Global Dynamics of a Protein on the Surface of Anisotropic Lipid Nanoparticles Derived from Relaxation-Based NMR Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: The global motions of ubiquitin, a model protein, on the surface of anisotropically tumbling 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (POPG):1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC) bicelles are described. The shapes of POPG:DHPC bicelles prepared with high molar ratios q of POPG to DHPC can be approximated by prolate ellipsoids, with the ratio of ellipsoid dimensions and dimensions themselves increasing with higher values of q. Adaptation of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation-based approach that we previously developed for interactions of ubiquitin with spherical POPG liposomes (Ceccon, A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 5789-5792) allowed us to quantitatively analyze the variation in lifetime line broadening of NMR
