Abstract: | The interaction of the cyclic decapeptide antibiotic gramicidin-S (GrS) with the nonionic detergent octaethylene glycol mono-n-dodecyl ether was studied by NMR spectroscopy. Detergent binding led to a slightly altered average conformation in the d-Phe side chains of the peptide. The changing diamagnetic shielding of nearby protons resulted in chemical shift variations,
the largest effect being observed for the d-Phe C
α
proton. The continuous upfield shift of this proton resonance, indicating rapid exchange of the peptide between detergent-associated
and unassociated states, was employed for an evaluation of the detergent/peptide aggregation equilibria. The nonlinear binding
plot thus obtained was attributed to essentially different aggregational states, depending on the detergent/peptide ratio.
The almost linear dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate and of the hydrogen-deuterium exchange rate on the fraction
of detergent-associated GrS could be reconciled with a simple model, comprising binding of detergent monomers and cooperative
binding of micelles at low and high detergent/peptide molar ratios, respectively. Thus, GrS provides a useful model for a
study of backbone dynamics and water penetration in detergent- and membrane-bound peptides and proteins. The results will
also be discussed with reference to the interaction of GrS with biological membranes.
