  text: The advantageous characteristics attributed to the 19F nucleus have made it
    a popular target for NMR once again in recent years. Aside from solution NMR,
    an increasing number of studies have been conducted applying solid-state magic-angle-spinning
    NMR to fluorine-labeled samples. Here, the high chemical shift anisotropy and
    strong dipolar couplings can be utilized to get structural insights into proteins
    and measure long distances. Despite increasing popularity and promising benefits,
    the sensitivity of biomolecular 19F MAS NMR often suffers from slow longitudinal
    T1 relaxation and therefore long recycle delays. In this work, we expand paramagnetic
    doping, an approach commonly used to reduce proton T1 relaxation times, to 19F-labeled
    biological samples. We study the effect of Gd(DTPA) and Gd(DTPA-BMA) on 19F and
    13C T1 and T2 relaxation in a [5-19F13C]-tryptophan-labeled protein via 19F-detected
    MAS NMR experiments. The observed paramagnetic relaxation enhancement substantially
    reduces measurement times of 19F MAS NMR experiments without compromising resolution.
    Additionally, we report the chemical-shift assignments of all four fluorotryptophan
    signals in the 12 × 39 kDa large protein using a mutagenesis approach.

  text: 'The import of proteins into mitochondria poses fundamental mechanistic challenges:
    aggregation-prone precursor proteins must be maintained in aqueous compartments
    and threaded through narrow pores without becoming stuck or mislocalized. Recent
    evidence from mitochondrial protein import studies and other chaperone systems
    underscores the critical role of dynamics in balancing sufficiently tight binding,
    promiscuity, specificity, and release. Dynamic binding of client precursor proteins
    to import machinery components arises naturally from the avidity of their interactions.
    Conformational entropy enhances their stability, while the multivalent nature
    of these interactions ensures that client transfer to downstream insertases occurs
    without a substantial energy barrier. Here, we discuss this emerging paradigm
    of dynamic protein handling, using examples where dynamic structures have been
    resolved and highlight outstanding questions.'

  text: The advantageous characteristics attributed to the 19F nucleus have made it
    a popular target for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) once again in recent years.
    Aside from solution NMR, an increasing number of studies have been conducted applying
    solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR to fluorine-labelled samples. Here,
    the high chemical shift anisotropy and strong dipolar couplings can be utilised
    to get structural insights into proteins and measure long distances. Despite increasing
    popularity and promising benefits, the sensitivity of biomolecular 19F MAS NMR
    often suffers from slow longitudinal T1 relaxation and therefore long recycle
    delays. In this work, we expand paramagnetic doping, an approach commonly used
    to reduce proton T1 relaxation times, to 19F-labelled biological samples. We study
    the effect of Gd(DTPA) and Gd(DTPA-BMA) on 19F T1 and T2, and 13C T1 and T2 relaxation
    in a [5-19F13C]-tryptophan-labelled protein via 19F-detected MAS NMR experiments.
    The observed paramagnetic relaxation enhancement substantially reduces measurement
    times of 19F MAS NMR experiments without compromising resolution. Additionally,
    we report the chemical shift assignments of all four fluorotryptophan signals

  text: The one-bond proton-carbon coupling constant (1JCH) is an insightful probe
    of carbohydrate configuration. Equatorial and axial protons at the C1 position
    typically exhibit distinct 1JCH values, enabling NMR measurements to distinguish
    α- and β-configurations in carbohydrates. In principle, such measurements could
    provide insights into carbohydrates in the cell walls of intact microbes. However,
    traditionally, these measurements are performed by solution NMR with carbohydrates
    that were extracted, solubilized and fractionated, leaving the biological relevance
    of the measurements uncertain. Here, we demonstrate that 1H-detected solid-state
    NMR with fast magic-angle spinning allows quantitative measurements of 1JCH couplings
    for mobile capsular polysaccharides, directly on submilligram amounts of pathogenic
    cells. Our approach is demonstrated on intact cells of the pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus
    neoformans. High-resolution proton-detected spectra enabled the determination
    of coupling constants for five mobile polysaccharide units of the cryptococcal
    capsule, revealing their native configurations and confirming previous solution
    NMR-based anomeric configuration assignments.

