In this review, we discuss the experimental static deuteron NMR techniques and computational approaches most useful for the investigation of side-chain dynamics in protein systems. Focus is placed on the interpretation of line shape and relaxation data within the framework of motional modeling. We consider both jump and diffusion models and apply them to uncover glassy behaviors, conformational exchange and dynamical transitions in proteins. Applications are chosen from globular and membrane proteins, amyloid fibrils, peptide adsorbed on surfaces and proteins specific to connective tissues.
