This book was released on 2008 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the development and application of methodology for rapid NMR data collection and protein structure determination. In chapter 1, simultaneously cycled (SC) NMR is introduced and exemplified by implementing without readout gradients a set of 2D [1 H, 1 H] SC Exclusive COSY (E. COSY) NMR experiments and with readout gradients a 2D [1 H, 1 H] double quantum filtered (DQF) COSY experiment. Spatially selective 1 H r.f. pulses are applied as composite pulses such that n steps of the respective cycles are effected simultaneously in n slices of the sample, thus reducing total acquisition time by a factor of n. In chapter 2, the structure of the 142-residue protein Q8ZP25_SALTY encoded in the genome of Salmonella typhimurium (NESG target StR70) was determined by NMR, refined using residual dipolar coupling constraints and compared to the X-ray structure of Q8ZP25_SALTY and the NMR structure of homologous protein HYAE_ECOLI. Protein Q8ZP25_SALTY belongs to Pfam PF07449, which itself belongs to the 'thioredoxin-like clan'. However, protein Q8ZP25_SALTY and the other proteins of Pfam PF07449, do not contain the Cys-X-X-Cys active site sequence motif of thioredoxin. The structures presented here exhibit the expected thioredoxin-like fold and support biochemical data suggesting that members of Pfam family PF07449 specifically interact with Tat signal peptides involved in hydrogenase assembly. In chapter 3, the development of a hardware and software infrastructure designed specifically to support high throughput NMR protein structure determination for structural genomics is described. In addition, a "consensus run" protocol is detailed which uses common results from two disparate programs for automated NMR structure determination, namely, CYANA and AUTOSTRUCTURE, to minimize errors in initial NOESY peak assignments. The high throughput infrastructure and consensus run have supported the determination of 47 protein structures to date. Finally, in chapter 4, the relaxation agent and gadolinium chelate gadoversetamide is used to affect the T 1 and T 2 relaxation times of amide and methyl protons in proteins in aqueous solution so as to map protein surfaces. The protocol is explored to distinguish surface and buried residues in order to identify homo-dimer interfaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-dimensional structures of proteins determined in solution by NMR spectroscopy have the unique advantage of revealing details of molecular structure and dynamics in a physiologically relevant state; however, the many tedious steps needed to solve and validate a structure make this method challenging. The barriers to NMR structure determination become higher for larger proteins whose spectra are harder to resolve. It is clear that advances need to be made in automating protein structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. The goal of my research has been to use computational methods to advance the development of high-throughput NMR spectroscopy. Accelerating and streamlining the structure determination process will enable investigators to spend less time solving structures and more time investigating challenging biomolecular systems. My goals have been to develop an automation protocol that integrates multiple steps, ensures the robustness of each step, incorporates iterative corrections, and includes visualization tools to validate and extend the results. I developed PINE-SPARKY as a graphical interface for checking and extending automated assignments made by the PINE-NMR server. ADAPT-NMR directs fast data collection by reduced dimensionality on the basis of ongoing NMR assignments. I helped develop a version of ADAPT-NMR (originally only for Varian spectrometers) for Bruker spectrometers, and I created ADAPT-NMR Enhancer as a visualization tool for validating and extending assignments made by ADAPT-NMR on either spectrometer system. I developed the PONDEROSA package to automate the next steps. PONDEROSA carries out automatic picking of 3D-NOESY peaks and iterative structure determinations with the protein sequence and the assignments as inputs. These automation and visualization tools cover almost all of the steps involved in protein structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. As a practical test of this technology, I solved the structure of the 2A proteinase from the human rhinovirus. As a side project, I built a relational database (PACSY DB) that combines information from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the Biological Magnetic Resonance data Bank (BMRB) and incorporates tools for structure analysis. PACSY DB can carry out complex queries that combine atomic coordinates, NMR parameters, and structural features of proteins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was asked to edit the second edition of Protein NMR Techniques, my first thought was that the time was ripe for a new edition. The past several years have seen a surge in the development of novel methods that are truly revolutionizing our ability to characterize biological macromolecules in terms of speed, accuracy, and size limitations. I was particularly excited at the prospect of making these techniques accessible to all NMR labs and for the opportunity to ask the experts to divulge their hints and tips and to write, practically, about the methods. I commissioned 19 chapters with wide scope for Protein NMR Techniques, and the volume has been organized with numerous themes in mind. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with recombinant protein expression using two organisms, E. coli and P. pastoris, that can produce high yields of isotopically labeled protein at a reasonable cost. Staying with the idea of isotopic labeling, Chapter 3 describes methods for perdeuteration and site-specific protonation and is the first of several chapters in the book that is relevant to studies of higher molecular weight systems. A different, but equally powerful, method that uses molecular biology to “edit” the spectrum of a large molecule using segmental labeling is presented in Chapter 4. Having successfully produced a high molecular weight target for study, the next logical step is data acquisition. Hence, the final chapter on this theme, Chapter 5, describes TROSY methods for stru- ural studies.

