Abstract
Disulfide bridges establish a fundamental element in the molecular architecture of proteins and peptides which are involved e.g., in basic biological processes or acting as toxins. NMR spectroscopy is one method to characterize the structure of bioactive compounds including cystine-containing molecules. Although the disulfide bridge itself is invisible in NMR, constraints obtained via the neighboring NMR-active nuclei allow to define the underlying conformation and thereby to resolve their functional background. In this mini-review we present shortly the impact of cysteine and disulfide bonds in the proteasome from different domains of life and give a condensed overview of recent NMR applications for the characterization of disulfide-bond containing biomolecules including advantages and limitations of the different approaches.

MAS NMR detection of hydrogen bonds for protein secondary structure characterization
Abstract
Hydrogen bonds are essential for protein structure and function, making experimental access to long-range interactions between amide protons and heteroatoms invaluable. Here we show that measuring distance restraints involving backbone hydrogen atoms and carbonyl- or α-carbons enables the identification of secondary structure elements based on hydrogen bonds, provides long-range contacts and validates spectral assignments. To this end, we apply specifically...

Characterization of doubly ionic hydrogen bonds in protic ionic liquids by NMR deuteron quadrupole coupling constants - Differences to H-bonds in amides, peptides and proteins
We present the first deuteron quadrupole coupling constants (DQCC) for selected protic ionic liquids (PILs) measured by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The experimental data are supported by dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The DQCCs of the N-D bond in the triethylammonium cations are the lowest reported for deuterons in PILs indicating...

Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Abstract NOEs between the β-protons of cysteine residues across disulfide bonds in proteins provide direct information on the connectivities and conformations of these important cross-links, which are otherwise difficult to investigate. With conventional -proteins, however, fast spin diffusion processes mediated by strong dipolar interactions between geminal β-protons prohibit the quantitative measurements and thus the analyses of long-range NOEs across...
