NMR experiments on proteins in simultaneous equilibria with multiple binding partners can provide a tool to understand complex biological interaction networks. Competition among proteins for binding to signaling hubs is often at the basis of the information transmission across signaling networks in every organism. Changes in affinity towards one or more partners, as well as changes of the relative concentration of the competing partners, can determine pathways alterations that lead to pathological consequences. Overall, the knowledge of the interaction hierarchy of the multiple partners to a single signaling hub can lead to new therapeutic strategies. Smith and Ikura (Nat Chem Biol 10:223â??230, 2014) have recently proposed pairwise competition NMR experiments to determine the binding hierarchy in network interactions. We have taken the moves from their approach to show how from pairwise competition NMR experiments the ratios between the equilibrium constants for multiple binding partners can be determined, and thus, given their concentration in solution, the concentrations of all the possible complexes can be obtained.

Using the DUMAS (Dual acquisition Magic Angle Spinning) solid-state NMR approach, we created new pulse schemes that enable the simultaneous acquisition of three dimensional (3D) experiments on uniformly 13C, 15N labeled proteins. These new experiments exploit the simultaneous cross-polarization (SIM-CP) from 1H to 13C and 15N to acquire two 3D experiments...

NMR line shapes and multi-state binding equilibria
NMR line shapes and multi-state binding equilibria
Abstract Biological function of proteins relies on conformational transitions and binding of specific ligands. Proteinâ??ligand interactions are thermodynamically and kinetically coupled to conformational changes in protein structures as conceptualized by the models of pre-existing equilibria and induced fit. NMR spectroscopy is particularly sensitive to complex ligand-binding modesâ??NMR line-shape analysis can provide for thermodynamic and kinetic constants of ligand-binding equilibria with the site-specific resolution. However,...

Direct and competition ligand-based NMR experiments are often used in the screening of chemical fragment libraries against a protein target due to the high relative sensitivity of NMR for protein-binding events. A plethora of NMR methods has been proposed...

Simultaneous convection compensation and solvent suppression in biomolecular NMR diffusion experiments
Simultaneous convection compensation and solvent suppression in biomolecular NMR diffusion experiments
Abstract Thermal convection and high intensity solvent resonances can significantly hamper diffusion estimates in pulsed gradient spin-echo nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion experiments on biomolecule samples. To overcome these two problems, a new double functional NMR diffusion sequence, double echo PGSTE-WATERGATE, is presented. The new sequence provides excellent convection compensation and solvent suppression (with a suppression factor in excess of at least 105 in a single scan)...
