Abstract
This publication, in honour of Robert Kaptein's 80th birthday, contains contributions from colleagues, many of whom have worked with him, and others who admire his work and have been stimulated by his research. The contributions show current research in biomolecular NMR, spin hyperpolarisation and spin chemistry, including CIDNP (chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation), topics to which he has contributed enormously. His proposal of the radical pair mechanism was the birth of the field of spin chemistry, and the laser CIDNP NMR experiment on a protein was a major breakthrough in hyperpolarisation research. He set milestones for biomolecular NMR by developing computational methods for protein structure determination, including restrained molecular dynamics and 3D NMR methodology. With a lac repressor headpiece, he determined one of the first protein structures determined by NMR. His studies of the lac repressor provided the first examples of detailed studies of protein nucleic acid complexes by NMR. This deepened our understanding of protein DNA recognition and led to a molecular model for protein sliding along the DNA. Furthermore, he played a leading role in establishing the cluster of NMR large-scale facilities in Europe. This editorial gives an introduction to the publication and is followed by a biography describing his contributions to magnetic resonance.

Abstract
Photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) is a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) phenomenon which, among other things, is exploited to extract information on biomolecular structure via probing solvent-accessibilities of tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), and histidine (His) amino acid side chains both in polypeptides and proteins in solution. The effect, normally triggered by a (laser) light-induced photochemical reaction in situ, yields both positive and/or negative signal enhancements in the resulting NMR spectra which reflect the solvent exposure of these residues both in equilibrium and during structural transformations in "real time". As such, the method can offer - qualitatively and, to a certain extent, quantitatively - residue-specific structural and kinetic information on both the native and, in particular, the non-native states of proteins which, often, is not readily available from more routine NMR techniques. In this review, basic experimental procedures of the photo-CIDNP technique as applied to amino acids and proteins are discussed, recent improvements to the method highlighted, and future perspectives presented. First, the basic principles of the phenomenon based on the theory of the radical pair mechanism (RPM) are outlined. Second, a description of standard photo-CIDNP applications is given and it is shown how the effect can be exploited to extract residue-specific structural information on the conformational space sampled by unfolded or partially folded proteins on their "path" to the natively folded form. Last, recent methodological advances in the field are highlighted, modern applications of photo-CIDNP in the context of biological NMR evaluated, and an outlook into future perspectives of the method is given.

Abstract
Colipase is a key element in the lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of dietary lipids. Although devoid of enzymatic activity, colipase promotes the pancreatic lipase activity in physiological intestinal conditions by anchoring the enzyme at the surface of lipid droplets. Analysis of structures of NMR colipase models and simulations of their interactions with various lipid aggregates, lipid droplet, and bile salt micelle, were carried out to determine and to map the lipid binding sites on colipase. We show that the micelle and the oil droplet bind to the same side of colipase 3D structure, mainly the hydrophobic fingers. Moreover, it appears that, although colipase has a single direction of interaction with a lipid interface, it does not bind in a specific way but rather oscillates between different positions. Indeed, different NMR models of colipase insert different fragments of sequence in the interface, either simultaneously or independently. This supports the idea that colipase finger plasticity may be crucial to adapt the lipase activity to different lipid aggregates.

Abstract
Procolipase is the precursor of colipase, which acts as protein cofactor for the activity of pancreatic lipase. The solution structure of procolipase has been determined by 1H NMR using two- and three-dimensional measurements. The secondary structure determination identified two separate three-stranded beta-sheet regions with concomitant hydrogen bond patterns. The tertiary structure of the protein was determined using 863 non-trivial proton--proton distance constraints, 14 hydrogen bond distance constraints and 55 phi and 25 X1 dihedral constraints. The structure that was obtained from distance geometry and energy refinement contains three highly disordered loops as well as a disordered N- and C-terminal region. The remaining part of the structure is well defined with a root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) relative to the average of 0.09 +/- 0.02 nm for backbone atoms (residues 11-30, 37-50, 57-69, 83-89). The protein comprises two identical domains, each containing a three-strand beta-sheet and two disulfide bonds: a 15-residue region in each domain superimposes with 0.07 nm rmsd, measured on backbone atoms. The solution structure is nearly identical to the crystal structure. It is in agreement with previous NMR data and, in combination with these data, supports the current model of procolipase micelle interaction and the lipase activation by colipase.

