Abstract

We used UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy to quantitatively correlate the peptide bond AmIII3 frequency to its ψ Ramachandran angle and to the number and types of amide hydrogen bonds at different temperatures. This information allows us to develop a family of relationships to directly estimate the ψ Ramachandran angle from measured UVRR AmIII3 frequencies for peptide bonds (PBs) with known hydrogen bonding (HB). These relationships ignore the more modest Φ Ramachandran angle dependence and allow determination of the ψ angle with a standard error of ±8°, if the HB state of a PB is known. This is normally the case if a known secondary structure motif is studied. Further, if the HB state of a PB in water is unknown, the extreme alterations in such a state could additionally bias the ψ angle by ±6°. The resulting ability to measure ψ spectroscopically will enable new incisive protein conformational studies, especially in the field of protein folding. This is because any attempt to understand reaction mechanisms requires elucidation of the relevant reaction coordinate(s). The ψ angle is precisely the reaction coordinate that determines secondary structure changes. As shown elsewhere (Mikhonin et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 727, 7712), this correlation can be used to determine portions of the energy landscape along the ψ reaction coordinate. © 2006 American Chemical Society.
