โฆ Synopsis
A method is presented for the calculation of REDOR dephasing for specifically labeled membrane-spanning peptides in uniformly aligned lipid bilayers under magic angle oriented sample spinning (MAOSS) conditions. Numerical simulations are performed for dephasing of 13 C signal by 15 N when the labels are placed in an โฃ-helical peptide at the carbonyl of residue (i) and amide nitrogen of residue (i ุ 2) to show the dependency of REDOR echo intensity on the peptide tilt angle relative to the membrane normal. The approach was applied to the labeled transmembrane domain of phospholamban ([ 15 N-Leu 37 , 13 C-Leu 39 ]PLBTM) incorporated into dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers. The dephasing observed for a random membrane dispersion showed that the peptide was โฃ-helical in the region including the two labels, and dephasing in oriented membranes showed that the peptide helix was tilted by 25ยฐุ 7ยฐrelative to the bilayer normal. These results agree with those obtained by other spectroscopic methods.

The orientations of helical peptides in membrane bilayers provide important structural information that is directly relevant to their functional roles, both alone and within the context of larger membrane proteins.
