A beginner's guide to protein backbone assignment?

A beginner's guide to protein backbone assignment?

Hi All,

I'm new to protein backbone assignment by NMR, and my protein is about ~37kDa (about 400 residues). We've acquired a series of triple resonance spectra: HNCA, HNCACB, HNCOCACB, HNCOCA, and HNCACO. I also have an HQCS spectrum. While I know how magnetization is transferred in the above mentioned experiment, how do I start assigning my protein? I use NMRpipe to process the spectra and Sparky for assignment.

Thanks a lot!

Assignment - Theory The most simple and straight forward method of backbone resonance assignment involves the use of 15N,13C labelled protein and the measurement of CBCANNH and CBCA(CO)NNH spectra. Large Proteins Large proteins give worse NMR spectra, because they tumble more slowly. For this reason the CBCANNH and CBCA(CO)NNH spectra of larger proteins (> 150...	markber	Cashed version of protein-nmr.org.uk	0	11-06-2011 09:42 PM
RDC derived protein backbone resonance assignment using fragment assembly RDC derived protein backbone resonance assignment using fragment assembly Abstract Experimental residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in combination with structural models have the potential for accelerating the protein backbone resonance assignment process because RDCs can be measured accurately and interpreted quantitatively. However, this application has been limited due to the need for very high-resolution structural templates. Here, we introduce a new approach to resonance assignment based on optimal agreement between the experimental and calculated RDCs from a structural template that...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	12-31-2010 08:38 PM
