Abstract
At low pH human growth hormone (hGH) adopts a partially folded state in which the native helices are maintained but the long loop regions and side-chain packing becomes disordered. Some of the S2 order parameters for backbone N-H vectors derived from NMR relaxation measurements for the hGH at low pH initially seem contradictory. Three isolated residues (15, 20 and 171) in helices A and D exhibit low order-parameter values (< 0.5) indicating flexibility while residue 143 in the centre of a long flexible loop region has a high order parameter (0.82). Using S2 order-parameter restraining MD simulations this paradox is solved. Low S2 values in helices are due to the presence of a mixture of 3_10-helical and alpha-helical hydrogen bonds. High S2 values in relatively disordered parts of a protein may be due to fluctuating networks of hydrogen bonds between backbone and side chains, which restrict the motion of N-H bond vectors.
