NMR ligand-affinity screens are vital to drug discovery, are routinely used to screen fragment-based libraries, and used to verify chemical leads from high-throughput assays and virtual screens. NMR ligand-affinity screens are also a highly informative first step towards identifying functional epitopes of unknown proteins, as well as elucidating the biochemical functions of proteinā??ligand interaction at their binding interfaces. While simple one-dimensional 1H NMR experiments are capable of indicating binding through a change in ligand line shape, they are plagued by broad, ill-defined background signals from protein 1H resonances. We present an uncomplicated method for subtraction of protein background in high-throughput ligand-based affinity screens, and show that its performance is maximized when phase-scatter correction is applied prior to subtraction.

Exponential Line Broadening - Video Tutorial
Exponential line broadening is an important NMR data processing tool. It involves multiplying the time domain signal by a decaying exponential function prior to Fourier transforming the data into the frequency domain. It is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and is more fully described in a previous post. The following short tutorial video demonstrates its use.

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] residue information in case of line broadening (intensity drop ) of HSQC titration
residue information in case of line broadening (intensity drop ) of HSQC titration
Dear Friends
we have done HSQC gradient titration with targeted proteins , most of cross peaks we observed intensity drop , 30 out of 95 peaks ( 70 percent intensity drop of each cross peak ) , other cross peaks also we observe intensity drop less than 70 percent , we did n"t observe any chemical shift change .( May be it is due to intermediate exchange regime of complex ) .ITC experiment showing 12uM binding constant .AUC experiment result is complex size 33 kd .
is their any method to extract...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Line broadening in nmr
Line broadening in nmr
Hello can some body help me in understanding the line broadening effect in NMR? I am working with protein and small molecules and I observed severe broadening at a protein to ligand ratio 1:20. I am pretty sure that its not aggregation since i have the free ligand spectrum without the protein which didnt showed any broadening effect.
Hope somebody will guide me..

Authors: Shuker SB, Hajduk PJ, Meadows RP, Fesik SW
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based method is described in which small organic molecules that bind to proximal subsites of a protein are identified, optimized, and linked together to produce high-affinity ligands. The approach is called "SAR by NMR" because structure-activity relationships (SAR) are obtained from...
