Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are characterized by substantial conformational flexibility and thus not amenable to conventional structural biology techniques. Given their inherent structural flexibility NMR spectroscopy offers unique opportunities for structural and dynamic studies of IDPs. The past two decades have witnessed significant development of NMR spectroscopy that couples advances in spin physics and chemistry with a broad range of applications. This chapter will summarize key advances in NMR methodology. Despite the availability of efficient (multi-dimensional) NMR experiments for signal assignment of IDPs it is discussed that NMR of larger and more complex IDPs demands spectral simplification strategies capitalizing on specific isotope-labeling strategies. Prototypical applications of isotope labeling-strategies are described. Since IDP-ligand association and dissociation processes frequently occur on time scales that are amenable to NMR spectroscopy we describe in detail the application of CPMG relaxation dispersion techniques to studies of IDP protein binding. Finally, we demonstrate that the complementary usage of NMR and EPR data provide a more comprehensive picture about the conformational states of IDPs and can be employed to analyze the conformational ensembles of IDPs.

Multidimensional heteronuclear NMR approaches can provide nearly complete sequential signal assignments of isotopically enriched biomolecules. The availability of assignments together with measurements of spin relaxation rates, residual spin interactions, J-couplings and chemical shifts provides information at atomic resolution about internal dynamics on...

Abstract
When approaching physiological conditions, solvent exchange of amide protons in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is so pronounced that it becomes a key feature to be considered in NMR experiment...

Abstract
The realization that a protein can be fully functional even in the absence of a stable three-dimensional structure has motivated a large number of studies describing the conformational behaviour of these proteins at atomic resolution. Here, we review...