Download or read book Protein Structure Determination by Paramagnetic NMR and Computational Hybrid Approach written by Kala Bharath Pilla and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational modelling of proteins that rely on either de novo or evolutionary based approaches often produce poor quality structures, primarily due to the limitations in their algorithms or forcefields. Traditional experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography depend on narrow set of crystallographic conditions while solution/solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy relies on cumbersome spectral analysis and complete resonance assignments. These traditional approaches are slow and costly endeavours. Computational/experimental hybrid approaches on the other hand provide a new avenue for reliable, rapid and cost-effective structure determination. Paramagnetic NMR offers easy generation of useful and sparse structural information which can be implemented as restraints in structure prediction algorithms. Pseudocontact shifts (PCS) are the most powerful of structural restraints generated by paramagnetic NMR which are long range in nature and can be easily obtained by simple 2D NMR experiments. This thesis demonstrates different approaches involved in protein structure calculations using PCS restraints in Rosetta. Chapter 2 demonstrates structure determination using PCS restraints exclusively obtained from protein samples in microcrystalline state by magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Chapter 3 discusses the implementation of using PCS data from multiple metal centres to precisely determine the location of spins in space in a manner analogues to GPS-satellites. Chapter 4 extends the usage of PCS data from multiple metal centres to capture distinct conformational states in proteins. Chapter 5 demonstrates new techniques especially developed for structure determination of large proteins involving super secondary structure motifs (Smotifs) and data driven iterative resampling. These different computational techniques serve the goal of determining accurate 3D models using minimal experimental data, which are applicable to proteins systems that are currently beyond the realm of traditional experimental approaches.
Download or read book On the Determination of Three dimensional Protein Structures by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Methods written by Per J. Kraulis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last 10 years, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have been developed to determine the three-dimensional structures of small proteins. This thesis reviews these methods and discusses their limitations. The assignment of the NMR spectrum of a protein is a necessary, bbut not sufficient, requirement for the determinetion of its structure by NMR methods.For this purpose, an interactive graphics program ANSIG has been developed. Spectrum contours can be viewed, and cross peaks extracted, connested and assigned. Assignment lists and distance restraints lists derived from NOESY cross peak intensities can be produced. A novel algorithm for the calculation of three-dimensional protein structures from inter-proton distance restraints derived ,from NMR data has been implemented in the program NOEDIA. A data base of crystallographically determined protein structured is searched for fragments that fit the data and the protein structure is built from them. Cecropin A, an antibacterial peptide from the giant silk moth HYALOPHORA CECROPIA, was investigated in a solution containing 15% hexafluoroisopropyl alchohol. The three-dimensional structure of the 37-residue peptide was computed from the NMR data ba the simulated dynamical annealing method. It consists of two amphiphatic a-helical regions 5-21 and 24-37, whose relative orientation could not be defined. The cellulases of the filamentous fungus TRICHODERMA REESEI contain a strongly conserved small terminal domain, which is the N-terminal in two of them and C-terminal in the other two. The structure of a synthetic 36-residue peptide corresponding to the C-terminal domain of cellobiohydrolase I was determined grom NMR data using a hybrid distance geometry-dynamic simulated annealing method. The molecule is wedge-shaped and consists of an irregular triplestranded anti-parallel B-sheet. The structure is very well defined due to extensive stereospecific assignments and permits analysis of a number of side chain interactions. The first example of a 3D NMR spectrum of a protein is presented. The combination of two 2D experiments into a 3D experiment facilitates cross peak assignment and potentially increases the size of proteins amenable to structure determination ba NMR.