  text: AlphaFold3 predicts highly accurate protein structures from sequence but tends
    to collapse to a single dominant conformation, even when the underlying structure
    is inherently heterogeneous. Moreover, its predictions are oblivious to experimental
    conditions that can alter local sequence conformation. In this work, we show that
    AlphaFold3 can be guided to match data obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance
    (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM)
    experiments and combinations thereof. Our approach can also incorporate data that
    explicitly report on dynamics, such as site-resolved order parameters. We demonstrate
    that this methodology generates compact structural ensembles whose ensemble-averaged
    observables agree with experiment, with fewer distance restraint violations than
    traditionally resolved NMR structures and with unmodeled alternate conformations
    uncovered in electron density. This methodology paves the way for experimentally
    aware predictive models that generate structural ensembles consistent with the
    measurements, potentially over multiple modalities, and that can be further refined
    toward thermodynamically grounded ensembles by incorporating energetics.

  text: "Characterizing protein dynamics at the atomic level is essential for our
    understanding of biological mechanisms. Whether it is to facilitate metabolite
    transport, catalyze reactions, transmit signals, or regulate metabolism – proteins
    are constantly in motion and sample multiple conformational states to fulfill
    their function. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is particularly
    well suited to elucidate the dynamics of biomolecules on their complex free-energy
    landscape. In particular, solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR enables the
    study of large molecular assemblies, protein crystals, or insoluble proteins at
    atomic resolution without an inherent molecular size limitation. MAS NMR experiments
    to probe protein dynamics are extremely versatile and sensitive to motional timescales
    from picoseconds to seconds. Over the past decades, technological advances, developments
    in experimental design, and new isotope-labeling approaches have further expanded
    the possibilities of this technique and significantly improved the accuracy of
    the determined motional parameters.\r\nFunctionally important sites of proteins
    often contain aromatic residues. Their side-chain motions have therefore long
    served as valuable indicators of mechanistically relevant dynamics in NMR studies.
    In this thesis, site-specifically labeled aromatic residues act as sensitive reporters
    for MAS NMR studies of protein dynamics. The first part addresses how different
    environments impact side-chain motion by probing ring flips of phenylalanines
    and tyrosines in crystalline proteins and amyloid fibrils. It provides important
    insights for the analysis of dynamics obtained in non-native protein environments
    and emphasizes the complex factors that determine the timescale of internal dynamics.
    In the second part, the focus shifts towards methodological questions regarding
    the investigation of protein dynamics by 19F MAS NMR. The fluorine nucleus exhibits
    promising characteristics for NMR studies but also presents significant challenges,
    which is why the full methodological potential of 19F MAS NMR has not been fully
    realized yet. This work demonstrates that paramagnetic doping can considerably
    reduce the measurement time and improve the sensitivity of fluorinated samples.
    Finally, 19F MAS NMR is evaluated as a tool for studying protein side-chain dynamics
    on the example of tryptophans. The results illustrate the challenges in analyzing
    such experiments and lay the foundation for further development of 19F MAS NMR
    relaxation studies.\r\nTaken together, this thesis highlights the potential of
    combining specific isotope labeling, MAS NMR, and complementary methods such as
    crystallography and computational simulations to elucidate internal protein dynamics.
    The further development of such integrative approaches will be crucial to improving
    our understanding of complex mechanisms and protein function.\r\n"

  text: Protein conformational energy landscapes are shaped not only by intramolecular
    interactions but also by their environment. In protein crystals and protein–protein
    complexes, intermolecular contacts alter this energy landscape, but the exact
    nature of this alteration is difficult to decipher. Understanding how the crystal
    lattice affects protein dynamics is crucial for crystallography-based studies
    of motion, yet its influence on collective motions remains unclear. Aromatic ring
    flips in the hydrophobic core represent sensitive probes of such dynamics. Here,
    we compare the kinetics of aromatic ring flips in the protein GB1 in crystals,
    in complex with its binding partner IgG, and in solution, combining advanced isotope
    labelling with quantitative NMR methods. We show that rings in the core flip nearly
    a thousand times less frequently in crystals than in solution. Enhanced-sampling
    molecular dynamics simulations, based on a crystal structure of a GB1 variant
    reported in this work, reproduce these elevated barriers and reveal how the crystal
    restrains motions.

