text: 'Probing the dynamics of aromatic side chains provides important insights
into the behavior of a protein because flips of aromatic rings in a protein’s
hydrophobic core report on breathing motion involving a large part of the protein.
Inherently invisible to crystallography, aromatic motions have been primarily
studied by solution NMR. The question how packing of proteins in crystals affects
ring flips has, thus, remained largely unexplored. Here we apply magic-angle spinning
NMR, advanced phenylalanine 1H-13C/2H isotope labeling and MD simulation to a
protein in three different crystal packing environments to shed light onto possible
impact of packing on ring flips. The flips of the two Phe residues in ubiquitin,
both surface exposed, appear remarkably conserved in the different crystal forms,
even though the intermolecular packing is quite different: Phe4 flips on a ca.
10–20 ns time scale, and Phe45 are broadened in all crystals, presumably due to
µs motion. Our findings suggest that intramolecular influences are more important
for ring flips than intermolecular (packing) effects.'
