title: Quantitative measurement of differential 15N-H(alpha/beta)T2 relaxation rates in a perdeuterated protein by MAS solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: Dynamic parameters become more and more accessible in the study of uniformly isotopically enriched proteins by MAS solid-state NMR. We demonstrate that T(2)-related relaxation properties can quantitatively be determined in a sample of a perdeuterated microcrystalline protein by the measurement of (15)N,(1)H dipole, (15)N CSA cross-correlated relaxation rates. We find that the measured cross-correlated relaxation rates are independent of the MAS rotation frequency, and therefore reflect local dynamic fluctuations of the protein structure.
