A chemical approach for site-specific identification of NMR signals from protein side-chain NH 3 + groups forming intermolecular ion pairs in proteinâ??nucleic acid complexes
A chemical approach for site-specific identification of NMR signals from protein side-chain NH 3 + groups forming intermolecular ion pairs in proteinâ??nucleic acid complexes
Proteinâ??nucleic acid interactions involve intermolecular ion pairs of protein side-chain and DNA or RNA phosphate groups. Using three proteinâ??DNA complexes, we demonstrate that site-specific oxygen-to-sulfur substitution in phosphate groups allows for identification of NMR signals from the protein side-chain NH3 + groups forming the intermolecular ion pairs. A characteristic change in their 1H and 15N resonances upon this modification (i.e., substitution of phosphate to phosphorodithioate) can represent a signature of an intermolecular ion pair. Hydrogen-bond scalar coupling between protein side-chain 15N and DNA phosphorodithiaote 31P nuclei provides direct confirmation of the intermolecular ion pair. The same approach is likely applicable to proteinâ??RNA complexes as well.

Proteinâ??ligand structure guided by backbone and side-chain proton chemical shift perturbations
Proteinâ??ligand structure guided by backbone and side-chain proton chemical shift perturbations
Abstract
The fragment-based drug design approach consists of screening libraries of fragment-like ligands, to identify hits that typically bind the protein target with weak affinity ( \(100\,\upmu \hbox {M}\) â??5Â*mM). The determination of the proteinâ??fragment complex 3D structure constitutes a crucial step for uncovering the key interactions responsible for...

Effective strategy to assign 1H-15N heteronuclear correlation NMR signals from lysine side-chain NH3 + groups of proteins at low temperature
Abstract
Recent studies have shown that lysine side-chain NH3 + groups are excellent probes for NMR investigations of dynamics involving hydrogen bonds and ion pairs relevant to protein function. However, due to rapid hydrogen exchange, observation of 1H-15N NMR cross peaks from lysine NH3 + groups often requires use of a relatively low temperature, which...
