A <sup>2</sup>H NMR Relaxation Experiment for the Measurement of the Time Scale of Methyl Side-Chain Dynamics in Large Proteins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An NMR experiment is presented for the measurement of the time scale of methyl side-chain dynamics in proteins that are labeled with methyl groups of the (13)CHD(2) variety. The measurement is accomplished by selecting a magnetization mode that to excellent approximation relaxes in a single-exponential manner with a T(1)-like rate. The combination of R(1)((13)CHD(2)) and R(2)((13)CHD(2)) (2)H relaxation rates facilitates the extraction of motional parameters from (13)CHD(2)-labeled proteins exclusively. The utility of the methodology is demonstrated with applications to proteins with tumbling times ranging from 2 ns (protein L, 7.5 kDa, 45 degrees C) to 54 ns (malate synthase G, 82 kDa, 37 degrees C); dynamics parameters are shown to be in excellent agreement with those obtained in (2)H NMR studies of other methyl isotopomers. A consistency relationship is found to exist between R(1)((13)CHD(2)) and the relaxation rates of pure longitudinal and quadrupolar order modes in (13)CH(2)D-labeled methyl groups, and experimental rates measured for a number of proteins are shown to be in excellent agreement with expectations based on theory. The present methodology extends the applicability of (2)H relaxation methods for the quantification of side-chain dynamics in high molecular weight proteins.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
