  1. Abstract:

    Analysis of amide proton temperature coefficients (Deltasigma(HN)/DeltaT) in human ubiquitin shows their usefulness in indicating hydrogen bonds. The availability of a very accurate solution structure of ubiquitin enables the precise determination of hydrogen bonds and increases the reliability of the analysis of chemical shift temperature gradients. Values of Deltasigma(HN)/DeltaT more positive than - 4.6 ppb/K are very good indicators of hydrogen bonds. Additionally, a weak temperature dependence of non-hydrogen- bonded amides was observed for amide protons that are significantly shifted upfield. We observed that temperature gradients of amide protons involved in short hydrogen bonds are related to donor-acceptor distances. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
