Electrostatic interactions are known to play a major role in the myriad of
biochemical and biophysical processes. Here, we describe biophysical methods to
probe local electrostatic potentials of proteins and lipid bilayer systems that
are based on an observation of reversible protonation of nitroxides by electron
paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Two types of probes are described: (1)
methanethiosulfonate derivatives of protonatable nitroxides for highly specific
covalent modification of the cysteine's sulfhydryl groups and (2) spin-labeled
phospholipids with a protonatable nitroxide tethered to the polar head group. The
probes of both types report on their ionization state through changes in magnetic
parameters and degree of rotational averaging, thus, allowing the electrostatic
contribution to the interfacial pKa of the nitroxide, and, therefore, the local
electrostatic potential to be determined. Due to their small molecular volume,
these probes cause a minimal perturbation to the protein or lipid system.
Covalent attachment secures the position of the reporter nitroxides. Experimental
procedures to characterize and calibrate these probes by EPR, and also the
methods to analyze the EPR spectra by simulations are outlined. The ionizable
nitroxide labels and the nitroxide-labeled phospholipids described so far cover
an exceptionally wide range of ca. 2.5-7.0 pH units, making them suitable to
study a broad range of biophysical phenomena, especially at the negatively
charged lipid bilayer surfaces. The rationale for selecting proper
electrostatically neutral interface for probe calibration, and examples of lipid
bilayer surface potential studies, are also described.
