Heteronuclear NMR relaxation measurements and hydro-gen exchange data have been used to characterize protein dynamics in the presence or absence of stabilizing solutes from hyperthermophiles. Rubredoxin from Desulfovibrio gigaswas selected as a model protein and the effect of diglycerol phosphate on its dynamic behaviour was studied. The presence of 100 mMdiglycerol phosphate induces a fourfold increase in the half-life for thermal denaturation ofD. | Eur. J.

A model-free analysis of the protein backbone relaxation parameters shows an average increase of generalized order parameters of reflecting a small overall reduction in mobility of fast-scale motions. Hydrogen exchange data acquired over a temperature span of 20 C yielded thermodynamic parameters for the structural opening reactions that allow for the exchange. This shows that the closed form of the protein is stabilized by an additional kJ-mol-1 in the presence of the solute. The results seem to indicate that the stabilizing effect is due mainly to a reduction in mobility of the slower larger-scale motions within the protein structure with an associated increase in the enthalpy of interactions.
