An NMR Toolkit to Probe Amyloid Oligomer Inhibition in Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Ligand Screening to Dissecting Binding Topology and Mechanisms of Action
The aggregation of amyloid peptides and proteins into toxic oligomers is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Inhibition of amyloid oligomers formation and interactions with biological counterparts, as well as the triggering of non-toxic amorphous aggregates, are strategies towards preventive interventions against these pathologies. NMR spectroscopy addresses the need for structural characterization of amyloid proteins and their...

Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AAR) Ligand Screening Using the 19F-NMR Probe FPPA
The binding affinity of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands is customarily measured by radio-ligand competition experiments. As an alternative approach, ^(19)F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (^(19)F-NMR) is used for the screening of small-molecule lead compounds in drug discovery; the two methods are complementary in that the measurements are performed with widely different experimental conditions. Here, we used the structure of the A(2A) adenosine receptor (A(2A)AR) complex with...

An NMR strategy for fragment-based ligand screening utilizing a paramagnetic lanthanide probe
Abstract A nuclear magnetic resonance-based ligand screening strategy utilizing a paramagnetic lanthanide probe is presented. By fixing a paramagnetic lanthanide ion to a target protein, a pseudo-contact shift (PCS) and a paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) can be observed for both the target protein and its bound ligand. Based on PRE and PCS information, the bound ligand is then screened from the compound library and the structure of the ligandâ??protein complex is determined. PRE is an...
