The artificial amphiphilic peptide LK alpha 14 adopts a helical structure at interfaces, with opposite orientation of its leucine (L, hydrophobic) and lysine (K, hydrophilic) side chains. When peptides are adsorbed onto surfaces, different residue side chains necessarily have different proximities to the surface, depending on both their position in the helix and the composition of the surface itself. Deuterating the individual leucine residues (isopropyl-d(7)) permits the use of solid-state deuterium NMR spectroscopy as a site-specific probe of side-chain dynamics. In conjunction with sum-frequency generation as a probe of the peptide-binding face, we demonstrate that the mobility of specific leucine side chains at the interface is quantifiable in terms of their surface proximity.
