We have obtained deuterium (2H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and spin-lattice relaxation times (TI) of~-[t-~ H~] methionine,~-[t-~ H~] methionine in a D, L lattice, and [S-methyf-2H3] methionine in the crystalline solid state, as a function of temperature, in addition to obtaining 2H T1 and line-width results as a function of temperature on [~-~ H~] methionine-labeled sperm whale (Physeter curodon) myoglobins by using the method of magnetic ordering [Rothgeb, TM, & Oldfield, E.(1981) J. Biof. Chem. 256, 1432-14461. The results indicate that in the L-amino acid, methyl rotation having an activation energy (AE*) of 8.3 f 1 kJ dominates TI at low temperatures (5-10 “C), while at higher temperatures an additional large-amplitude side-chain motion occurs which causes changes in the ZH NMR line shape and Tl. This motion is inhibited in the D, L lattice, indicating that lattice effects may have a strong effect on the mobility of anhydrous amino acids in the solid state. Further substitution at S6 to form the sulfonium salt [S-me~ hyl-~ H~]-methionine causes a large increase in AE*, to 15.9 f 2 kJ, a value comparable to the 14-16 kJ found in valine and leucine, which contain the structurally similar isopropyl moiety. These results suggest that the very low barriers to methyl rotation xere is currently considerable interest in investigating the dynamic structures of proteins in solution, in membranes, and in the crystalline solid state (Williams, 1978; Frauenfelder et al., 1979; Frauenfelder & Petsko, 1980; Artymiuk et al., 1979; Gurd & Rothgeb, 1979; Karplus & McCammon, 1981; Keniry et al., 1982; Schramm et al., 1981; Schramm & Oldfield, 1982).
