Abstract
Multidomain proteins in which individual domains are connected by linkers often possess inherent interdomain flexibility that significantly complicates their structural characterization in solution using either nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy or small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) alone. Here, we report a protocol for joint refinement of flexible multidomain protein structures against NMR distance and angular restraints, residual dipolar couplings, and SAXS data. The protocol is based on the ensemble optimization method principle (Bernadó et*al., 2007) and is compared with different refinement strategies for the structural characterization of the flexible two-domain protein sf3636 from Shigella flexneri 2a. The results of our refinement suggest the existence of a dominant population of configurational states in solution possessing an overall elongated shape and restricted relative twisting of the two domains.

The dynamic duo: Combining NMR and small angle scattering in structural biology
Abstract
Structural biology provides essential information for elucidating molecular mechanisms that underlie biological function. Advances in hardware, sample preparation, experimental methods, and computational approaches now enable structural analysis of protein complexes with increasing complexity that more closely represent biologically entities in the cellular environment. Integrated multidisciplinary approaches are required to overcome limitations of individual methods and take advantage of...