Abstract
Comparison of the primary structures of pancreatic colipases from man, pig, horse and rat shows a high degree of homology between proteins. Fifty-two out of the 95 residues of the polypeptide are identical. All colipases contain 10 half-cystines which are located at invariant positions. The secondary structure of colipases has been predicted from the sequence using the statistical method of Chou and Fasman and the method of Gibrat, Garnier and Robson based on information theory. Predictions indicate that colipases have a low content of alpha-helix and beta-strand structure. The two segments at positions 7-10 and 56-59, assumed to be part of the lipid binding domain, have predicted beta-sheet conformation and should be in close spatial vicinity to each other in the proteins. Four beta-turns are predicted in all colipases at positions 3-6, 46-49, 61-64, and 81-84. They might contribute, with the five disulfide bridges, to a tight packing of the protein molecule. Surface residues and major sequential antigenic determinants of mammalian colipases have been predicted using methods based either on hydrophilicity/hydropathy scales or amino acid mutability. From these studies, it appears that colipases exhibit large conformational homologies. In the absence of data on the tertiary structure of colipase, predictive methods, together with physico-chemical and immunological studies, provide valuable information on the conformation of the protein in relation to the topology of residues involved in the functional and antigenic sites.

Abstract
A photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation (photo-CIDNP) study is presented of the amino acids that are polarisable with a flavin dye. These include derivatives of tryptophan, tyrosine, histidine, methylated lysines and methionine. The influence of pH, concentration and chemical modification on the magnitude of the CIDNP effect has been studied to obtain mechanistic information about the radical pair formation. The pH and concentration dependence of tyrosine and tryptophan polarisation could be accounted for quantitatively. The CIDNP evidence indicates that hydrogen-atom abstraction is important in generating radical pairs in the case of histidine and tyrosine, while electron transfer prevails in the case of tryptophan, the methylated lysines and methionine.

Abstract
By hydrolyzing the dietary triacylglycerols, pancreatic lipase causes catalysis in heterogeneous medium. In vivo, lipase action cannot take place without colipase due to the presence of bile salts. The cofactor enables lipase anchoring to the water-lipid interface. The lipase-colipase system furnishes an excellent example of specific interactions (protein-protein and protein-lipid). The studies of lipase catalytic properties brought to light the importance of certain parameters related to the 'quality of the interface'. The structure-function relationship analyses revealed a certain number of functional amino acid residues in lipase and colipase involved either in the catalytic site of the enzyme or in the recognition sites (lipase-colipase and protein-interface). Comparisons of the sequences of lipases derived from different sources display interesting similarities in certain cases.

Abstract
Fluorescence techniques have been employed to study the interaction of porcine and equine colipase with pure taurodeoxycholate and mixed micelles. Nitrotyrosine-55 of porcine colipase is obtained by modification with tetranitromethane (low excess, in the presence of taurodeoxycholate) of the protein followed by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Verification of the residue modified was obtained by h.p.l.c. peptide purification and sequence analysis. Reduction and quantitative reaction with dansyl chloride yields a fluorescent derivative that is twice as active in conjunction with lipase as is native colipase and that exhibits a strong emission band at 550 nm. Addition of micellar concentrations of taurodeoxycholate causes a 4.3-fold increase in the emission maximum as well as a 70 nm blue shift to 480 nm. Inclusion of oleic acid to form a mixed micelle reduces these spectral effects. Scatchard analysis of the data yield a Kd of 6.8 X 10(-4) M and a single colipase-binding site for taurodeoxycholate micelles. The data, by analogy to a phospholipase system, are consistent with a direct insertion of dansyl-NH-tyrosine-55 into the micelle. The presence of a single tryptophan residue (Trp-52) in equine colipase provides an intrinsic fluorescent probe for studying protein-micelle interaction. The emission maximum of horse colipase at 345 nm indicates a solvent-accessible tryptophan residue which becomes less so on binding of micelles. A blue shift of 8 nm and a 2-fold increase in amplitude is indicative of a more hydrophobic environment for tryptophan induced by taurodeoxycholate micelles. There is also a decrease in KSV for acrylamide quenching in the presence of micelles, which further supports a loss of solvent accessibility. The most dramatic pH effects are observed with KI quenching, and may indicate the presence of negative charges near Trp-52.

Abstract
Pig and horse colipases contain three tyrosine residues. In addition, horse colipase possesses a tryptophan residue. Some of the tyrosine residues are involved in the association of colipase and a bile salt micelle. The present report demonstrates that the aromatic residues responsible for colipase fluorescence are in an aqueous environment. In the presence of bile salt micelles, changes in colipase fluorescence properties indicate that the intrinsic fluorophores are located in a more hydrophobic environment upon colipase-micelle complex formation. In addition, the fluorescence of an NBD group fixed on lysine 60, which is very close to the aromatic region in the pig colipase, is also altered in the presence of micelles. These results show that the micelle binding site is not limited to the tyrosine residues but may be broadened to adjacent residues such as lysine 60 and also tryptophan 52 in horse colipase.

