Abstract

Protein–ligand interactions are of fundamental importance in almost all processes in living organisms. The ligands comprise small molecules, drugs or biological macromolecules and their interaction strength varies over several orders of magnitude. Solution NMR spectroscopy offers a large repertoire of techniques to study such complexes. Here, we give an overview of the different NMR approaches available. The information they provide ranges from the simple information about the presence of binding or epitope mapping to the complete 3 D structure of the complex. NMR spectroscopy is particularly useful for the study of weak interactions and for the screening of binding ligands with atomic resolution.

  • NMR spectroscopy has a long-standing history of being used to effectively detect and measure a wide range of protein-ligand interactions, applicable in high-throughput fashion.

    “An example of the employment of NMR in functional analysis is the detection of protein–metabolite interactions, in fact NMR spectroscopy has a long-standing history of being used to effectively detect and measure a wide range of protein–ligand interactions,144–146 which is also applicable in a high-throughput fashion.”

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes NMR as an efficient way to investigate protein–ligand interactions across a wide range of partners and says it allows fast screening. The Summary and Outlook (page unavailable) likewise describes techniques for weakly and tightly bound ligands. The paper does not establish the claim’s more specific high-throughput applicability; fast screening alone does not demonstrate high throughput. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
