There is growing interest in the development of physical methods to study the conformational behaviour and biological activity of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). In this review recent advances in the elucidation of quantitative descriptions of disordered proteins from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are presented. Ensemble approaches are particularly well adapted to map the conformational energy landscape sampled by the protein at atomic resolution. Significant advances in development of calibrated approaches to the statistical representation of the conformational behaviour of IDPs are presented, as well as applications to some biologically important systems where disorder plays a crucial role. Highlights
? NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the study of IDPs at atomic resolution. ? NMR probes the potential energy landscape of IDPs at short-range and long-range distances. ? IDP conformational space can be mapped using NMR and ensemble descriptions. ? Flexibility of IDPs allows their NMR observation even in large molecular complexes.

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not adopt stable three-dimensional structures in physiological conditions, yet these proteins play crucial roles in biological phenomena. In most cases, intrinsic disorder manifests itself in segments or domains of an IDP, called intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but fully disordered IDPs also exist. Although IDRs can be detected as...

The earliest clue was that some protein segments didn't show up in X-ray crystallography or NMR studies, the standard ways of studying protein structure. By the 1990s people who studied how proteins interact with DNA had noticed the proteins often ...

Indeed, much of the community's understanding of protein function rests on our ability to deduce those structures by such methods as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The immense success and explanatory power of the ...

High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract Four novel 5D (HACA(N)CONH, HNCOCACB, (HACA)CON(CA)CONH, (H)NCO(NCA)CONH), and one 6D ((H)NCO(N)CACONH) NMR pulse sequences are proposed. The new experiments employ non-uniform sampling that enables achieving high resolution in indirectly detected dimensions. The experiments facilitate resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins. The novel pulse sequences were successfully tested using δ subunit (20 kDa) of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase...

Random coil chemical shift for intrinsically disordered proteins: effects of temperature and pH
Random coil chemical shift for intrinsically disordered proteins: effects of temperature and pH
Abstract Secondary chemical shift analysis is the main NMR method for detection of transiently formed secondary structure in intrinsically disordered proteins. The quality of the secondary chemical shifts is dependent on an appropriate choice of random coil chemical shifts. We report random coil chemical shifts and sequence correction factors determined for a GGXGG peptide series following the approach of Schwarzinger et al. (J Am Chem Soc 123(13):2970â??2978, 2001). The chemical shifts are...
