We present a comprehensive analysis of protein dynamics for a micro-crystallin protein in the solid-state. Experimental data include ¹⁵N T ₁ relaxation times measured at two different magnetic fields as well as ¹H-¹⁵N dipole, ¹⁵N CSA cross correlated relaxation rates which are sensitive to the spectral density function J(0) and are thus a measure of T ₂ in the solid-state. In addition, global order parameters are included from a ¹H,¹⁵N dipolar recoupling experiment. The data are analyzed within the framework of the extended model-free Clore-Lipari-Szabo theory. We find slow motional correlation times in the range of 5 and 150 ns. Assuming a wobbling in a cone motion, the amplitude of motion of the respective amide moiety is on the order of 10° for the half-opening angle of the cone in most of the cases. The experiments are demonstrated using a perdeuterated sample of the chicken α-spectrin SH3 domain.
