Abstract
The human myelin protein P2 is a membrane binding protein believed to maintain correct lipid composition and organization in peripheral nerve myelin. Its function is related to its ability to stack membranes, and this function can be enhanced by the P38G mutation, whereby the overall protein structure does not change but the molecular dynamics increase. Mutations in P2 are linked to human peripheral neuropathy. Here, the dynamics of wild-type P2 and the P38G variant were studied using quasielastic neutron scattering on time scales from 10 ps to 1 ns at 300 K. The results suggest that the mutant protein dynamics are increased on both the fastest and the slowest measured time scales, by increasing the dynamics amplitude and/or the portion of atoms participating in the movement.
