Molecular recognition is at the base of all biological events and its knowledge at atomic level is pivotal in the development of new drug design approaches. NMR spectroscopy is one of the most widely used technique to detect and characterize transient ligand-receptor interactions in solution. In particular, ligand-based NMR approaches, including NOE-based NMR techniques, diffusion experiments and relaxation methods, are excellent tools to investigate how ligands interact with their receptors....

In this paper, we discuss methods for determining structures of protein-ligand complexes by NMR in solution. Our discussion is based on small ligands (<2 kDa) as for example drugs, metabolites or oligo-peptides, but most of the considerations also apply to more general cases. In NMR in solution, the kinetics of association and dissociation of the complex – the exchange rate –...

Abstract
Small molecule inhibitors of glycoprotein-41 (gp41) are able to prevent HIV infection by binding to a hydrophobic pocket (HP) contained within the gp41 ectodomain, and preventing progression of fusion. There is little...

Determination of ligand binding modes in weak proteinâ??ligand complexes using sparse NMR data
Determination of ligand binding modes in weak proteinâ??ligand complexes using sparse NMR data
Abstract
We describe a general approach to determine the binding pose of small molecules in weakly bound proteinâ??ligand complexes by deriving distance constraints between the ligand and methyl groups from all methyl-containing residues of the protein. We demonstrate that using a single sample, which can be prepared without the use of expensive precursors, it is possible to generate high-resolution data rapidly and obtain the resonance assignments of...

This article is a review with 83 references of the application of NMR to the measurement of the dissociation constants of protein-ligand complexes. After briefly discussing some general concepts of molecular stability, the text turns to consider which NMR parameters are reporters of complex formation. The available data...
