Abstract:
:Intermolecular NOE experiments have been used to explore interactions of water and ethanol molecules in 35% ethanol/65% water (v/v) with the peptide Trp-cage at temperatures from 5 to 25 degrees C. Magnetic dipole-dipole cross-relaxation terms sigma(HH) (NOE) and sigma(HH) (ROE) for interaction of solvent components with spins of the peptide suggest that ethanol molecules associate with backbone atoms for times of the order of nanoseconds at 5 degrees C. Formation of peptide-ethanol complexes can also account for the larger-than-expected values of cross-relaxation terms at higher temperatures. Hydrocarbon side chains of the peptide do not appear to experience such interactions with ethanol. Cross relaxation resulting from water-peptide interactions are consistent with long-lived water interactions with the backbone atoms. Water cross relaxation with nonpolar side chains of the peptide (Leu2, Ile4, Leu7, and proline residues) are only those expected for bulk solvent. However, long-lived association of both water and ethanol with the polar side chains of Tyr3 and Trp6 is indicated by the data.
