Intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions are central to many biological processes but difficult to characterize at atomic resolution. Nuclear magnetic resonance is particularly well-suited for providing structural and dynamical information on intrinsically disordered proteins, but existing NMR methodologies need to be constantly refined to provide greater sensitivity and resolution, particularly to capitalise on the potential of high magnetic fields to investigate large proteins. In this paper, we describe how 15N-detected 2D NMR experiments can be optimised for better performance. We show that using selective aliphatic 1H decoupling in N-TROSY type experiments results in significant increases in sensitivity and resolution for a prototypical intrinsically disordered protein, α-synuclein, as well as for a heterogeneous intrinsically disordered region of a large multidomain protein, CBP-ID4. We also investigated the performance of incorporating longitudinal relaxation enhancement in N-TROSY experiments, both with and without aliphatic 1H decoupling, and discussed the findings in light of the available information for the two systems.

15N-Detected TROSY NMR experiments to study large disordered proteins in high-field magnets
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins are critical in the regulation of biological processes but difficult to study structurally. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is uniquely equipped to provide structural information on IDRs at atomic resolution; however, existing NMR methods often pose a challenge for large molecular weight IDRs. Resonance assignment of IDRs using ^(15)N^(D)-detection was previously demonstrated and shown to overcome some of these limitations. Here, we improve...

Nitrogen-detected TROSY yields comparable sensitivity to proton-detected TROSY for non-deuterated, large proteins under physiological salt conditions
Nitrogen-detected TROSY yields comparable sensitivity to proton-detected TROSY for non-deuterated, large proteins under physiological salt conditions
Abstract
Direct detection of the TROSY component of proton-attached 15N nuclei (15N-detected TROSY) yields high quality spectra with high field magnets, by taking advantage of the slow 15N transverse relaxation. The slow transverse relaxation and narrow line width of the 15N-detected TROSY resonances are expected to compensate for the inherently low 15N sensitivity. However, the sensitivity of...

HN-NCA heteronuclear TOCSY-NH experiment for 1 H N and 15 N sequential correlations in ( 13 C, 15 N) labelled intrinsically disordered proteins
HN-NCA heteronuclear TOCSY-NH experiment for 1 H N and 15 N sequential correlations in ( 13 C, 15 N) labelled intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
A simple triple resonance NMR experiment that leads to the correlation of the backbone amide resonances of each amino acid residue â??iâ?? with that of residues â??iâ??1â?? and â??i+1â?? in (13C, 15N) labelled intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is presented. The experimental scheme, {HN-NCA heteronuclear TOCSY-NH}, exploits the favourable relaxation properties of IDPs and the presence of 1 ...

New 13C-detected experiments for the assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
New 13C-detected experiments for the assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
NMR assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) by conventional HN-detected methods is hampered by the small dispersion of the amide protons chemical shifts and exchange broadening of amide proton signals. Therefore several alternative assignment strategies have been proposed in the last years. Attempting to seize that dispersion of 13Câ?² and 15N chemical shifts holds even in IDPs, we recently proposed two 13C-detected experiments to directly...
