Biological macromolecules are dynamic entities that transition between various conformational states, often playing a vital role in biological functions. Their inherent flexibility spans a broad range of timescales. Motions occurring within the microsecond to millisecond range are especially important, as they are integral to processes such as enzyme catalysis, folding, ligand binding, and allostery. NMR Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) relaxation dispersion measurements are the preferred method...
[NMR paper] NMR screening method based on 19F spin-spin relaxation time for analyses of fluorinated compound bound to proteins
NMR screening method based on 19F spin-spin relaxation time for analyses of fluorinated compound bound to proteins
NMR screening methods based on ^(19)F spin-spin relaxation time (^(19)F-T(2)) were applied to fluorinated compounds bound to human serum albumin. Diflunisal and fleroxacin (the fluorinated compounds) contain two and three fluorine atoms per molecule, respectively, and are suitable as the model system for ^(19)F NMR analysis. It was shown that ^(19)F-T(2) was more sensitive in monitoring the binding affinity to the target protein than ^(19)F spin-lattice relaxation time...

[NMR paper] Explicit models of motions to analyze NMR relaxation data in proteins
Explicit models of motions to analyze NMR relaxation data in proteins
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a tool of choice to characterize molecular motions. In biological macromolecules, pico- to nanosecond motions, in particular, can be probed by nuclear spin relaxation rates, which depend on the time fluctuations of the orientations of spin interaction frames. For the past 40 years, relaxation rates have been successfully analyzed using the Model-Free (MF) approach, which makes no assumption on the nature of motions and reports on the effective amplitude and...

[NMR paper] NMR Spin Relaxation Theory of Biomolecules Undergoing Highly Asymmetric Exchange with Large Interaction Partners
NMR Spin Relaxation Theory of Biomolecules Undergoing Highly Asymmetric Exchange with Large Interaction Partners
The transient interactions of proteins and other molecules with much larger structures, such as synthetic or biological nanoparticles, lead to certain types of enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin relaxation effects, which can be accurately measured by multidimensional solution NMR techniques. These relaxation effects provide new information about the nanostructures and the protein, their interactions, internal dynamics, and associated kinetic and thermodynamic...
