P-31 NMR revealed that the complex of p21(ras) with the GTP analog GppNHp . Mg2+ exists in two conformational states, states 1 and 2. In wild-type p21(ras) the equilibrium constant K-1((12)) between the two stales is 1.09. The population of these stales is different for various mutants but independent of temperature. The activation enthalpy Delta H-double dagger and activation entropy Delta S-double dagger for the conformational transitions were determined by full-exchange matrix analysis for wild-type p21(ras) and p21(ras)(S65P). For the wildtype protein one obtains Delta K-double dagger = 89 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1) and Delta S-double dagger = 102 +/- 20 J mol(-1) K-1 and for the mutant protein Delta K-double dagger = 93 +/- 7 kJ mol(-1) and Delta S-double dagger = 138 +/- 30 J mol(-1) K-1. The study of various p21(ras) mutants suggests that the two states correspond to different conformations of loop L2, with Tyr-32 in two different positions relative to the bound nucleotide. High-field EPR at 95 GHz suggests that the observed conformational transition does not directly influence the coordination sphere of the protein-bound metal ion. The influence of this transition on loop L4 was studied by H-1 NMR with mutants E62H and E63H. There was no indication that LA takes part in the transition described in L2. although a reversible conformational change could be induced by decreasing the pH value. The exchange between the two slates is slow On the NMR time scale (
