Characterizing carbohydrate-protein interactions by NMR.
Biopolymers. 2013 Jun 20;
Authors: Bewley CA, Shahzad-Ul-Hussan S
Abstract
Interactions between proteins and soluble carbohydrates and/or surface displayed glycans are central to countless recognition, attachment and signaling events in biology. The physical chemical features associated with these binding events vary considerably, depending on the biological system of interest. For example, carbohydrate-protein...

Acc Chem Res. 2013 Mar 7;
Authors: Murray DT, Das N, Cross TA
Abstract
Unlike water soluble proteins, the structures of helicaltransmembrane proteins depend on a very complex environment. These proteins sit in the midst of dramatic electrical and chemical gradients and are often subject to variations in the lateral pressure profile, order parameters, dielectric...

Lysine methylation strategies for characterizing protein conformations by NMR
Lysine methylation strategies for characterizing protein conformations by NMR
Abstract In the presence of formaldehyde and a mild reducing agent, reductive methylation is known to achieve near complete dimethylation of protein amino groups under non-denaturing conditions, in aqueous media. Amino methylation of proteins is employed in mass spectrometric, crystallographic, and NMR studies. Where biosynthetic labeling is prohibitive, amino 13C-methylation provides an attractive option for monitoring folding, kinetics, proteinā??protein and protein-DNA interactions by NMR. Here, we...
