The conformational heterogeneity of a folded protein can affect both its function but also stability and folding. We recently discovered and characterized a stabilized double mutant (L49I/I57V) of the protein CI2 and showed that state-of-the-art prediction methods could not predict the increased stability relative to the wild-type protein. Here we have examined whether changed native state dynamics, and resulting entropy changes, can explain the stability changes in the double mutant protein, as well as the two single mutant forms. We have combined NMR relaxation measurements of the ps-ns dynamics of amide groups in the backbone and the methyl groups in the side-chains with molecular dynamics simulations to quantify the native state dynamics. The NMR experiments reveal that the mutations have different effects on the conformational flexibility of CI2: A reduction in conformational dynamics (and entropy) of the native state of L49I variant correlates with its decreased stability, while increased dynamics of the I57V and L49I/I57V variants correlates with their increased stability. These findings suggest that explicitly accounting for changes in native state entropy might be needed to improve the predictions of the effect of mutations on protein stability.

Though the structures presented in crystallographic models of macromolecules appear to possess rock-like solidity, real proteins and nucleic acids are not particularly rigid. Most structural work to date has centred upon the native state of macromolecules, the most probable macromolecular form. But the native state of a molecule is merely its most abundant form, certainly not its only form. Thermodynamics requires that all other possible structural forms, however improbable, must also exist, albeit with representation corresponding to the factor exp( — Gi/RT) for each state of free energy Gi (see Moelwyn-Hughes, 1961), and one appreciates that each molecule within a population of molecules will in time explore the vast ensemble of possible structural states.
