5 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Fast Backbone and Side-Chain Motions Occur on the ps to ns timescale, usually involving measuring relaxation times such as T1 and T2 to determine order parameters, correlation times, and chemical exchange rates. The spectral density function, J(ω), is directly related to the three relaxation rates, through the Lipari and Szabo model, where τ m is the correlation time for the overall rotational diffusion of the macromolecule, S 2 is the order parameter, and 1/τ ) 1/τ m + 1/τ e, where τ e is the time scale (ns) for the internal bond vector (e.g. N-H) motions.

6 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conformational Exchange The dipolar coupling between two nuclei depends on the distance between them, and the angle of bond relative to the external magnetic field. Residual dipolar coupling (RDC) provides spatially and temporally averaged information about an angle between the external magnetic field and a bond vector in a molecule RDCs also provide rich geometrical information about dynamics on a slow (>10 9 s) in proteins. A motion tensor B can be computed from RDCs: The RDC- derived mobon parameters are local measurements.

8 8 QENS / MD Dynamic Structure Factor

9 Quasi-elastic Neutron Scattering Simple Translational Diffusion In the energy space, we typically fit with Lorentzians. For simple translational diffusion, particles follow Fick s Law: D s is diffusion coefficient Γ is the half width at half maximum (HWHM) which is this case = DQ 2, leading to a broadening of the elastic line following a given Q-dependence. 9 QENS / MD

10 Neutron Spin Echo Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) measures collective dynamics at the timescale of ns 100 ns. It provides the intermediate scattering function, I(Q, t), directly. 10 QENS / MD

11 Inelastic Neutron Scattering 11 QENS / MD Neutrons are unique for probing protein H dynamics both spatial and time resolution.

12 Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry Amide hydrogens exchange at rates that are characteristic of local backbone conformation and dynamics. In highly dynamic unstructured regions, the exchange reaction proceeds on the msec-sec timescale while amides that are hydrogen bonded will exchange more slowly (minutes to days).

13 Single-Molecule Fluorescence Spectroscopy Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), resonance energy transfer (RET) or electronic energy transfer (EET) is a mechanism describing energy transfer between two light-sensitive molecules (chromophores). In FRET, the efficiency of the absorption of the photon emitted from the first probe in the second probe depends on the distance between these probes. Since the distance changes with time, this experiment probes the internal dynamics of the molecule.

31 Normal Mode Analysis Overlap Gives information on how well a normal mode describe the conformational change. A value close to 1 indicates that the mode represents well the conformational change.

32 Normal Mode Analysis Correlation of atomic motion = 1 => atom i and j moves in the same direction with same amplitude: correlated motions = -1 => atom i and j moves in the opposite direction with same amplitude: anti-correlated motions = 0 => no correlation

43 Molecular Diffusion The Fokker-Planck equation describes the time evolution of the probability density function of the velocity of a particle under the influence of drag forces and random forces, as in Brownian motion. When applied to particle position distributions, it becomes the Smoluchowski equation. When zero diffusion, it is known as the Liouville equation.

44 Smoluchowski Equation The Smoluchowski equation is the Fokker Planck equation for the probability density function of the particle positions of Brownian particles.