Download or read book Precise and Accurate Structural Genomics Protein Structure Determination Using RD and GFT NMR Spectroscopy written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has emerged as a powerful tool for determining three-dimensional structures of proteins in solution. The major part of this dissertation describes the efforts to deal with the core steps involved in NMR-base protein structure determination: NMR data collection, NMR data analysis, structure calculation and refinement. NMR data collection has been recognized as one of the major bottlenecks of NMR-base structure determination due to the necessarily long time. Chapter 2 and 3 describe two NMR data collection and analysis protocols for high-quality protein structure determination based on Reduced Dimensionality (RD) and G-matrix Fourier transform (GFT) NMR, respectively. The rapidly collected RD & GFT NMR data enabled high-quality structure determination of four structural genomics target proteins in high-throughput. Chapter 5 introduces the program UBNMR which was developed to facilitate NMR data analysis in general and RD & GFT NMR data pre-processing and data analysis in particular. RD and GFT NMR based protocols, with the aid of UBNMR, are expected to greatly impact on the NMR-based structural biology and structural genomics. In addition to rapid NMR data collection and analysis, structure calculation and refinement are also pivotal for obtaining the high-quality protein structures. Chapter 5 describes the analysis of the newly implemented simultaneous GFT NOESY to obtain an accurate and precise initial structural fold. Chapter 6 presents a protein structure refinement strategy using NOE data collected in supercooled water at low temperatures.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 878 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of methodological developments and applications of solid-state NMR for assignment and high resolution structure determination of microcrystalline proteins and amyloid fibrils are presented. Magic angle spinning spectroscopy on uniformly and selectively "C and '5N labeled samples is performed at magnetic fields from 11.7 to 21.1 T and spinning frequencies from 9 to 65 kHz.Dynamic Nuclear Polarization on nanocrystals of amyloidogenic peptide GNNQQNY is presented demonstrating that 'H-'H spin diffusion can efficiently transfer the enhanced polarization across the solute that is not in an intimate contact with the polarizing agent.An improved theoretical treatment of Rotational Resonance Width (R2W) experiments and its application to determination of precise 13C-13C distance is presented. A general theory of second averaging in modulation frame for designing solid-state NMR experiments is introduced and discussed in the context of two methods: Cosine Modulated Rotary Resonance (CMpRR) for performing a broadband double-quantum 13C-13C recoupling without the need for additional 'H decoupling and Cosine Modulated recoupling with Chemical Shift reintroduction (COMICS) that provides a general frequency selective method for measuring precise 13C-13C distances in uniformly labeled solids. Cosine Modulated Adiabatic Recoupling (CMAR) - an adiabatic extension of the CMpRR, that is particularly robust with respect to rf inhomogeneity, is also introduced. A number of applications CMpRR at 21.1 T to proteins with varying degrees of macroscopic order are presented. A second order Third Spin Assisted Recoupling (TSAR) mechanism is introduced and discussed in detail. The heteronuclear TSAR - Proton Assisted Insensitive Nuclei Cross-Polarization (PAIN-CP) and homonuclear Proton Assisted Recoupling (PAR) yield long distance 13C_1-N, 3C-_13C and 15N- 5N restraints in uniformly labeled systems with spinning frequencies up to 65 kHz that are used for protein structure calculation. Structure, dynamics and polymorphism of amyloidogenic peptide GNNQQNY from the yeast protein sup35p are investigated. Finally, PAIN-CP and '3C-13C PAR are used for high resolution de novo structure determination of 10.4 kDa Crh protein dimer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become one of the most common methods for the determination of three-dimensional (3D) solution structures of proteins. On the other hand, bioinformaticians provide powerful tools to study a protein's biological role. The work of this thesis consists of two major parts: (1) the NMR structure determination of the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium target protein Xanthomonas campestris Xcc2852, and (2) the functional annotation of the NESG Consortium target protein Escherichia coli yhgG. For the 3D structure determination in part (1), we used a standard protocol for NMR-based structural genomics, which enables one to rapidly collect and analyze NMR data. A set of G-matrix Fourier Transform (GFT) NMR experiments were used and feasibility and robustness of the protocol is exemplified. In the bioinformatics study of part (2), sophisticated sequence and structure alignment algorithms were used to explore the possible function of target protein yhgG.
