We recently reported on a new method called NMR Molecular Replacement that efficiently derives the structure of a proteinâ??ligand complex at the interaction site. The method was successfully applied to high and low affinity complexes covering ligands from peptides to small molecules. The algorithm used in the NMR Molecular Replacement program has until now not beenÂ*described in detail. Here, we present a complete description of the NMR Molecular Replacement implementation as well as several new features that further reduce the time required for structure elucidation.
Trimethylsilyl tag for probing proteinâ??ligand interactions by NMR
Trimethylsilyl tag for probing proteinâ??ligand interactions by NMR
Abstract
Proteinâ??ligand titrations can readily be monitored with a trimethylsilyl (TMS) tag. Owing to the intensity, narrow line shape and unique chemical shift of a TMS group, dissociation constants can be determined from straightforward 1D 1H-NMR spectra not only in the fast but also in the slow exchange limit. The tag is easily attached to cysteine residues and a sensitive reporter of ligand binding also at sites where it does not interfere with ligand binding or catalytic...

Determination of ligand binding modes in weak proteinâ??ligand complexes using sparse NMR data
Determination of ligand binding modes in weak proteinâ??ligand complexes using sparse NMR data
Abstract
We describe a general approach to determine the binding pose of small molecules in weakly bound proteinâ??ligand complexes by deriving distance constraints between the ligand and methyl groups from all methyl-containing residues of the protein. We demonstrate that using a single sample, which can be prepared without the use of expensive precursors, it is possible to generate high-resolution data rapidly and obtain the resonance assignments of...

Proteinâ??ligand structure guided by backbone and side-chain proton chemical shift perturbations
Proteinâ??ligand structure guided by backbone and side-chain proton chemical shift perturbations
Abstract
The fragment-based drug design approach consists of screening libraries of fragment-like ligands, to identify hits that typically bind the protein target with weak affinity ( \(100\,\upmu \hbox {M}\) â??5Â*mM). The determination of the proteinâ??fragment complex 3D structure constitutes a crucial step for uncovering the key interactions responsible for...

Re: Molecular replacement
I once had a similar problem. In your case, the protein is fused so you know it is there. I suggest you get initial phases from the MBP molecular replacement

PCS-based structure determination of proteinâ??protein complexes
Abstract A simple and fast nuclear magnetic resonance method for docking proteins using pseudo-contact shift (PCS) and 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation is presented. PCS is induced by a paramagnetic lanthanide ion that is attached to a target protein using a lanthanide binding peptide tag anchored at two points. PCS provides long-range (~40 Ã?) distance and angular restraints between the lanthanide ion and the observed nuclei, while the 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation data provide loose contact-surface information. The usefulness of this method was demonstrated through the structure...
