At the concentration needed for NMR, the calcium-saturated form of calcineurin B dissolved in water shows resonance line widths that indicate aggregation of this protein. Although the line width or aggregation state can be influenced to some degree by temperature, pH, and salt concentrations, in the absence of detergent no conditions could be found where the protein behaved as a monomeric unit. In the presence of a 10- to 20-fold molar excess of the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), resonance line widths were considerably narrower and were compatible with a protein of approximately 25 kDa. The presence of the NMR signals of the non-deuterated CHAPS does not interfere with modern isotope-directed NMR studies as the signals from protons not attached to 15N or 13C are removed by isotope filtering and purge pulses.

Jcouplings are essential for measuring RDCs (residual dipolar couplings), now routinely used to deduce molecular structure and dynamics of glycans and proteins. Accurate measurement ofJCHis critical for RDCs to reflect the true structure and dynamics in the molecule of interest. We report...

The need for simple and robust schemes for the analysis of ligand-protein binding has resulted in the development of diffusion-based NMR techniques that can be used to assay binding in protein solutions containing a mixture of several ligands. As a means of gaining spectral selectivity in NMR diffusion measurements, a simple experiment, the gradient modified...

High-resolution methyl edited GFT NMR experiments for protein resonance assignments and structure determination
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of proteins is benefitted by long-range distance constraints comprising the methyl groups, which constitute the hydrophobic core of proteins. However, in methyl groups (of Ala, Ile, Leu, Met, Thr and Val) there is a significant overlap of 13C and 1H chemical shifts. Such overlap can be resolved using the recently proposed (3,2)D HCCH-COSY, a G-matrix Fourier transform (GFT) NMR based experiment, which facilitates editing...
