II (25 January) on the web - www.nmr.chem.uu.nl/education/sb_27 Topics why use MR...? the very basics multidimensional MR MR relaxation & dynamics 5 /65 7 /65 MR basics pros and cons of MR in structural biology
Pros... MR is spectroscopy... no need for crystal:! no crystal packing artefacts; solution more native-like potential to study dynamics:! picosecond to seconds time scales, conformational averaging, chemical reactions, folding... easy study of protein-protein, protein-da, protein-ligand interactions Cons...... not microscopy! MR structure determination is a bit slow... MR structures have a lower quality... MR works best for MW < 5 kda So..! MR and X-ray crystallography are complementary! 9 /65 /65 The protein sample isotope labeling - unlabelled (peptides) - 5 labelled (small proteins < kda) - 5 & 3 C labelled (larger proteins, up to 3-4 kda) - 5, 3 C & 2 labelled (large proteins > 4 kda) very basics of MR protein production (E.coli) - quite a lot & very pure & stable! 5 ul of.5 mm solution -> ~ 5 mg per sample - 3 C labelling is costly, ~k! per sample - preferably low salt, low p, no additives /65

List at least two reasons why it is more difficult to do MR on very large proteins. 2. ow can the sensitivity of the MR experiment be increased? 3. What factors influence the time it takes for an MR experiment? 4. Is it enough to know all chemical shifts en J-couplings to determine a protein structure by MR? Explain. 5. One could say that we are extremely lucky to be able to do MR, even more so for MRI. Explain. 3/65 32/65