  text: 'Protein conformational energy landscapes are shaped not only by intramolecular
    interactions but also by their environment. In protein crystals and protein-protein
    complexes, intermolecular contacts alter this energy landscape, but the exact
    nature of this alteration is difficult to decipher. Understanding how the crystal
    lattice affects protein dynamics is crucial for crystallography-based studies
    of motion, yet its influence on collective motions remains unclear. Aromatic ring
    flips in the hydrophobic core represent sensitive probes of such dynamics. Here,
    we compare the kinetics of aromatic ring flips in the protein GB1 in crystals,
    in complex with its binding partner IgG, and in solution, combining advanced isotope
    labeling with quantitative NMR methods. We show that rings in the core flip nearly
    a thousand times less frequently in crystals than in solution. Enhanced-sampling
    molecular dynamics simulations, based on a new crystal structure, reproduce these
    elevated barriers and reveal how the crystal restrains motions. '

  text: "The local structure of a protein strongly impacts its function and interactions\r\nwith
    other molecules. Representing local biomolecular environments remains a\r\nkey
    challenge while applying machine learning approaches over protein structures.
    The structural and chemical variability of these environments makes them\r\nchallenging
    to model, and performing representation learning on these objects\r\nremains largely
    under-explored. In this work, we propose representations for\r\nlocal protein
    environments that leverage intermediate features from machine learning force fields
    (MLFFs). We extensively benchmark state-of-the-art MLFFs,\r\ncomparing their performance
    across latent spaces and downstream tasks, and\r\nshow that their embeddings capture
    local structural (e.g., secondary motifs) and\r\nchemical features (e.g., amino
    acid identity and protonation state), organizing\r\nprotein environments into
    a structured manifold. We show that these representations enable zero-shot generalization
    and transfer across diverse downstream\r\ntasks. As a case study, we build a physics-informed,
    uncertainty-aware chemical shift predictor that achieves state-of-the-art accuracy
    in biomolecular NMR\r\nspectroscopy. Our results establish MLFFs as general-purpose,
    reusable representation learners for protein modeling, opening new directions
    in representation learning for structured physical systems. Code and data are
    available at\r\nhttps://github.com/mb012/MLFF_representation.\r\n"

  text: "Understanding enzyme function requires characterizing not only static structure
    but also dynamics and ligand interactions. NMR spectroscopy provides this insight
    at atomic resolution, yet for large proteins the difficulty of resonance assignment
    has largely confined such studies to systems below ∼50 kDa, or to observing only
    methyl groups. Here we present an integrated magic-angle spinning (MAS) and solution
    NMR study of the 134 kDa tetrameric malate dehydrogenase from Ignicoccus islandicus
    (IiMDH), an enzyme of particular interest as an evolutionary intermediate between
    allosteric lactate\r\ndehydrogenases and non-allosteric malate dehydrogenases.
    By combining high-dimensional (up to 4D) MAS NMR experiments on sedimented protein
    with solution NMR, we achieved 92% backbone heavy- atom assignment and 91% assignment
    of all Ile-δ1, Leu-δ1/-δ2, Val-γ1/-γ2, Met-ε and Thr-γ methyl groups. Building
    on these assignments, we use various probes of backbone and sidechain dynamics:
    elevated MAS NMR 15N rotating-frame relaxation (R1ρ) points to microsecond motions
    in functionally critical regions, including the catalytic loop and the mobile
    surface loop. Complementary methyl-axis order parameters from solution NMR identified
    additional flexible sites in the hydrophobic core. Chemical shift perturbation
    experiments upon addition of the substrate analogue oxamate, monitored via backbone
    1H-15N TROSY, revealed both active-site contacts and responses in helices α2F
    and α3G, regions implicated in allosteric signal transmission. The integrated
    approach demonstrated here exploits the distinct strengths of MAS and solution
    NMR, and provides a comprehensive view of structure, dynamics, and substrate interactions
    in a large oligomeric enzyme that would not be accessible by either technique
    alone."

