摘要:
Rotating-frame (15)N relaxation rate (R(1 rho)) NMR experiments have been performed in order to study the dynamic behavior of the reduced recombinant high-potential iron-sulfur protein iso I (HiPIP I) from Ectothiorhodospira halophila, in the mu s to ms time range. Measurements of R(1 rho) were perfomed as a function of the effective spin lock magnetic field amplitude by using both on and off-resonance radio frequency irradiation. The two data sets provided consistent results and were fit globally in order to identify possible exchange processes in an external loop of the reduced HiPIP I. The loop consists of residues 43-45 and the correlation time of the exchange process was determined to be 50 +/- 8 mu s for the backbone nitrogen of Gln 44.
