Predicted and Experimental NMR Chemical Shifts at Variable Temperatures: The Effect of Protein Conformational Dynamics
NMR chemical shifts provide a sensitive probe of protein structure and dynamics but remain challenging to predict and interpret. We examine the effect of protein conformational distributions on ^(15)N chemical shifts for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), comparing QM/MM predicted shifts with experimental shifts in solution as well as frozen distributions. Representative snapshots from MD trajectories exhibit variation in predicted ^(15)N chemical shifts of up to 25 ppm. The...

Predicted and Experimental NMR Chemical Shifts at Variable Temperatures: The Effect of Protein Conformational Dynamics
NMR chemical shifts provide a sensitive probe of protein structure and dynamics. Prediction of shifts, and therefore interpretation of shifts, particularly for the frequently measured amidic ^(15) N sites, remains a tall challenge. We demonstrate that protein ^(15) N chemical shift prediction from QM/MM predictions can be improved if conformational variation is included via MD sampling, focusing on the antibiotic target, E. coli Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Variations...

Correlation of chemical shifts predicted by molecular dynamics simulations for partially disordered proteins
Abstract
There has been a longstanding interest in being able to accurately predict NMR chemical shifts from structural data. Recent studies have focused on using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data as input for improved prediction. Here we examine the accuracy of chemical shift prediction for intein systems, which have regions of intrinsic disorder. We find that using MD simulation data as input for chemical shift prediction does not...
