    Abstract Protein solid-state NMR has evolved dramatically over the last two decades, with the development of new hardware and sample preparation methodologies. This technique is now ripe for complex applications, among which one can count bioconjugation, protein chemistry and functional biomaterials. In this review, we provide our account on this aspect of protein solid-state NMR.

    Abstract The assessment of the higher-order structure (HOS) by NMR is a powerful methodology to characterize the structural features of biologics. Forced oxidative stress studies are used to investigate the stability profile, to develop pharmaceutical formulations and analytical methods. Here, the effects of forced oxidative stress by H₂O₂ on the monoclonal antibody Abituzumab have been characterized by a multianalytical approach combining NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, computational tools, and bioassays. This integrated strategy has provided qualitative and semiquantitative characterization of the samples and information at residue level of the effects that oxidation has on the HOS of Abituzumab, correlating them to the loss of the biological activity.

    Abstract Solid-state NMR has become the method of choice for the assessment of protein structure for insoluble objects lacking long-range order. In this context, it is apparent that solid-state NMR is also perfectly poised toward the characterization of immobilized proteins. For these systems, it is possible to understand at the atomic level which perturbations, if any, are occurring as a result of the functionalization. Here we describe how it is possible to accomplish the NMR characterization of enzymes that have been immobilized through different approaches, and we introduce the reader to the choice of the experimental strategy that can be useful in different cases. An outlook on the level of information that can be attained is also given, in view of recent methodological advancements.

    Abstract The variety of magnetic properties exhibited by paramagnetic lanthanoids provides outstanding information in NMR-based structural biology and therefore can be a very useful tool for characterizing lanthanoid-binding proteins. Because of their dependence on the relative positions of the protein nuclei and of the lanthanoid ion, the paramagnetic restraints (PCS, PRDC and PRE) provide information on structure and dynamics of proteins. In this Chapter, we cover the use of lanthanoids in structural biology including protein sample preparation, NMR experiments and data interpretation.

    Abstract The possibility of immobilizing a protein with antigenic properties on a solid support offers significant possibilities in the development of immunosensors and vaccine formulations. For both applications, the orientation of the antigen should ensure ready accessibility of the antibodies to the epitope. However, an experimental assessment of the orientational preferences necessarily proceeds through the preparation/isolation of the antigen, the immobilization on different surfaces and one or more biophysical characterization steps. To predict a priori whether favorable orientations can be achieved or not would allow one to select the most promising experimental routes, partly mitigating the time cost towards the final product. In this manuscript, we apply a simple computational model, based on united-residue modelling, to the prediction of the orientation of the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on surfaces commonly used in lateral-flow devices. These calculations can account for the experimental observation that direct immobilization on gold gives sufficient exposure of the epitope to obtain a response in immunochemical assays.

    Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an effective, commonly used experimental approach to screen small organic molecules against a protein target. A very popular method consists of monitoring the changes of the NMR chemical shifts of the protein nuclei upon addition of the small molecule to the free protein. Multidimensional NMR experiments allow the interacting residues to be mapped along the protein sequence. A significant amount of human effort goes into manually tracking the chemical shift variations, especially when many signals exhibit chemical shift changes and when many ligands are tested. Some computational approaches to automate the procedure are available, but none of them as a web server. Furthermore, some methods require the adoption of a fairly specific experimental setup, such as recording a series of spectra at increasing small molecule:protein ratios. In this work, we developed a tool requesting a minimal amount of experimental data from the user, implemented it as an open-source program, and made it available as a web application. Our tool compares two spectra, one of the free protein and one of the small molecule:protein mixture, based on the corresponding peak lists. The performance of the tool in terms of correct identification of the protein-binding regions has been evaluated on different protein targets, using experimental data from interaction studies already available in the literature. For a total of 16 systems, our tool achieved between 79% and 100% correct assignments, properly identifying the protein regions involved in the interaction.

    Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases hydrolyze proteins and glycoproteins forming the extracellular matrix, cytokines and growth factors released in the extracellular space, and membrane-bound receptors on the outer cell membrane. The pathological relevance of MMPs has prompted the structural and functional characterization of these enzymes and the development of synthetic inhibitors as possible drug candidates. Recent studies have provided a better understanding of the substrate preference of the different members of the family, and structural data on the mechanism by which these enzymes hydrolyze the substrates. Here, we report the recent advancements in the understanding of the mechanism of collagenolysis and elastolysis, and we discuss the perspectives of new therapeutic strategies for targeting MMPs.
