In this paper, we discuss methods for determining structures of protein-ligand complexes by NMR in solution. Our discussion is based on small ligands (<2 kDa) as for example drugs, metabolites or oligo-peptides, but most of the considerations also apply to more general cases. In NMR in solution, the kinetics of association and dissociation of the complex – the exchange rate – determines the optimal sample preparation and the NMR experimental approach. Additionally, depending on the part of the complex that will be studied (only the bound ligand, the protein, the protein-ligand interface or the entire protein-ligand complex structure), different types of NMR experiments are needed. Therefore, the choice of a combination of the appropriate experiment and a suitable sample preparation in terms of ligand to protein ratios are discussed in detail. Also, considerations for practically preparing samples of protein-ligand complexes and carrying out experiments including trouble shooting are described. For structure determination, the scope of this paper is limited to NOE-based methods and some of the most recent approaches will be covered.

Determination of ligand binding modes in weak proteinâ??ligand complexes using sparse NMR data
Determination of ligand binding modes in weak proteinâ??ligand complexes using sparse NMR data
Abstract
We describe a general approach to determine the binding pose of small molecules in weakly bound proteinâ??ligand complexes by deriving distance constraints between the ligand and methyl groups from all methyl-containing residues of the protein. We demonstrate that using a single sample, which can be prepared without the use of expensive precursors, it is possible to generate high-resolution data rapidly and obtain the resonance assignments of...

Structure determination of RNA-protein complexes is essential for our understanding of the multiple layers of RNA-mediated posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Over the past 20years, NMR spectroscopy became a key tool for structural studies of RNA-protein interactions. Here, we review the progress being made in NMR structure...

Fast methionine-based solution structure determination of calcium-calmodulin complexes
Fast methionine-based solution structure determination of calcium-calmodulin complexes
Abstract Here we present a novel NMR method for the structure determination of calcium-calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM)-peptide complexes from a limited set of experimental restraints. A comparison of solved CaM-peptide structures reveals invariability in CaMâ??s backbone conformation and a structural plasticity in CaMâ??s domain orientation enabled by a flexible linker. Knowing this, the collection and analysis of an extensive set of NOESY spectra is redundant. Although RDCs can define CaM domain orientation in...

J. Am. Chem. Soc.; 2006; 128(39) pp 12910 - 12916; (Article)
Abstract:
Rational drug design depends on the knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of complexes between proteins and lead compounds of low molecular weight. A novel nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy strategy based on the paramagnetic effects from lanthanide ions allows the rapid determination of the 3D structure of a small...
