X Abstract

Abstract  Fluorine NMR is a useful tool to probe protein folding, conformation and local topology owing to the sensitivity of the chemical shift to the local electrostatic environment. As an example we make use of 19F NMR and 3-fluorotyrosine to evaluate the conformation and topology of the tyrosine residues (Tyr-99 and Tyr-138) within the EF-hand motif of the C-terminal domain of calmodulin (CaM) in both the calcium-loaded and calcium-free states. We critically compare approaches to assess topology and solvent exposure via solvent isotope shifts, 19F spin–lattice relaxation rates, 1H–19F nuclear Overhauser effects, and paramagnetic shifts and relaxation rates from dissolved oxygen. Both the solvent isotope shifts and paramagnetic shifts from dissolved oxygen sensitively reflect solvent exposed surface areas.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