Abstract
The amino acid sequence of an activated colipase purified from human pancreas was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 86 amino acids (human colipase86) and has a molecular weight of 9289. The sequence was determined by automated Edman degradation of the reduced and S-carboxymethylated protein and of two CNBr peptides. Sequence determination of porcine procolipase II was also performed, which showed that in the original sequence determination apparently two residues were missed. These residues were determined to be a leucine at position 37 and a serine in position 50. For comparison with porcine and equine procolipases, the residues composing human colipase are numbered from 6 to 91. No human procolipase has been isolated so far. The colipases from man, pig, horse and chicken show a high degree of homology: human colipase differs from the other proteins by substitutions of 19 (porcine), 24 (equine A) and 21 (equine B) residues, respectively.

Abstract
The nitration of the long form (N-terminal valine) of porcine pancreatic colipase with tetranitromethane was investigated under a variety of conditions. Fractionation of the nitrated monomers on DE-cellulose led to well-defined derivatives containing one, two and three nitrotyrosines per mol. Automated Edman degradation of the nitrated peptides, especially that of the staphylococcal proteinase peptide (49-64) showed that Tyr-54 was nitrated very fast under all conditions. This residue was the only one to be nitrated in water. Partial nitration of Tyr-59 was induced by bile salt micelles, while both Tyr-59 and Tyr-58 reacted extensively in the presence of lysophosphatidylcholine micelles (in which tetranitromethane is concentrated 150-fold compared to water) or of a liquid tetranitromethane-water interface. The strong negative Cotton effect at 410 nm which has already been observed using unfractionated preparations of nitrated colipase (Behnke W.D. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 708, 118-123) is linked with the nitration of Tyr-59 and it is markedly reduced by taurodeoxycholate micelles, suggesting a conformational change induced by the micelles in the tyrosine region. Moreover, the pKa of the nitrotyrosine residues in nitrated colipase is the same as that of free nitrotyrosine (pKa = 6.8) and it is shifted to 7.6 in the presence of taurodeoxycholate micelles. Micelles protected colipase against polymerization during nitration. These data suggest that Tyr-58 and Tyr-59 are part of the interface recognition site of colipase. The participation of Tyr-55 in binding is not excluded. The upwards nitrotyrosine pKa shift in the colipase micelle complex may explain why nitrated colipase can reactivate lipase in a triacylglycerol-taurodeoxycholate system at pH 7.5.

Abstract
Porcine pancreatic colipase was reacted with a large excess of tetranitromethane in a two-phase system. Modification of tyrosine to produce nitrotyrosine generates extrinsic Cotton effects near 410 nm in the visible region which are not affected by submicellar concentrations of taurodeoxycholate. On the other hand, supramicellar concentrations specifically altered the spectrum near 350 nm. The total reaction products included both inter- and intramolecular cross-links and the initial mixture can be separated into monomers and polymers (dimers). Despite the complicated reactions that have taken place, the monomer has maintained full activity in a tributyrin-taurodeoxycholate assay system and the evidence supports a more indirect role for tyrosine in colipase interface reactions.

Abstract
The complete primary structure of a lipase (triacylglycerol hydrolase; EC 3.1.1.3) is presented for the first time. The porcine pancreatic enzyme which was investigated is composed of a single chain of 449 amino acids. Upon fragmentation by CNBr, five peptides were obtained. The sequence of four of them (CN I-CN IV) has already been published. The present report deals with the arrangement of the 142 amino acids of the C-terminal peptide CN V, thus completing the analysis of the whole molecule. Special problems resulting from incomplete cleavage of some peptide bonds in CN V and aggregation of large peptides were overcome using Sephadex filtration of succinylated derivatives in 50% acetic acid, automated sequence analysis of peptide mixtures and subdigestion of material which could not be directly resolved. No obvious homology was found when the sequence of porcine lipase was compared with other protein, including pancreatic phospholipase A2 and colipase from the same species. However, a few similarities which might be significant were detected between the environment and relative position of certain half cystines in lipase and colipase, as well as between two tyrosine-rich regions existing in both proteins.

Abstract
The complete sequence of the 96 residues composing horse colipase B has been determined by automated analysis of the intact protein, of two CNBr peptides and two tryptic peptides arising, respectively, from the citraconylated chain and from the unreduced protein. The single histidine of the protein is located at position 29 as in horse colipase A. His86, present in the C-terminal region of the pig cofactor and supposed to play a role in the folding molecule, is not conserved in horse B. Large pieces of the pig and horse B chains were found to be identical or very similar, especially the N-terminal sequence and the central segment Ala49-Cys65 including the three tyrosines of the molecule. The four lysines and the ten half cystines are also conserved.
