Why aren’t more protein structures determined by
NMR? Some (over)generalizations:
Lack of constraints
NMR structures are modeled structures
subject to experimental distance-constraints
Larger proteins = fewer distance constraints
Fewer constraints = less believable structure

Why aren’t chemical shifts used routinely? Some
(over)generalizations:
It’s complicated
Connection between chemicals shifts and structure
complicated
Empirical chemical shift prediction methods made for different
purpose: structural sensitivity & speed issues
Fewer distance constraints = sampling problem
Pioneering work by D. Baker, Vendruscolo, + others in
progress.
Baker et al.: use chemical shifts to guide sampling
Vendruscolo et al.: use chemical shifts as an energy/force
term in MD

Empirical protein chemical shift predictors.
Higher accuracy = structural insensitivity
Minimize difference between computed and experimental
chemical shifts given an x-ray structure.

Summary & outlook
Chemical shifts = better (& bigger?) protein structures
QM-derived chemical shift prediction needed (and around the
corner)
Sampling still an issue(?)
Chemical shift assignment must be automated and re-addressed for
large molecules (Lars Bratholm)
Really large proteins = additional constraints needed (CD, SAXS, HD
exchange etc)
Can QM (PM6-DH+, HF-3c) help in structure refinement?
