Abstract
Although functional significance of large noncoding RNAs and their complexes with proteins is well recognized, structural information for this class of systems is very scarce. Their inherent flexibility causes problems in crystallographic approaches, while their typical size is beyond the limits of state-of-the-art purely NMR-based approaches. Here, we review an approach that combines high-resolution NMR restraints with lower resolution long-range constraints based on site-directed spin labeling and measurements of distance distribution restraints in the range between 15 and 80Å by the four-pulse double electron-electron resonance (DEER) EPR technique. We discuss sample preparation, the basic assumptions behind data analysis in the EPR-based distance measurements, treatment of the label-based constraints in generation of the structure, and the back-calculation of distance distributions for structure validation. Step-by-step protocols are provided for DEER distance distribution measurements including data analysis and for CYANA based structure calculation using combined NMR and EPR data.

Combining NMR ensembles and molecular dynamics simulations provides more realistic models of protein structures in solution and leads to better chemical shift prediction
Abstract While chemical shifts are invaluable for obtaining structural information from proteins, they also offer one of the rare ways to obtain information about protein dynamics. A necessary tool in transforming chemical shifts into structural and dynamic information is chemical shift prediction. In our previous work we developed a method for 4D prediction of protein 1H chemical shifts in which molecular motions, the...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 41(3); pp 113 - 120
Abstract:
Currently the main focus of structural biology is the determination of static three-dimensional representations of biomolecules that for the most part correspond to low energy (ground state) conformations. However, it is becoming increasingly well recognized that higher energy structures often play important roles in function as well. Because these conformers...
