NMR-based structural characterization of large protein-ligand interactions

J Biomol NMR. 2002 Feb;22(2):165-73. doi: 10.1023/a:1014256707875.

Abstract

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 the need for a complete three-dimensional structure. We will show applications with two tetrameric enzymes of 120 and 170 kDa.
