Study of Oligosaccharide-Lectin Interaction by Various Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Techniques and Computational Methods

  • Chapter
Lectins and Glycobiology

Part of the book series: Springer Laboratory ((SLM))

Abstract

Various Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques in combination with computational methods are successfully used for elucidation of the structure of biomolecules in solution. These powerful methods are necessary if one wants to study and understand biomolecular interaction processes on an atomic level. In this chapter we introduce methods which are suitable for a study of lectin-oligosaccharide interaction on this level. The first step is assignment of the proton resonances, which can be done with multidimensional methods if the spectra have a high resolution (Fig. la). Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) intensities are the most important source of structural information in NMR because of their distance dependence. The dihedral angles between vicinal coupled protons can be determined from scalar coupling constants with the help of the Karplus curve (Karplus 1959; Bystrow 1976). The Transfer NOE (TrNOE) experiment is a special nuclear Overhauser experiment, which gives information about the conformation of a small ligand bound to a receptor. This experiment is especially useful if the receptor molecule is very large and only broad, nonresolved NMR signals (Fig. lb) can be obtained. Computer modeling, especially computer calculations like Molecular Dynamics (MD), are complementary methods used to test the results of the NMR study.
