Why do we go beyond one dimension? To resolve the crowded signals in 1D spectrum by spreading them into other dimensions. To elucidate the “through-bond” and “through-space” relationships between the spins in the molecules.

Two-dimensional Fourier Transform NMR 14 mer

COSY (correlation spectroscopy) The original 2D experiment. Used to identify nuclei that share a scalar (J) coupling. The presence of off-diagonal peaks (cross-peaks) in the spectrum directly correlates the coupled partners. NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy) A 2D method used to map NOE correlations between protons within a molecule. The spectra have a layout similar to COSY but cross peaks now indicate NOEs between the correlated protons.

Isotope-labeling of proteins (II) 15N, 13C labeling Grow proteins on minimal media (M9) with 15NH4Cl as the sole nitrogen source and 13C-glucose as the sole carbon source. $1000-$10000 for mM sample. Structure elucidation of larger proteins (100-250 a.a.)

Isotope-labeling of proteins (III) 15N, 13C, 2H labeling Grow proteins on minimal media (M9) with 15N2H4Cl as the sole nitrogen source and 13C,2H-glucose as the sole carbon source in deuterated water. Re-exchange deuterium on amide nitrogen to protons. Strain must be adapted to grow on D2O. > $10000 for mM sample. Structure elucidation of larger proteins (> 200 a.a.)

Isotope-labeling of proteins (IV) Site-specific labeling Add labeled amino acids to non-labeled media. Assuming that the amino acid is not metabolized, all residues corresponding to that amino acid will be labeled in the protein. Technique is interesting when structural or dynamic information is only required for specific residues. Thereby, the complete assignment of the protein may be circumvented.

Data Analysis CSI

Data Analysis CSI

Structure determination Calculation There is no method for a "direct" or ab initio calculation of a structure from NMR data. We have to include assumptions to make up the lack of experimental data. We therefore have to provide e.g. bond distances and angles for amino acids. NMR structure calculation cannot result in the structure. Instead structure calculation is repeated many times, producing a large number of structural models. All the models that satisfy the experimental constraints are assumed as being representative of the protein.

Data Analysis Calculation

Data Analysis Calculation Start: The temperature is set to 1000-3000 Kelvin which is very hot. At this extreme temperature different conformations of the polypeptide convert into each other very fast. In a completely random manner a large number of conformations are sampled. We let the protein hop and shake around under these unnatural conditions to allow it to sample as many conformations as possible. The NOE distances are always switched on to force the protein to preferentially choose conformations that agree with the NOESY distances. After a while the temperature is slowly reduced over quite some time to room temperature. While the system cools down we slowly reintroduce a correct description of the protein. In the end, we simulate the protein as correct as it is possible on a computer. The structure at the very end of the protocol is saved.
