In-cell (13)C NMR spectroscopy for the study of intrinsically disordered proteins.
Nat Protoc. 2014 Sep;9(9):2005-2016

Abstract
A large number of proteins carry out their function in highly flexible and disordered states, lacking a well-defined 3D structure. These proteins, referred to as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), are now in the spotlight of modern structural biology. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy represents a unique tool for accessing atomic resolution information on IDPs in complex environments as whole cells, provided that the methods are optimized to their peculiar properties and to the characteristics of in-cell experiments. We describe procedures for the preparation of in-cell NMR samples, as well as for the setup of NMR experiments and their application to in-cell studies, using human ?-synuclein overexpressed in Escherichia coli as an example. The expressed protein is labeled with (13)C and (15)N stable isotopes to enable the direct recording of (13)C-detected NMR experiments optimized for the properties of IDPs. The entire procedure covers 24 h, including cell transformation, cell growth overnight, setup of the spectrometer and NMR experiment recording.

Abstract
Proteins, which, in their native conditions, sample a multitude of distinct conformational states characterized by high spatiotemporal heterogeneity, most often termed as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), have become a target of broad interest over the past 15years. With the growing evidence of their...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are characterized by highly flexible solvent exposed backbones and can sample many different conformations. These properties confer them functional advantages, complementary to those of folded proteins, which need to be characterized to expand our view of how protein structural and dynamic features affect...