  text: Proteins exist as a dynamic ensemble of multiple conformations, and these
    motions are often crucial for their functions. However, current structure prediction
    methods predominantly yield a single conformation, overlooking the conformational
    heterogeneity revealed by diverse experimental modalities. Here, we present a
    framework for building experiment-grounded protein structure generative models
    that infer conformational ensembles consistent with measured experimental data.
    The key idea is to treat stateof-the-art protein structure predictors (e.g., AlphaFold3)
    as sequence-conditioned structural priors, and cast ensemble modeling as posterior
    inference of protein structures given experimental measurements. Through extensive
    real-data experiments, we demonstrate the generality of our method to incorporate
    a variety of experimental measurements. In particular, our framework uncovers
    previously unmodeled conformational heterogeneity from crystallographic densities,
    and generates high-accuracy NMR ensembles orders of magnitude faster than the
    status quo. Notably, we demonstrate that our ensembles outperform AlphaFold3 (Abramson
    et al., 2024) and sometimes better fit experimental data than publicly deposited
    structures to the Protein Data Bank (PDB, Burley et al. (2017)). We believe that
    this approach will unlock building predictive models that fully embrace experimentally
    observed conformational diversity.

  text: Pathogenic fungal and bacterial cells are enveloped within a cell wall, a
    molecular barrier at their cell surface, and a critical architecture that constantly
    evolves during pathogenesis. Understanding the molecular composition, structural
    organization, and mobility of polysaccharides constituting this cell envelope
    is crucial to correlate cell wall organization with its role in pathogenicity
    and to identify potential antifungal targets. For the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus
    neoformans, the characterization of the cell envelope has been complexified by
    the presence of an additional external polysaccharide capsular shell. Here, we
    investigate how magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR techniques increase
    the analytical capabilities to characterize the structure and dynamics of this
    encapsulated pathogen. The versatility of proton detection experiments, dynamic-based
    filters, and relaxation measurements facilitate the discrimination of the highly
    mobile external capsular structure from the internal rigid cell wall of C. neoformans.
    In addition, we report the in situ detection of triglyceride molecules from lipid
    droplets based on NMR dynamic filters. Together, we demonstrate a nondestructive
    technique to study the cell wall architecture of encapsulated microbes using C.
    neoformans as a model, an airborne opportunistic fungal pathogen that infects
    mainly immunocompromised but also competent hosts.

  text: The charged arginine side chain is unique in determining many innate properties
    of proteins, contributing to stability and interaction surfaces, and directing
    allosteric regulation and enzymatic catalysis. NMR experiments can be used to
    reveal these processes at the molecular level, but it often requires selective
    insertion of carbon-13, nitrogen-15, and deuterium at defined atomic positions.
    We introduce a method to endow arginine residues with defined isotope patterns,
    combining synthetic organic chemistry and cell-based protein overexpression. The
    resulting proteins feature NMR active spin systems with optimized relaxation pathways
    leading to simplified NMR spectra with a sensitive response to changes in the
    chemical environment of the nuclei observed.

  text: Specialized DNA polymerases facilitate various cellular processes. Despite
    extensive research, the mutagenic effects of these error-prone enzymes on genomes
    are not fully understood. Here we show that Pol IV promotes genomic instability
    in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by misincorporating oxidized guanine nucleotides. This
    activity led to a distinctive mutational signature, characterized by A-to-C transversions
    occurring preferentially at AT sites flanked by a 5’G and/or 3’C. Furthermore,
    Pol IV preferentially targeted pathogenicity genes located at specific chromosomal
    locations near the replication termination region and rRNA-encoding operons. Half
    of the mutation events catalyzed by Pol IV impaired gene function. This can be
    attributed to the bias of Pol IV for mutating codons with its preferred sequence
    contexts, leading to substitutions to unreactive alanine and glycine residues.
    Remarkably, mutation signatures identified for Pol IV were found in clinical isolate
    genomes of P. aeruginosa, providing compelling evidence for its role in genetic
    diversification during pathogen adaptation.

