Rotational motions in myoglobin assessed by carbon 13 relaxation measurements at two magnetic field strengths
Abstract
Proton-decoupled Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of natural abundance 13C was used to obtain spectra of cyanoferrimyoglobin of sperm whale (Physeter catadon) at 14.1 and 23.5 kG. Comparison of the spin lattice relaxation times at these two field strengths allowed the unambiguous assignment of a rotational correlation time of 22 plus or minus 5 ns for the alpha carbon resonances. The spin lattice relaxation time value for a major band attributable to aromatic carbon atoms also corresponded to a single correlation time, attributable to over-all tumbling of the molecule. Certain narrower resonances reflect other modes of rotational motion in addition to the over-all tumbling. Observations of nuclear Overhauser enhancement and line widths accord with these conslusions.
