It is designed for high stability and low noise Fourier Transform measurements for applications in pulse dipolar spectroscopy, pulse hyperfine spectroscopy, and spin relaxation from cryogenic temperatures to room temperature. An arbitrary waveform generator is used to generate pulses of any frequency and shape for multiple resonance experiments or for uniform broadband excitation with bandwidths exceeding 350 MHz. We illustrate the capabilities and performance of the spectrometer by measurements on free radicals and biradicals in solids and liquids. Relaxation times of radicals in liquid solution are measured for fewer than 30,000,000 spins (less than 3 nanomoles per liter). Non-uniform acquisition provides higher throughput for mixtures of radicals with quite different relaxation rates. Conventional DEER measurements on a rigid biradical have good modulation depth. Broadband SIFTER with chirped adiabatic WURST pulses demonstrates versatility for the latest broadband pulse schemes. A broadband ESEEM measurement correlates ESEEM and EPR frequencies which characterize the conformation of a nitroxide radical. The entire EPR spectrum with a width approaching 300 MHz was excited and detected throughout the measurement. The spectrometer supports the operator in tuning, setting up experiments and monitoring their progress so that even novice users consistently can obtain optimal results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100092"},"PeriodicalIF":2.624,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3451239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering that NMR spectroscopy is extremely powerful to characterize dynamics at various time scales, this manuscript brings an overview of the main strategies that have been employed to characterize inter-domain dynamics in relevant biological systems. Emphasis was given to the calcium binding proteins: calmodulin, cadherin, and the Na<sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> exchanger calcium-sensor domain. The introduction of paramagnetic centers in diamagnetic proteins is seen as key to obtaining unambiguous information about inter-domain dynamics. This is because the self-alignment of one of the domains in multi-domain proteins avoids the problem of dealing with alignment tensor fluctuations in dynamic systems. The combination of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and pseudocontact shifts (PCSs) with computational strategies aiming to provide an ensemble description of protein dynamics is seen as the most powerful strategy to gain detailed atomistic information on inter-domain motions. It is noteworthy that the cadherin ectodomains and the Na<sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> exchanger calcium sensor respond in the same way upon calcium-binding: in the absence of calcium the two domains are flexibly linked to one another and may preferentially sample kinked inter-domain arrangements, while calcium binding stabilizes a rigid and extended inter-domain arrangement. It is thus remarkable that nature chose the same molecular mechanism to promote two very different biological functions that are triggered by calcium signaling: intercellular adhesion by the formation of cadherin dimers and the allosteric regulation of a membrane transporter in the case of the Na<sup>+</sup>/Ca<sup>2+</sup> exchanger.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100120"},"PeriodicalIF":2.624,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3266170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zinc binding to CzrA, which induces DNA derepression, is entropically driven, as shown by calorimetry. A detailed equilibrium dynamics study of different allosteric states of CzrA revealed that zinc induces an entropy redistribution that controls for DNA binding regulation; however, this change in conformational entropy only accounts for a small net contribution to the total entropy. This difference between the change in conformational entropy vs. total entropy of zinc binding implies a significant contribution of solvent molecule rearrangements to this equilibrium. However, the absence of major structural changes suggests that solvent rearrangements occur mainly on the protein surface and/or from zinc desolvation, concomitant with a dynamical redistribution of conformational entropy. Previous results also suggest that zinc binding not only leads to a redistribution of protein internal dynamics, but also release of water molecules from the protein surface.