  text: Microsecond-to-millisecond motions are instrumental for many biomolecular
    functions, including enzymatic activity and ligand binding. Bloch-McConnell Relaxation
    Dispersion (BMRD) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key technique
    for studying these dynamic processes. While BMRD experiments are routinely used
    to probe protein motions in solution, the experiment is more demanding in the
    solid state, where dipolar couplings complicate the spin dynamics. It is believed
    that high deuteration levels are required and sufficient to obtain accurate and
    quantitative data. Here we show that even under fast magic-angle spinning and
    high levels of deuteration artifactual “bumps” in 15N R1ρ BMRD profiles are common.
    The origin of these artifacts is identified as a second-order three-spin Mixed
    Rotational and Rotary Resonance (MIRROR) recoupling condition. These artifacts
    are found to be a significant confounding factor for the accurate quantification
    of microsecond protein dynamics using BMRD in the solid state. We show that the
    application of low-power continuous wave (CW) decoupling simultaneously with the
    15N spin-lock leads to the suppression of these conditions and enables quantitative
    measurements of microsecond exchange in the solid state. Remarkably, the application
    of decoupling allows the measurement of accurate BMRD even in fully protonated
    proteins at 100 kHz MAS, thus extending the scope of μs dynamics measurements
    in MAS NMR.

  text: Conference travel contributes to the climate footprint of academic research.
    Here, we provide a quantitative estimate of the carbon emissions associated with
    conference attendance by analyzing travel data from participants of 10 international
    conferences in the field of magnetic resonance, namely EUROMAR, ENC and ICMRBS.
    We find that attending a EUROMAR conference produces, on average, more than 1 t CO2 eq..
    For the analyzed conferences outside Europe, the corresponding value is about
    2–3 times higher, on average, with intercontinental trips amounting to up to 5 t.
    We compare these conference-related emissions to other activities associated with
    research and show that conference travel is a substantial portion of the total
    climate footprint of a researcher in magnetic resonance. We explore several strategies
    to reduce these emissions, including the impact of selecting conference venues
    more strategically and the possibility of decentralized conferences. Through a
    detailed comparison of train versus air travel – accounting for both direct and
    infrastructure-related emissions – we demonstrate that train travel offers considerable
    carbon savings. These data may provide a basis for strategic choices of future
    conferences in the field and for individuals deciding on their conference attendance.

  text: 'Protein conformational energy landscapes are shaped not only by intramolecular
    interactions but also by their environment. In protein crystals and protein-protein
    complexes, intermolecular contacts alter this energy landscape, but the exact
    nature of this alteration is difficult to decipher. Understanding how the crystal
    lattice affects protein dynamics is crucial for crystallography-based studies
    of motion, yet its influence on collective motions remains unclear. Aromatic ring
    flips in the hydrophobic core represent sensitive probes of such dynamics. Here,
    we compare the kinetics of aromatic ring flips in the protein GB1 in crystals,
    in complex with its binding partner IgG, and in solution, combining advanced isotope
    labeling with quantitative NMR methods. We show that rings in the core flip nearly
    a thousand times less frequently in crystals than in solution. Enhanced-sampling
    molecular dynamics simulations, based on a new crystal structure, reproduce these
    elevated barriers and reveal how the crystal restrains motions. '

  text: In this study, we describe an integrated approach for methyl group assignment
    comprising precursor-based selective methyl group labeling, a novel pulse sequence
    for methyl to backbone coherence transfer and chemical shift predictions using
    UCBShift 2.0. The utility of this novel α-ketoacid isotopologue is shown by the
    adaptation of an HMBC-HMQC pulse sequence that simultaneously connects geminal
    methyl groups of leucine and valine residues to each other and to the protein
    backbone. By additional 13C,2H-labeling of residues other than valine and leucine
    residues of the protein, important chemical shift information about neighboring
    residues (following valine and leucine residues) can be achieved. Thus, different
    valine and leucine residues in a protein can be characterized as a specific chemical
    shift vector. Frequency matching with predicted chemical shifts via UCBShift 2.0
    using experimental data taken from a subset of the BMRB database revealed a correct
    assignment performance of about 90%. With applications to proteins of 60.2 kDa
    and 134 kDa (4 × 33.5 kDa) in size, we demonstrate that the approach provides
    valuable information even for very large proteins.
