Structure Determination of Challenging Protein-Peptide Complexes Combining NMR Chemical Shift Data and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Intrinsically disordered regions of proteins often mediate important protein-protein interactions. However, the folding-upon-binding nature of many polypeptide-protein interactions limits the ability of modeling tools to predict the three-dimensional structures of such complexes. To address this problem, we have taken a tandem approach combining NMR chemical shift data and molecular simulations to determine the structures of peptide-protein complexes. Here, we use the MELD (Modeling Employing...
