The application of deuterium labeling and residual dipolar coupling constants in combination with other structural information has demonstrated the potential for significantly expanding the range of viable protein targets for structural analysis by NMR. A previous study by Clore et al. [(1999) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 121, 6513-6514] demonstrated that a significant improvement in the overall protein structure occurs with the combination of residual dipolar coupling constants and minimal tertiary long-range distance restraints. The analysis of NMR protein structures determined with minimal structural information is extended with a particular interest in the utility of these structures for a structure-based drug design program. As an example, the catalytic fragment of human fibroblast collagenase (MMP-1) was used to follow the effect of minimal restraint sets on the protein structure and its utility in drug design with a particular interest in the effect on the active site conformation. An MMP-1 structure that was calculated with the maximal number of restraints attainable with the constraint of a deuterated protein was shown to be very similar to a high-quality MMP-1 structure that was calculated from a complete set of restraints. The superposition of the active site backbone atoms for the high-quality and minimal restraint MMP-1 structures yielded an rmsd of 0.68 A where the size and shape of the S1' pocket are nearly identical. Additionally, an MMP-1-CGS-27023A complex based on a minimal set of NOE-based restraints reliably reproduced the structure of the complex, establishing the usefulness of the structures for drug design.

Two brief plots of protein structures (protein-DNA/RNA/ligand complexes are excluded) determined by either X-ray or NMR. Structures determined by hybrid method are not counted in the two plots. The dataset was obtain from PDB based on its released statistics by May 10th, 2011. Molecules with sequence length longer than 1200 residues are also excluded.

Major groove width variations in RNA structures determined by NMR and impact of 13C r
Abstract Ribonucleic acid structure determination by NMR spectroscopy relies primarily on local structural restraints provided by 1Hâ?? 1H NOEs and J-couplings. When employed loosely, these restraints are broadly compatible with A- and B-like helical geometries and give rise to calculated structures that are highly sensitive to the force fields employed during refinement. A survey of recently reported NMR structures reveals significant variations in helical parameters, particularly the major groove width. Although helical parameters observed in high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of...

Abstract
Polytopic α-helical membrane proteins present one of the final frontiers for protein structural biology, with significant challenges causing severe under-representation in the protein structure databank. However, with the advent of hardware and methodology geared to the study of large molecular weight complexes, solution NMR is being increasingly considered as a tool...
