15N-1H TROSY-HSQC–based folding free energy differences for apoSOD12SH variants
Variant of apoSOD12SH | ΔG0unfolding, kcal/mol* |
pWT† | 2.2 ± 0.3 |
A4V | 1.0 |
V148G | 0.3 |
H46R | 2.5 |
G85R | 1.3 |
G37R | 0.7 |
G93A | −0.2 |
E100G | 0.5 |
Values of ΔG0unfolding were calculated as , where R is the gas constant (R = 1.98 cal⋅K−1⋅mol−1), T is the absolute temperature (T = 298 K), and VN and VU are the volumes of Trp-32 indole side-chain peaks derived from native and unfolded conformers, as measured in TROSY-HSQC spectra (23). Volumes were determined by integrating peaks using the software package Sparky (50) and were not corrected for differential relaxation of native and unfolded state magnetization during the delays in the pulse sequence.
Error in the value for pWT was estimated as 1 SD about the mean of measurements made on three independent samples. The largest contribution to errors in ΔG0unfolding results from sample variability (extent of unfolding increases slightly over time, despite the absence of peaks reporting on degradation). Multiple samples were not available for disease mutants.
