Abstract
Many protein molecules are formed by two or more domains whose structures and dynamics are closely related to their biological functions. It is thus important to develop methods to determine the structural properties of these multidomain proteins. Here, we characterize the interdomain motions in the calcium-bound state of calmodulin (Ca(2+)-CaM) using NMR chemical shifts as replica-averaged structural restraints in molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the conformational fluctuations of the interdomain linker, which are largely responsible for the interdomain motions of CaM, can be well described by exploiting the information provided by chemical shifts. We thus identify ten residues in the interdomain linker region that change their conformation upon substrate binding. Five of these residues (Met76, Lys 77, Thr79, Asp80 and Ser81) are highly flexible and cover the range of conformations observed in the substrate-bound state, while the remaining five (Arg74, Lys75, Asp78, Glu82 and Glu83) are much more rigid and do not populate conformations typical of the substrate-bound form. The ensemble of conformations representing the Ca(2+)-CaM state obtained in this study is in good agreement with residual dipolar coupling (RDC), paramagnetic resonance enhancement (PRE), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements, which were not used as restraints in the calculations. These results provide initial evidence that chemical shifts can be used to characterize the conformational fluctuations of multidomain proteins.

Analysis of and chemical shifts of cysteine and cystine residues in proteins: a quant
Abstract Cysteines possess a unique property among the 20 naturally occurring amino acids: it can be present in proteins in either the reduced or oxidized form, and can regulate the activity of some proteins. Consequently, to augment our previous treatment of the other types of residues, the
13\textC\upalpha and
13\textC\upbeta chemical shifts of 837 cysteines in disulfide-bonded cystine from a set of seven non-redundant proteins, determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, were computed at the DFT level of theory. Our results indicate that the errors between observed...

Analysis of NMR Chemical Shifts in Peptide and Protein Structure Determination
By Liya Wang (2008)
Amazon book description
Chemical shifts provide detailed information about non-covalent structure, solvent interactions, ionization constants, ring orientations, hydrogen bond interactions, and other phenomena. Since different chemical shift data sets are not necessarily comparable without corrections or adjustments, the applicability of statistical analysis of NMR chemical shifts to biomolecules has so far been limited. We use the term "congruent" to describe data sets that can be...
