Abstract
Proteins, which, in their native conditions, sample a multitude of distinct conformational states characterized by high spatiotemporal heterogeneity, most often termed as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), have become a target of broad interest over the past 15years. With the growing evidence of their important roles in fundamental cellular processes, there is an urgent need to characterize the conformational behavior of IDPs at the highest possible level. The unique feature of NMR spectroscopy in the context of IDPs is its ability to supply details of their structural and temporal alterations at atomic-level resolution. Here, we briefly review recently proposed NMR-based strategies to characterize transient states populated by IDPs and summarize the latest achievements and future prospects in methodological development. Because low chemical shift dispersion represents the major obstacle encountered when studying IDPs by nuclear magnetic resonance, particular attention is paid to techniques allowing one to approach the physical limits of attainable resolution.

There is growing interest in the development of physical methods to study the conformational behaviour and biological activity of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). In this review recent advances in the elucidation of quantitative descriptions of disordered proteins from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are presented. Ensemble approaches are particularly well adapted to map the...

High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract Four novel 5D (HACA(N)CONH, HNCOCACB, (HACA)CON(CA)CONH, (H)NCO(NCA)CONH), and one 6D ((H)NCO(N)CACONH) NMR pulse sequences are proposed. The new experiments employ non-uniform sampling that enables achieving high resolution in indirectly detected dimensions. The experiments facilitate resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins. The novel pulse sequences were successfully tested using δ subunit (20 kDa) of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase...
