Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a well-established method for characterizing protein structure, dynamics, and interactions, while also providing insights into molecular translational and rotational motion. These aspects play a crucial role in assessing changes in protein oligomeric state in solution.
Defining protein oligomeric state and/or its changes in solution is of significant interest for many biophysical studies carried out in vitro, especially when the nature of the oligomeric state is crucial in the subsequent interpretation of experimental results and their biological relevance. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a well-established methodology for the characterization of protein structure, dynamics, and interactions at the atomic level. As a spectroscopic method, NMR also provides a compelling means for probing both molecular translational and rotational motion, two predominant measures of effective molecular size in solution, under identical conditions as employed for structural, dynamic and interaction studies. Protein translational diffusion is readily measurable by pulse gradient spin echo (PGSE) NMR, whereas its rotational correlation time, or rotational diffusion tensor when its 3D structure is known, can also be quantified from NMR relaxation parameters, such as N-15 relaxation parameters of backbone amides which are frequently employed for probing residue-specific protein backbone dynamics. In this article, we present an introductory overview to the NMR measurement of bimolecular translational and rotational motion for assessing changes of protein oligomeric state in aqueous solution, via translational diffusion coefficients measured by PGSE NMR and rotational correlation times derived from composite N-15 relaxation parameters of backbone amides, without need for the protein structure being available.
