Abstract

Biological applications of solid-state NMR (SS-NMR) have been predominantly in the area of model membrane systems. Increasingly the focus has been membrane peptides and proteins. SS-NMR is able to provide information about how the peptides or proteins interact with the lipids or other peptides/proteins in the membrane, their effect on the membrane and the location of the peptides or proteins relative to the membrane surface. Recent developments in biological SS-NMR have been made possible by improvements in labelling and NMR techniques. This review discusses aligned systems and magic angle spinning techniques, bilayers and bicelles, and measurement of chemical shift anisotropy and dipolar coupling. A number of specific experiments such as cross polarization, rotational resonance, REDOR, PISEMA, MAOSS and multidimensional experiments are described. In addition to 2H, 13C and 15N, recent solid-sate 1H, 19F and 17O NMR work is discussed. Several examples of the use of SS-NMR to determine the structure of membrane peptides and proteins are given.

The effects of aneurysm on the biaxial mechanical behavior of human abdominal aorta.

The biomechanical response of normal and pathologic human abdominal aortic tissue to uniaxial loading conditions is insufficient for the characterization of its three-dimensional (3D) mechanical behavior. Planar biaxial mechanical evaluation allows for 3D constitutive modeling of nearly incompressible tissues, as well as the investigation of the nature of mechanical anisotropy. In the current study, 26 abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) tissue samples and 8 age-matched (> 60 years of age) nonaneurysmal abdominal aortic (AA) tissue samples were obtained and tested using a tension-controlled biaxial testing protocol. Graphical response functions (Sun et al., 2003. J. Biomech. Eng. 125, 372-380) were used as a guide to describe the pseudo-elastic response of AA and AAA. Based on the observed pseudo-elastic response, a four-parameter exponential strain energy function developed by Vito (1990. J. Biomech. Eng. 112, 153-159) was used from which both an individual specimen and group material parameter sets were determined for both AA and AAA. Peak Green strain values in the circumferential (Ethetatheta,max) and longitudinal (ELL,max) directions under an equibiaxial tension of 120 N/m were also compared. The strain energy function fit all of the individual specimens well with an average R2 of 0.95 +/- 0.02 and 0.90 +/- 0.02 (mean +/- SEM) for the AA and AAA groups, respectively. The average Ethetatheta,max at 200 N/m equibiaxial tension was found to be significantly smaller for AAAs as compared to AAs (0.07 +/- 0.01 versus 0.13 +/- 0.03, respectively; p < 0.01). There was also a pronounced increase in the circumferential stiffness for AAA tissue as compared to AA tissue, indicating a larger degree of anisotropy for this tissue as compared to age-matched AA tissue. We also observed that the four-parameter Fung-elastic model was not able to fit the AAA tissue mechanical response using physically realistic material parameter values. It was concluded that aneurysmal degeneration of the abdominal aorta is associated with an increase in mechanical anisotropy, with preferential stiffening in the circumferential direction.

A constitutive model of the posterior cruciate ligament.

Further to our previous work on the development of a general constitutive framework for transversely isotropic viscohyperelasticity (Limbert, G, Middleton, J. A transversely isotropic viscohyperelastic material. Application to the modelling of biological soft connective tissues. Int J Solids Struct 2004;41(15):4237-60.), we propose a phenomenological constitutive law to describe the anisotropic viscohyperelastic behaviour of the human posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) at high strain rates. The mechanical formulation is based on the definition of a Helmholtz free energy function containing a hyperelastic and a viscous potential. The equations are valid for arbitrary kinematics and satisfy elemental thermodynamic principles. Identification of the constitutive model with experimental data obtained from human PCL specimens was performed and showed the ability of the model to capture accurately the mechanical characteristics of the PCL at various strain rates. Influence of the isotropic and directional viscous stress responses on the global mechanical response are discussed in connection with the modelling hypotheses. This work was motivated by the need to provide an accurate constitutive model of the PCL to be used in finite element analyses of human occupants in car crash simulations. Besides uniaxial tests along the natural fibre orientation of the PCL, additional tests such as equibiaxial, strip biaxial compression-tension and shear tests were also performed in order to assess the physical response of the model in different loading situations. It was found that the model performed as well in these conditions.

Conformations of the signal recognition particle protein Ffh from Escherichia coli as determined by FRET.

The signal recognition particle (SRP) initiates the co-translational targeting of proteins to the plasma membrane in bacteria by binding to the N-terminal signal sequence emerging from the translating ribosome. SRP in Escherichia coli is composed of one protein, Ffh, and 4.5S RNA. In the present work, we probe the structure of Ffh alone and in the complex with 4.5S RNA by measuring distances between different positions within Ffh and between Ffh and 4.5S RNA by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). According to the FRET distances, NG and M domains in free Ffh are in close contact, as in the A/A arrangement in the crystal structure of Ffh from Thermus aquaticus, in agreement with the formation of a crosslink between cysteine residues at two critical positions in the G and M domains. Upon Ffh binding to 4.5S RNA or a 61 nucleotide fragment comprising internal loops A-C, the G and M domains move apart to assume a more open conformation, as indicated by changes of FRET distances. The movement is smaller when Ffh binds to a 49 nucleotide fragment of 4.5S RNA comprising only internal loops A and B, i.e. lacking the binding site of the NG domain. The FRET results suggest that in the SRP complex 4.5S RNA is present in a bent, rather than extended, conformation. The domain rearrangement of Ffh that takes place upon formation of the SRP is probably important for subsequent steps of membrane targeting, including interactions with the translating ribosome and the SRP receptor.
