Flexible transmembrane helices frequently support the conformational transitions between different functional states of membrane proteins. While proline is well known to distort and destabilize transmembrane helices, the role of glycine is still debated. Here, we systematically investigated the effect of glycine on transmembrane helix flexibility by placing it at different sites within the otherwise uniform leucine/valine repeat sequence of the LV16 model helix. We show that amide deuterium/hydrogen exchange kinetics are increased near glycine. Molecular dynamics simulations reproduce the measured exchange kinetics and reveal, at atomic resolution, a severe packing defect at glycine that enhances local hydration. Furthermore, glycine alters H-bond occupancies and triggers a redistribution of alpha-helical and 3(10)-helical H-bonds. These effects facilitate local helix bending at the glycine site and change the collective dynamics of the helix.
