous solvent is influenced by adjacent amino acid side chains.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for interpreting protein structure and dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the impact of all 20 naturally occurring amino acids on NH hydrogen exchange rates.
  • To establish a predictive model for hydrogen exchange rates in proteins based on amino acid sequence.

Main Methods:

  • Dipeptide models were used to study the effects of individual amino acid side chains.
  • Oligo- and polypeptides were employed to test the additivity of observed effects.
  • Reference exchange rates for alanine-containing peptides were established, and temperature effects were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Both inductive and steric blocking effects of neighboring side chains on hydrogen exchange were identified.
  • The additivity of these nearest-neighbor effects was surprisingly confirmed in larger peptide models.
  • Reference rates and temperature dependencies were determined for alanine peptides.

Conclusions:

  • The findings enable the evaluation of experimentally measured protein NH to ND exchange rates by comparison with predicted rates for unstructured sequences.
  • This provides a valuable tool for analyzing protein behavior and structure-function relationships.
  • The study discusses the application of this predictive approach to complex protein systems.
