Abstract
Copper (I) binding by metallochaperone transport proteins prevents copper oxidation and release of the toxic ions that may participate in harmful redox reactions. The Cu (I) complex of the peptide model of a Cu (I) binding metallochaperone protein, which includes the sequence MTCSGCSRPG (underlined is conserved), was determined in solution under inert conditions by NMR spectroscopy. NMR is a widely accepted technique for the determination of solution structures of proteins and peptides. Due to difficulty in crystallization to provide single crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography, the NMR technique is extremely valuable, especially as it provides information on the solution state rather than the solid state. Herein we describe all steps that are required for full three-dimensional structure determinations by NMR. The protocol includes sample preparation in an NMR tube, 1D and 2D data collection and processing, peak assignment and integration, molecular mechanics calculations, and structure analysis. Importantly, the analysis was first conducted without any preset metal-ligand bonds, to assure a reliable structure determination in an unbiased manner.

This chapter describes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods that can be used to determine the structures of protein complexes. Many of these techniques are also applicable to other systems (e.g., protein-nucleic acid complexes). In the first section, we discuss methodologies for optimizing the sample conditions for...

PCS-based structure determination of proteinâ??protein complexes
Abstract A simple and fast nuclear magnetic resonance method for docking proteins using pseudo-contact shift (PCS) and 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation is presented. PCS is induced by a paramagnetic lanthanide ion that is attached to a target protein using a lanthanide binding peptide tag anchored at two points. PCS provides long-range (~40 Ã?) distance and angular restraints between the lanthanide ion and the observed nuclei, while the 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation data provide loose contact-surface information. The usefulness of this method was demonstrated through the structure...

Introduction
As the structures of more proteins and domains are solved by structural genomics projects, the future of structural biology will be oriented more toward the study of macromolecular complexes. Since so many biological processes are mediated by interactions between proteins, it is important to study them at a molecular level. The study of protein-protein interactions also has applications in a...
