Abstract
- Abstract: Characterization of the conformational ensemble of disordered proteins is highly important for understanding protein folding and aggregation mechanisms, but remains a computational and experimental challenge owing to the dynamic nature of these proteins. New observables that can provide unique insights into transient residual structures in disordered proteins are needed. Here using denatured ubiquitin as a model system, NMR solvent paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (sPRE) measurements provide an accurate and highly sensitive probe for detecting low populations of residual structure in a disordered protein. Furthermore, a new ensemble calculation approach based on sPRE restraints in conjunction with residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) is used to define the conformational ensemble of disordered proteins at atomic resolution. The approach presented should be applicable to a wide range of dynamic macromolecules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
