We present a simple approach to rapidly identify amino acid types in proteins from a 2D spectrum. The method is based on the fact that 13C? chemical shifts of different amino acid types fall in distinct spectral regions. By evolving the 13C chemical shifts in the conventional HNCACB or...

Amino acid recognition for automatic resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Amino acid recognition for automatic resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
Resonance assignment is a prerequisite for almost any NMR-based study of proteins. It can be very challenging in some cases, however, due to the nature of the protein under investigation. This is the case with intrinsically disordered proteins, for example, whose NMR spectra suffer from low chemical shifts dispersion and generally low resolution. For these systems, sequence specific assignment is highly time-consuming, so the prospect of using...

Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement of membrane proteins by incorporation of the metal-chelating unnatural amino acid 2-amino-3-(8-hydroxyquinolin-3-yl)propanoic acid (HQA)
Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement of membrane proteins by incorporation of the metal-chelating unnatural amino acid 2-amino-3-(8-hydroxyquinolin-3-yl)propanoic acid (HQA)
Abstract
The use of paramagnetic constraints in protein NMR is an active area of research because of the benefits of long-range distance measurements (>10Â*Ã?). One of the main issues in successful execution is the incorporation of a paramagnetic metal ion into diamagnetic proteins. The most common metal ion tags are relatively long aliphatic chains attached to the side chain of a...

[NMR paper] A suite of amino acid residue type classification pulse sequences for 13C-detected NMR of proteins
A suite of amino acid residue type classification pulse sequences for 13C-detected NMR of proteins
Publication date: Available online 10 July 2013

Author(s): David Pantoja-Uceda , Jorge Santoro</br>
A suite of 13C-detected NMR pulse sequences to edit the correlation peaks of the CACO and CON spectra according to the amino acid residue type is presented. The pulse sequences exploit the topology of the C? carbon and led to the sorting of the CACO or CON signals into several classes depending on the nature of the generating...

Amino acid selective unlabeling for sequence specific resonance assignments in proteins
Amino acid selective unlabeling for sequence specific resonance assignments in proteins
Abstract Sequence specific resonance assignment constitutes an important step towards high-resolution structure determination of proteins by NMR and is aided by selective identification and assignment of amino acid types. The traditional approach to selective labeling yields only the chemical shifts of the particular amino acid being selected and does not help in establishing a link between adjacent residues along the polypeptide chain, which is important for sequential assignments. An alternative...

Automated amino acid side-chain NMR assignment of proteins using 13C- and 15N-resolved 3D [1H,1H]-NOESY
Automated amino acid side-chain NMR assignment of proteins using 13C- and 15N-resolved 3D -NOESY

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 42(1); pp 23-33
Abstract
ASCAN is a new algorithm for automatic sequence-specific NMR assignment of amino acid side-chains in proteins, which uses as input the primary structure of the protein, chemical shift lists of 1HN, 15N, 13Cα, 13Cβ and possibly 1Hα from the previous polypeptide backbone assignment, and one or several 3D 13C- or 15N-resolved -NOESY spectra. ASCAN has also been...
