Abstract
Protein side-chain motions are involved in many important biological processes including enzymatic catalysis, allosteric regulation, and the mediation of protein-protein, protein-DNA, protein-RNA, and protein-cofactor interactions. NMR spectroscopy has long been used to provide insights into the motions of side-chain groups. Currently, the method of choice for studying side-chain dynamics by NMR is the measurement of methyl 2H auto-relaxation. Methyl 2H auto-relaxation exhibits simple relaxation mechanisms and can be straightforwardly converted to meaningful dynamic parameters. However, methyl groups can only be found in 6 of 19 side-chain bearing amino acids. Consequently, only a sparse assessment of protein side-chain dynamics is possible. Therefore, there is a significant interest in developing novel methods of studying side-chain motions that can be applied to all types of side-chains. Here, we show how side-chain chemical shifts can be used to determine the magnitude of fast side-chain motions in proteins. The chemical shift method is applicable to all side-chain bearing residues and does not require any additional measurements beyond standard NMR experiments for backbone and side-chain assignments.

PPM: a side-chain and backbone chemical shift predictor for the assessment of protein conformational ensembles
Abstract The combination of the wide availability of protein backbone and side-chain NMR chemical shifts with advances in understanding of their relationship to protein structure makes these parameters useful for the assessment of structural-dynamic protein models. A new chemical shift predictor (PPM) is introduced, which is solely based on physicalâ??chemical contributions to the chemical shifts for both the protein backbone and methyl-bearing amino-acid side chains. To...

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,
