TL;DR: Multidimensional NMR techniques are providing new information on the structure and dynamics of protein folding intermediates and both partly folded and unfolded states.
Abstract: NMR has emerged as an important tool for studies of protein folding because of the unique structural insights it can provide into many aspects of the folding process. Applications include measurements of kinetic folding events and structural characterization of folding intermediates, partly folded states, and unfolded states. Kinetic information on a time scale of milliseconds or longer can be obtained by real-time NMR experiments and by quench-flow hydrogen-exchange pulse labeling. Although NMR cannot provide direct information on the very rapid processes occurring during the earliest stages of protein folding, studies of isolated peptide fragments provide insights into likely protein folding initiation events. Multidimensional NMR techniques are providing new information on the structure and dynamics of protein folding intermediates and both partly folded and unfolded states.
TL;DR: Ultrafast multidimensional NMR techniques are used to monitor the adenine-induced folding of an adenin-sensing riboswitch in real time, with nucleotide-resolved resolution, to determine the structure of RNA folding intermediates and conformational trajectories.
Abstract: Conformational transitions and structural rearrangements are central to the function of many RNAs yet remain poorly understood. We have used ultrafast multidimensional NMR techniques to monitor the adenine-induced folding of an adenine-sensing riboswitch in real time, with nucleotide-resolved resolution. By following changes in 2D spectra at rates of approximately 0.5 Hz, we identify distinct steps associated with the ligand-induced folding of the riboswitch. Following recognition of the ligand, long range loop-loop interactions form and are then progressively stabilized before the formation of a fully stable complex over approximately 2–3 minutes. The application of these ultrafast multidimensional NMR methods provides the opportunity to determine the structure of RNA folding intermediates and conformational trajectories.
TL;DR: The carotenoid profile of typical tomato juice was successfully determined with minimal purification procedures and the use of one-dimensional NMR enabled the rapid identification of lycopene isomers, thereby minimizing further isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene as compared to HPLC data.
Abstract: Epidemiological data have shown a link between dietary intake of tomatoes and tomato products (rich in carotenoids) and a decreased risk of chronic diseases. The carotenoid profile in tomato products depends on tomato variety as well as the thermal conditions used in processing. The final carotenoid profile may affect the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of these biomolecules. Therefore, nondestructive, reliable methods are needed to characterize the structural and stereochemical variation of carotenoids. CDCl(3) rapid extraction was used to extract carotenoids from tomato juice as an alternative rapid procedure that minimizes solvents and time consumption prior to NMR analysis. The profile of these biomolecules was characterized by application of high-resolution multidimensional NMR techniques using a cryogenic probe. The combination of homonuclear and heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR techniques served to identify (all-E)-, (5Z)-, (9Z)-, and (13Z)-lycopene isomers and other carotenoids such as (all-E)-beta-carotene and (15Z)-phytoene dissolved in the extracted lipid mixture. The use of one-dimensional NMR enabled the rapid identification of lycopene isomers, thereby minimizing further isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene as compared to HPLC data. On the basis of the assignments accomplished, the carotenoid profile of typical tomato juice was successfully determined with minimal purification procedures.
TL;DR: This paper evaluated a series of NMR solvents for easy and versatile single-step extraction using the (13)C-labeled photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and chose methanol-d(4) (MeOD) as a semipolar extraction solvent that can sufficiently sharpen the line width and affords better-quality NMR spectra.
Abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become a key technology in metabolomics, with the use of stable isotope labeling and advanced heteronuclear multidimensional NMR techniques. In this paper, we focus on the evaluation of extraction solvents to improve NMR-based methodologies for metabolomics. Line broadening is a serious barrier to detecting signals and the annotation of metabolites using multidimensional NMR. We evaluated a series of NMR solvents for easy and versatile single-step extraction using the (13)C-labeled photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, which shows pronounced broadening of NMR signals. The performance of each extraction solvent was judged using 2D (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) spectra, considering three metrics: (1) distribution of the line width at half height, (2) number of observed signals, and (3) the total observed signal intensity. Considering the total rank values for the three metrics, we chose methanol-d(4) (MeOD) as a semipolar extraction solvent that can sufficiently sharpen the line width and affords better-quality NMR spectra. We also evaluated the series of extraction solvents by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) based ionomics approach. It was also indicated that MeOD is useful for excluding paramagnetic ions as well as macromolecules in an easy single-step extraction. MeOD extraction also appeared to be effective for other bacterial and animal samples. An additional advantage of this semipolar solvent is that it supplements the aqueous (polar) buffer system reported by many groups. The flexible, appropriate application of polar and semipolar extraction should contribute to the large-scale analysis of metabolites.
