(S10) Ultimately, by solving equations S5 and S6 using equations S7 and S8 with respect to π΄ ππ , the conditional populations of all three rotameric states in both the major (ground) and the minor (excited) conformational states can be expressed in terms of π΄ measured parameters and one unknown population (ππ ): 1 ππ‘π΄ = 2 − 1 πππ΄ = 2 − π΄ ππ 2 π΄ ππ 2 1 ΔπΏ πΆπ +2 (S11) ΔπΏπΎ 1 ΔπΏ πΆπ −2 (S12) ΔπΏπΎ π΄ π΄ ππ = ππ 1 ππ‘π΅ = 2 − 1 πππ΅ = 2 − (S13) π΄ ππ 2 π΄ ππ 2 1 ΔπΏ πΆπ +2 ΔπΏπΎ 1 ΔπΏ πΆπ −2 ΔπΏπΎ − Δππ‘ (S14) − Δππ (S15) π΅ π΄ ππ = ππ + Δππ‘ + Δππ .

(S20) (S21) (S22) Quantification of population shuffling within the millisecond time-scale for valine For valine, chemical shifts for the πΎ1 and πΎ2 methyl groups in [13C,1H]-HSQC spectra originate from the major population state and thus the carbon chemical shifts ο€ο§1 and ο€ο§2 can be described as a population weighted sum of the three rotameric states (Figure S1): π΄ πΏπΎ1 = ππ‘π΄ πΏπ‘ + πππ΄ πΏπ + ππ πΏπ‘ (S23) π΄ πΏπΎ2 = ππ‘π΄ πΏπ‘ + πππ΄ πΏπ‘ + ππ πΏπ , (S24) where πΏπ‘ and πΏπ are the chemical shifts of trans and gauche in terms of the ο§-gauche effect, respectively. πππ΄ is the conditional populations of trans (π‘), gauche+ (π), or gauche- (π) rotameric states in the major population state (π΄). Figure S1: Newman projections of valine rotameric states, where the dihedral angle involving the πΎ1 and πΎ2 methyl groups is either in the trans (π‘), gauche+ (π), or gauche- (π) state. Thus, the difference between chemical shifts of two valine methyl group carbons is given by: π΄ π΄ ΔπΏ πΆπ = πΏπΎ1 − πΏπΎ2 = ππ ΔπΏπΎ − πππ΄ ΔπΏπΎ = (ππ − πππ΄ )ΔπΏπΎ (S25) where ΔπΏπΎ = πΏπ‘ − πΏπ = 5 ppm originates from the ο§-gauche effect.[1] As measured by π π·, the chemical shift difference between the major population state (πΏ π΄ ) and the minor population state (πΏ π΅ ) is Δδπ π· = πΏ π΄ − πΏ π΅ . In the case of valine, the chemical shift difference measured for the πΎ1 and πΎ2 methyl group carbons by π π· is: π π· π΄ π΅ βπΏπΎ1 = πΏπΎ1 − πΏπΎ1 (S26) π π· π΄ π΅ βπΏπΎ2 = πΏπΎ2 − πΏπΎ2 . (S27) π π· π π· Both βπΏπΎ1 and βπΏπΎ2 can be written in terms of the change in the conditional population of either the trans (Δππ‘ ) or the gauche+ (Δππ ) rotameric states and the ο§gauche effect (ΔπΏπΎ ) as follows: π π· π΄ π΅ βπΏπΎ1 = ππ‘π΄ πΏπ‘ + πππ΄ πΏπ + ππ πΏπ‘ − ππ‘π΅ πΏπ‘ − πππ΅ πΏπ − ππ πΏπ‘ (S28) π π· π΄ π΅ βπΏπΎ2 = ππ‘π΄ πΏπ‘ + πππ΄ πΏπ‘ + ππ πΏπ − ππ‘π΅ πΏπ‘ − πππ΅ πΏπ‘ − ππ πΏπ (S29) Grouping like terms together yields the following formulations: π π· π΄ π΅ )πΏ π΄ π΅ βπΏπΎ1 = (ππ‘π΄ + ππ − ππ‘π΅ − ππ π‘ + (ππ − ππ )πΏπ (S30) π π· π΄ π΅ )πΏ βπΏπΎ2 = (ππ‘π΄ + πππ΄ − ππ‘π΅ − πππ΅ )πΏπ‘ + (ππ − ππ π (S31) Since the conditional populations of the three rotameric states must equal one as shown in equations 10 and 11, Δππ and Δππ can be expressed in terms of π‘, π, and π: π΄ π΅) Δππ = −(πππ΄ − πππ΅ ) = (ππ‘π΄ + ππ − ππ‘π΅ − ππ (S32) π΄ π΅) Δππ = −(ππ − ππ = (ππ‘π΄ + πππ΄ − ππ‘π΅ − πππ΅ ). (S33) π π· π π· From here, βπΏπΎ1 and βπΏπΎ2 are described by the following compact equations: π π· βπΏπΎ1 = −Δππ ΔπΏπΎ (S34) π π· βπΏπΎ2 = −Δππ ΔπΏπΎ . (S35) By swapping the populations from equations S17-S22, these constraints can be applied in order to calculate lower and upper bounds on all six rotameric conditional populations for valine π1 dihedral angles. Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation Molecular models of protein structures were obtained from the Protein Data Bank, entries 2L2P[2] (I form) and 2LP5[2] (F form). The NMR structure files contained multiple models, and the first model in the PDB file was selected for AMBER MD simulations.[3] The force fields used were ff14SB, ff12SB, ff99SB-ildn, and ff99SB, and the system was solvated in a rectilinear box of TIP3P water molecules with 15 Å buffers and neutralizing Na+ ions were added to the protein using standard Leap rules. The system was heated and equilibrated using the following protocol: (i) minimize water and ions holding the protein fixed (50 kcal/mol/Å), (ii) 25 ps MD (heating to 100 K) holding the protein fixed, (iii) repeat step (i), (iv) minimize all atoms, (v) 25 ps MD (heating to 300 K) holding the protein fixed (ii), (vi) 10 ns MD (T = 300 K) equilibration holding the protein fixed (10 kcal/mol/Å) to finish the equilibrium. Production runs of 500 ns after the final equilibration step were carried out to obtain snapshots at 20 ps interval for a total of 25,000 snapshots. Simulations were performed in the isothermal isobaric ensemble (P = 1 atm, T = 300 K) using sander and the GPU version of pmemd. Periodic boundary conditions and Particle-MeshEwald algorithms were used. A 2.0 fs time step was used with bonds involving hydrogen atoms frozen using SHAKE. Analysis of the trajectory was performed using the cpptraj module of the AmberTools 15 Package.[3] Leucine ο£2 dihedral angles were binned as gauche+ (0°-120°), trans (121°-240°), and gauche- (241°-360°) rotamers (Figures S2, S3, S4, and S5).
