This paper demonstrates that NMR is able to get unique structural and dynamic information on a system as large as 1 MDa.

This is the largest NMR protein structure solved so far. Deuteration with methyl labeling techniques and 4D pulse sequences were critical to solving this structure.

The analysis used the crystal coordinates of inhibitor-free bovine DHFR. The structure was essentially identical to the X-ray structure of the homologous chicken liver DHFR-TMP complex.

However, it is performed with a ligand bound to a series of protein samples that are perdeuterated except for individual amino acid types, such as isoleucine, leucine, valine or methionine. The differential degrees of saturation transfer were interpreted as ambiguous NOEs to construct models using a docking program. This was illustrated for FKBP-2-(3′-pyridyl)-benzimidazole and MurA-uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine complexes.

The strategy was successfully applied to the interaction between a potassium ion channel, KcsA, and a pore blocker, agitoxin2 (AgTx2). The KcsA-binding site of AgTx2 was mapped using TCS. This strategy is useful for analyzing interactions with membrane proteins that need a lipid bilayer environment and are unstable in detergent micelles.

The complex has a molecular mass of 120 kDa. Only the resonances from the interface sense the different proton densities of the receptor protein in the two samples and exhibit different degrees of line broadening, thus revealing the binding face.

NMR analysis of the Ets-1 structure indicates that phosphorylation of the unstructured region dynamically regulates the Ets-1 structure from a partially unfolded DNA-binding conformation to a well-folded inhibited conformation.

51. L based on the SAR by NMR approach is described. NMR-based screening followed by complex structure determination and structure-based optimization resulted in a low nanomolar inhibitor. To minimize uptake by HAS, the HAS spectrum was assigned and the compound was modified to prevent binding to HAS. The ABT-737 compound was shown to induce the regression of lymphoma and small-cell lung carcinoma in mice, and cure a high percentage of them.

The authors tried both NMR-based and in silico screening. Interestingly, the NMR-derived hits were also in the library used for in silico screening, but were not ranked in the top 1000 compounds (from 584 000 compounds). However, the in silico screen contained two active molecules that were not in the library for NMR screens, which suggests the complementary use of these techniques.

Olejniczak Discovery of potent antagonists of the antiapoptotic protein XIAP for the treatment of cancer J Med Chem 47 2004 4417 4426 The authors developed a non-peptidic small-molecular inhibitor of XIAP based on the NMR structure of the SMAC peptide-XIAP complex. The non-peptidic compound possesses a stronger binding activity (5.6 μM) than the parent peptide (812 μM) while preserving the same binding mode. From this study, the authors claim that heterocycles such as thiazoles and imidazoles could serve as a replacement for the peptide fragment.
