Abstract The characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) by NMR spectroscopy is made difficult by the extensive spectral overlaps. To overcome the intrinsic low-resolution of the spectra the introduction of high-dimensionality experiments is essential. We present here a set of high-resolution experiments based on direct 13C-detection which proved useful in the assignment of α-synuclein, a paradigmatic IDP. In particular, we describe the implementation of 4D HCBCACON, HCCCON, HCBCANCO, 4/5D HNCACON and HNCANCO and 3/4D HCANCACO experiments, specifically tailored for spin system identification and backbone resonances sequential assignment. The use of non-uniform-sampling in the indirect dimension and of the H-flip approach to achieve longitudinal relaxation enhancement rendered the experiments very practical.

Abstract:
MATCH (Memetic Algorithm and Combinatorial Optimization Heuristics) is a new memetic algorithm for automated sequence-specific polypeptide backbone NMR assignment of proteins. MATCH employs local optimization for tracing partial sequence-specific assignments within a global, population-based search environment, where the simultaneous application of local and global optimization heuristics...
