Hydration dynamics of proteins in reverse micelles probed by 1H-NOESY/1H-ROESY NMR and 17O-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR)
Literature Information
Philipp Honegger, Othmar Steinhauser
This study is based on extensive MD simulations of a protein in a reverse micelle to mimic the effect of confinement on biomolecules. This permits the calculation of measurable quantities appearing in NQR and Nuclear Overhauser-NMR despite the high computational effort. We address the long-standing debate about the intermolecular NOE showing that absolute quantities derived from NOESY and ROESY spectra do indeed contain considerable long-range contributions, while ratios thereof are effectively short-ranged due to almost perfect compensation effects. Based on NQR relaxation times, we predict strong rotational retardation of interstitial water between the protein and the surfactant surface. The computed NOE to ROE ratio correlates fairly with experimental results. The solvation dynamics mapped onto the protein surface reflects the spatial heterogeneity of a cell-like system with slow water dynamics in proximity to the cell wall and almost bulk-like behaviour in the water core.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
