Abstract Saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy is a fast and versatile method which can be applied for drug-screening purposes, allowing the determination of essential ligand binding affinities (KD). Although widely employed to study soluble proteins, its use remains negligible for membrane proteins. Here the use of STD NMR for KD determination is demonstrated for two competing substrates with very different binding affinities (low nanomolar to millimolar) for an integral membrane transport protein in both detergent-solubilised micelles and reconstituted proteoliposomes. GltPh, a homotrimeric aspartate transporter from Pyrococcus horikoshii, is an archaeal homolog of mammalian membrane transport proteins—known as excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs). They are found within the central nervous system and are responsible for fast uptake of the neurotransmitter glutamate, essential for neuronal function. Differences in both KD’s and cooperativity are observed between detergent micelles and proteoliposomes, the physiological implications of which are discussed.

<p>We report the use of Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy to observe the interaction of various phenylboronic acids (PBAs) with synthetic glycopolymers presenting galactose and glucose. After optimizing experimental parameters to maximize spin diffusion, the binding of boronic acids to the glycopolymers was examined using STD NMR. Efficient amplification factor build-up curves which were used to generate an epitope map for the boronic acid binding to the glycopolymers. STD-NMR was also used to detect the interaction between indole and a galactosylated glycopolymer, providing an indole-based view of this C-H – π interaction.</p>

AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the etiological cause of the coronavirus disease 2019, for which no effective therapeutics are available. The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is essential for viral replication and constitutes a promising therapeutic target. Many efforts aimed at deriving effective Mpro inhibitors are currently underway, including an international open-science discovery project, codenamed COVID Moonshot. As part of COVID Moonshot, we used saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance (STD-NMR) spectroscopy to assess the binding of putative Mpro ligands to the viral protease, including molecules identified by crystallographic fragment screening and novel compounds designed as Mpro inhibitors. In this manner, we aimed to complement enzymatic activity assays of Mpro performed by other groups with information on ligand affinity. We have made the Mpro STD-NMR data publicly available. Here, we provide detailed information on the NMR protocols used and challenges faced, thereby placing these data into context. Our goal is to assist the interpretation of Mpro STD-NMR data, thereby accelerating ongoing drug design efforts.
