Szabo, A.(1982) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 4546-4570], the availability of steady-state fluorescence anisotropy and lifetime data augment ThT2, and NOE data to provide quantitative information about fluorophore dynamics in these peptides. A method is presented for using combined fluorescence and NMR data to obtain technique-and model-independent values for parameters describing local motion of 13C-labeled fluorophores in peptides and proteins. The dynamics of melittin and melittin analogues are found to be consistent with structural characteristics inferred from CD, fluorescence, and NMR spectral information presented in the preceding paper (Weaver et al., 1989). Inparticular, the mobility of the random coil peptide monomers is shown to be quite similar, while side-chain as well as peptide backbone motion in the aggregated or oligomeric species differs markedly among the analogues. For melittin itself, experimentally determined overall rotational correlation times for the monomer and tetramer agree verywell with values predicted on the basis of solvent-accessible protein surface area. The local dynamics of selectively 13C-labeled Trp-19 and Gly-12 residues of melittin are also found to be consistent with peptide structure. In random coil melittin monomer, a specific model for the motion indicates that the Trp side chain moves through an approximate angle of±71 about the 0-y bond with a correlation time of 159±24 ps. In melittin tetramer, the indole moiety is spatially more confined with a flip angle of±37, yet demonstrates an increased rate of motion with a correlation time of 56±8 ps. The constrained mobility of the Trp-19 side chain is consistent with motional constraints inferred from the X-ray structure of melittin tetramer. These results show that protein side-chain motion, even of moieties as large as indole, can occur on the picosecond time scale and that these motions are reasonably similar to those inferredfrom molecular dynamics simulations. e advent of molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecule dynamics [for reviews, see Karplus and McCammon (1981) and Levy (1986)] has generated a need for experimental de-tection and quantitationof picosecond motions in macro-molecules. This realization, taken with the likely significance of such motions to protein structureand function, provides ample justification for the development of experimental methods able to demonstrate the existence of, and to quantify the amplitude and time scale of, local motions in peptides and proteins. Recent publications demonstrate the usefulness of fluorescence (Petrich et al., 1987; MacKerell et al., 1987) and NMR (Weiner et al., 1987; Rice et al., 1987; Rule et al., 1987; Brown et al., 1988) spectroscopies for the study of internal motions in proteins. One limitation inherent in the application of these methods is the uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the experimental data when only one technique is employed. In principle, however, NMR and fluorescence can be used conjointly to study the dynamics of a fluorescent group in a macromolecule.
