Rapid, Accurate and Simple Model to Predict NMR Chemical Shifts for Biological Molecules.

Authors: Atieh Z, Aubert-Fre?con M, Allouche AR
We present a new model to predict chemical shifts for biological molecules. It is simple, fast, and involves a limited number of parameters. It is particularly adapted to be used in molecular dynamics studies with a molecular mechanic potential. We test the model for polyamines, which are rather small molecules, as well as for proteins for which a lot of NMR chemical shifts are available. The tests show that our simple and fast model is competitive, by its accuracy, with sophisticated models specifically developed for proteins. It was also seen to be successful for polyamines.

1H NMR-based metabolic profiling reveals inherent biological variation in yeast and nematode model systems
Abstract The application of metabolomics to human and animal model systems is poised to provide great insight into our understanding of disease etiology and the metabolic changes that are associated with these conditions. However, metabolomic studies have also revealed that there is significant, inherent biological variation in human samples and even in samples from animal model systems where the animals are housed under carefully controlled conditions. This inherent biological...

The presence of disulfide bonds can be detected unambiguously only by X-ray crystallography, and otherwise must be inferred by chemical methods. In this study we demonstrate that 13C NMR chemical shifts are diagnostic of disulfide bond formation, and can discriminate between cysteine in the reduced (free) and oxidized (disulfide bonded)...

A simple method for measuring signs of 1HN chemical shift differences between ground
Abstract NMR relaxation dispersion spectroscopy is a powerful method for studying protein conformational dynamics whereby visible, ground and invisible, excited conformers interconvert on the millisecond time-scale. In addition to providing kinetics and thermodynamics parameters of the exchange process, the CPMG dispersion experiment also allows extraction of the absolute values of the chemical shift differences between interconverting states,
