Abstract

The mobility of βCH2 moieties in oxidized and reduced cytochrome b 5 was studied by analyzing the 13C relaxation of the J-split components, in terms of C-H dipole–C-H dipole cross correlation rates. A 2D 13C-1H experiment is proposed to measure these rates that provide the internal effective reorientation correlation time for each CH2 moiety. It is found that higher mobility is present in the α helices forming the heme pocket. On the contrary, the β strands, which form the hydrophobic core of the molecule, have the lowest mobility. The general pattern is the same for the oxidized and reduced species, indicating that any oxidation-dependent property detected for backbone NH moieties does not affect the CH2 mobility.
