Abstract
Conformational heterogeneity is critical to understanding protein function but challenging to quantify. Experimental approaches that can provide sufficient temporal and spatial resolution to measure even rapidly interconverting states at specific locations in proteins are needed to fully elucidate the contribution of conformational heterogeneity and dynamics to function. Infrared spectroscopy in combination with the introduction of carbon deuterium bonds, which provide frequency-resolved probes of their environments, can uncover rapidly interconverting states with residue-specific detail. Using this approach, we quantify conformational heterogeneity of proline-rich peptides associated with different proline backbone conformations, as well as reveal their dependence on the sequence context.
