Integrative NMR for biomolecular research
نویسندگان
چکیده
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for determining structural and functional features of biomolecules in physiological solution as well as for observing their intermolecular interactions in real-time. However, complex steps associated with its practice have made the approach daunting for non-specialists. We introduce an NMR platform that makes biomolecular NMR spectroscopy much more accessible by integrating tools, databases, web services, and video tutorials that can be launched by simple installation of NMRFAM software packages or using a cross-platform virtual machine that can be run on any standard laptop or desktop computer. The software package can be downloaded freely from the NMRFAM software download page ( http://pine.nmrfam.wisc.edu/download_packages.html ), and detailed instructions are available from the Integrative NMR Video Tutorial page ( http://pine.nmrfam.wisc.edu/integrative.html ).

Overcoming the solubility limit with solubility-enhancement tags: successful applications in biomolecular NMR studies.
Although the rapid progress of NMR technology has significantly expanded the range of NMR-trackable systems, preparation of NMR-suitable samples that are highly soluble and stable remains a bottleneck for studies of many biological systems. The application of solubility-enhancement tags (SETs) has been highly effective in overcoming solubility and sample stability issues and has enabled structu...
متن کاملOptimization of 13C direct detection NMR methods.
(13)C-detected experiments are still limited by their inherently lower sensitivity, as compared to the equivalent (1)H-detected experiments. Improving the sensitivity of (13)C detection methods remains a significant area of NMR research that may provide better means for studying large macromolecular systems by NMR. In this communication, we show that (13)C-detected experiments are less sensitiv...

متن کاملNMR-based structural characterization of large protein-ligand interactions.
Genomic research on target identification and validation has created a great need for methods that rapidly provide detailed structural information on protein-ligand interactions. We developed a suite of NMR experiments as rapid and efficient tools to provide descriptive structural information on protein-ligand complexes. The methods work with large proteins and in particular cases also without ...
متن کاملApplications of laser-polarized 129Xe to biomolecular assays.
The chemical shift sensitivity and significant signal enhancement afforded by laser-polarized 129Xe have motivated the application of 129Xe NMR to biological imaging and spectroscopy. Recent research done by our group has used laser-polarized 129Xe in biomolecular assays that detect ligand-binding events and distinguish protein conformations. The successful application of unfunctionalized and f...
