Hydrogen/deuterium exchange measurements of backbone amide protons allow the identification hydrogen-bonding patterns and reveal pertinent information on the amyloid β-sheet architecture. However, they provide only little information on the identity of residues exposed to solvent or buried inside the fibril core. NMR spectroscopy is a potent method for identifying solvent-accessible residues in proteins via observation of polarization transfer between chemically exchanging side-chain protons and water protons. We show here that the combined use of highly deuterated samples and fast magic-angle spinning greatly attenuates unwanted spin diffusion and allows identification of polarization exchange with the solvent in a site-specific manner. We apply this measurement protocol to HET-s(218–289) prion fibrils under different conditions (including physiological pH, where protofibrils assemble together into thicker fibrils) and demonstrate that each protofibril of HET-s(218–289), is surrounded by water, thus excluding the existence of extended dry interfibril contacts. We also show that exchangeable side-chain protons inside the hydrophobic core of HET-s(218–289) do not exchange over time intervals of weeks to months. The experiments proposed in this study can provide insight into the detailed structural features of amyloid fibrils in general."}],"date_published":"2011-01-21T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jmb.2010.11.004","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2020-09-18T10:11:03Z","month":"01","author":[{"first_name":"Hélène","full_name":"Van Melckebeke, Hélène","last_name":"Van Melckebeke"},{"full_name":"Schanda, Paul","orcid":"0000-0002-9350-7606","last_name":"Schanda","id":"7B541462-FAF6-11E9-A490-E8DFE5697425","first_name":"Paul"},{"full_name":"Gath, Julia","last_name":"Gath","first_name":"Julia"},{"first_name":"Christian","full_name":"Wasmer, Christian","last_name":"Wasmer"},{"full_name":"Verel, René","last_name":"Verel","first_name":"René"},{"last_name":"Lange","full_name":"Lange, Adam","first_name":"Adam"},{"last_name":"Meier","full_name":"Meier, Beat H.","first_name":"Beat H."},{"last_name":"Böckmann","full_name":"Böckmann, Anja","first_name":"Anja"}],"intvolume":"       405","title":"Probing water accessibility in HET-s(218–289) amyloid fibrils by solid-state NMR","extern":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0022-2836"]},"issue":"3","year":"2011","page":"765-772","article_type":"original","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:19:30Z","oa_version":"None","quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","day":"21","status":"public","_id":"8471","publisher":"Elsevier","publication":"Journal of Molecular Biology","volume":405}
