Abstract
Residual Dipolar Couplings (RDCs) are integral to the refinement of membrane protein structures by NMR since they accurately define the orientation of helices and other structural units. Only a small set of liquid crystals used for RDC measurements are compatible with the detergents needed in membrane protein studies. The available detergent-compatible liquid crystals are negatively charged, thus offering effectively only one of five orthogonal components of the alignment Saupe matrix. In this communication, we present a robust liquid crystalline medium that is positively charged, pinacyanol acetate (PNA), for the determination of orthogonal sets of RDCs in membrane. This new medium promises to enhance the accuracy of membrane protein structures and the measurement of dynamics based on RDCs.

Determination of structural fluctuations of proteins from structure-based calculations of residual dipolar couplings Determination of structural fluctuations of proteins from structure-based calculations of residual dipolar couplings Abstract Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) have the potential of providing detailed information about the conformational fluctuations of proteins. It is very challenging, however, to extract such information because of the complex relationship between RDCs and protein structures. A promising approach to decode this relationship involves structure-based calculations of the alignment tensors of protein conformations. By implementing this strategy to generate structural...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	06-26-2012 06:18 AM
Simultaneous measurement of 1Hâ??15N and Methyl 1Hmâ??13Cm residual dipolar couplings in large proteins Simultaneous measurement of 1Hâ??15N and Methyl 1Hmâ??13Cm residual dipolar couplings in large proteins Abstract A two-dimensional TROSY-based SIM-13Cmâ??1Hm/1Hâ??15N NMR experiment for simultaneous measurements of methyl 1 D CH and backbone amide 1 D NH residual dipolar couplings (RDC) in {U-; IleÎ´1-; Leu,Val-}-labeled samples of large proteins is described. Significant variation in the alignment tensor of the 82-kDa enzyme Malate synthase G is observed as a function of only slight changes in experimental conditions.

Rapid measurement of residual dipolar couplings for fast fold elucidation of proteins Rapid measurement of residual dipolar couplings for fast fold elucidation of proteins Abstract It has been demonstrated that protein folds can be determined using appropriate computational protocols with NMR chemical shifts as the sole source of experimental restraints. While such approaches are very promising they still suffer from low convergence resulting in long computation times to achieve accurate results. Here we present a suite of time- and sensitivity optimized NMR experiments for rapid measurement of up to six RDCs per residue. Including such an RDC data set, measured in less...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	09-17-2011 10:20 AM
