[NMR paper] Ligand-induced structural transitions combined with paramagnetic ions facilitate unambiguous NMR assignments of methyl groups in large proteins
NMR spectroscopy allows the study of biomolecules in close-to-native conditions. Structural information can be inferred from the NMR spectra when an assignment is available. Protein assignment is usually a time-consuming task, being specially challenging in the case of large, supramolecular systems. Here, we present an extension of existing state-of-the-art strategies for methyl group assignment that partially overcomes signal overlapping and other difficulties associated to isolated methyl...

[NMR paper] Unambiguous Side-Chain Assignments for Solid-State NMR Structure Elucidation of Nondeuterated Proteins via a Combined 5D/4D Side-Chain-to-Backbone Experiment
Unambiguous Side-Chain Assignments for Solid-State NMR Structure Elucidation of Nondeuterated Proteins via a Combined 5D/4D Side-Chain-to-Backbone Experiment
Owing to fast-magic-angle-spinning technology, proton-detected solid-state NMR has been facilitating the analysis of insoluble, crystalline, sedimented, and membrane proteins. However, potential applications have been largely restricted by limited access to side-chain resonances. The recent availability of spinning frequencies exceeding 100 kHz in principle now allows direct probing of all protons without the need for partial...

Abstract
Methyl-specific isotope labeling is a powerful tool to study the structure, dynamics and interactions of large proteins and protein complexes by solution-state NMR. However, widespread applications of this methodology have been limited by challenges in...

Complete assignment of Ala, Ile, Leu, Met and Val methyl groups of human blood group A and B glycosyltransferases using lanthanide-induced pseudocontact shifts and methylâ??methyl NOESY
Abstract
Human blood group A and B glycosyltransferases (GTA, GTB) are highly homologous glycosyltransferases. A number of high-resolution crystal structures is available showing that these enzymes convert from an open conformation into a catalytically active closed conformation upon substrate binding. However, the mechanism of glycosyltransfer is still under debate,...

Selective 1H-13C NMR spectroscopy of methyl groups in residually protonated samples of large proteins
Selective 1H-13C NMR spectroscopy of methyl groups in residually protonated samples of large proteins
Abstract Methyl 13CHD2 isotopomers of all methyl-containing amino-acids can be observed in residually protonated samples of large proteins obtained from -glucose/D2O-based bacterial media, with sensitivity sufficient for a number of NMR applications. Selective detection of some subsets of methyl groups (Alaβ, Thrγ2) is possible using simple â??out-and-backâ?? NMR methodology. Such selective methyl-detected â??out-and-backâ?? NMR experiments allow complete assignments of threonine γ2...
