Previous studies by Wishart et al. [Wishart, D. S., Sykes, B. D., & Richards, F. M. (1991) J. Mol. Biol. (in press)] have demonstrated that 1H NMR chemical shifts are strongly dependent on the character and nature of protein secondary structure. In particular, it has been found that the 1H NMR chemical shift of the alpha-CH proton of all 20 naturally occurring amino acids experiences an upfield shift (with respect to the random coil value) when in a helical configuration and a comparable downfield shift when in a beta-strand extended configuration. On the basis of these observations, a technique is described for rapidly and quantitatively determining the identity, extent, and location of secondary structural elements in proteins based on the simple inspection of the alpha-CH 1H resonance assignments. A number of examples are provided to demonstrate both the simplicity and the accuracy of the technique. This new method is found to be almost as accurate as the more traditional NOE-based methods of determining secondary structure and could prove to be particularly useful in light of the recent development of sequential assignment techniques which are now almost NOE-independent [Ikura, M., Kay, L. E., & Bax, A. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 4659-4667]. We suggest that this new procedure should not necessarily be seen as a substitute to existing rigorous methods for secondary structure determination but, rather, should be viewed as a complement to these approaches.

A simple biosynthetic method for stereospecific resonance assignment of prochiral methyl groups in proteins
Abstract A new method for stereospecific assignment of prochiral methyl groups in proteins is presented in which protein samples are produced using U-glucose and subsaturating amounts of 2-methyl-acetolactate. The resulting non-uniform labeling pattern allows proR and proS methyl groups to be easily distinguished by their different phases in a constant-time two-dimensional 1H-13C correlation spectra. Protein samples are conveniently prepared using the same media composition as the...

A simple method for measuring signs of 1HN chemical shift differences between ground
Abstract NMR relaxation dispersion spectroscopy is a powerful method for studying protein conformational dynamics whereby visible, ground and invisible, excited conformers interconvert on the millisecond time-scale. In addition to providing kinetics and thermodynamics parameters of the exchange process, the CPMG dispersion experiment also allows extraction of the absolute values of the chemical shift differences between interconverting states,

The predictive accuracy of secondary chemical shifts is more affected by protein seco
Abstract Biomolecular NMR spectroscopy frequently employs estimates of protein secondary structure using secondary chemical shift (Î?δ) values, measured as the difference between experimental and random coil chemical shifts (RCCS). Most published random coil data have been determined in aqueous conditions, reasonable for non-membrane proteins, but potentially less relevant for membrane proteins. Two new RCCS sets are presented here, determined in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and chloroform:methanol:water (4:4:1 by volume) at 298 K. A web-based program, CS-CHEMeleon, has been implemented to...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2007; 39(2); pp 107 - 131
Abstract:
Chemical shift assignment is the first step in all established protocols for structure determination of uniformly labeled proteins by NMR. The explosive growth in recent years of magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR (SSNMR) applications is largely attributable to improved methods for backbone and side-chain chemical shift correlation...
