摘要：

A novel approach for the simulation of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra was used to combine molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with experimental data. Reorientational dynamics trajectories of a sequence of nitroxide side chains attached to cysteine substitution mutants of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) were calculated by means of MD simulations. EPR spectra calculated from these data were found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental spectra. Simulation of EPR difference spectra for two BR conformations reveal that experimentally detected changes of the nitroxide dynamics during the catalytic cycle of BR are consistent with a transient conformational change of helix F.
